[analyzer][NFC] Remove irrelevant overcomplicated test (#147536) This commit removes the test file test-member-invalidation.cpp which was recently introduced in 39bc0529b018a89b4b6a21aaabe240cd3a65c44d by splitting off a test case from new.cpp. In that commit I preserved that test in a slightly modified setting to demonstrate that it wasn't broken by the change; but in this separate commit I'm removing it because I don't think that it "deserves a place" among our tests. The primary issue is that this test examines the values of data members of a deleted object -- which is irrelevant, because code that relies on the value of these members should be reported as a use-after-free bug. (In fact, cplusplus.NewDelete reports it as a use-after-free bug, and the checker family `MallocChecker` sinks the execution path even if that particular frontend is not enabled.) Moreover, a comment claimed that this tests "Invalidate Region even in case of default destructor" while in fact it tested a situaton where the destructor is a plain declared-but-not-defined method. The invalidation of `this` is done by the conservative evaluation, and we don't need this overcomplicated test to validate that very basic behavior.
