[Bug-Candidate]: AssertionError in ssa.py

[mds1]

Describe the issue:

Older versions of solmate's DSTestPlus have the below block of code (it's slightly modified in newer versions, and I haven't tested those). Even though we don't use the block of code in question, it causes the error shown below.

string private checkpointLabel;
uint256 private checkpointGasLeft;

function startMeasuringGas(string memory label) internal virtual {
    checkpointLabel = label;
    checkpointGasLeft = gasleft();
}

function stopMeasuringGas() internal virtual {
    uint256 checkpointGasLeft2 = gasleft();

    string memory label = checkpointLabel;

    emit log_named_uint(string(abi.encodePacked(label, " Gas")), checkpointGasLeft - checkpointGasLeft2);
}

Logging the value of ir and variable in ssa.py's get_variable method prints the following right before the error:

ir: checkpointLabel(string) := label(string)
variable: checkpointLabel

Since we were't using the code, I was able to comment out the problematic section and use slither, though I'm not sure of other workarounds if we were using it

Code example to reproduce the issue:

I get the following message when running with disallow-partial:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/alpharush/tob/slither/slither/solc_parsing/declarations/contract.py", line 553, in _analyze_params_elements
    if accessible_elements[element.full_name] != all_elements[element.canonical_name]:
KeyError: 'startMeasuringGas(string)'

I think this import alias with collision is the issue as if I rename the contract it works (there's a separate issue for ternaries) https://github.com/endaoment/endaoment-contracts-v2/blob/main/src/test/utils/DSTestPlus.sol#L4-L10

Lines 407 to 409 in b96beea

	contract_name = contract_parser.underlying_contract.file_scope.renaming[
	contract_name
	]

This code here doesn't account for contract name collisions and returns the same contract. This causes a contract to be set as inheriting from itself. This becomes clear if you add an assertion that none of the ancestors contract id's match the contract
