Description

It is very common to need the FunctionType given a IL Call instruction. We should provide a nice API on the commonil.Call which does all the correct things for the user. By default this API should also take into account the usage of Call type overrides but have the option to disregard them. We may potentially even want to allow the setting of the function type given a Call instruction.

Research direction

Locate the commonil.Call implementation and the existing handling for call type overrides first. Done means the API returns the appropriate FunctionType by default, can disregard call type overrides when requested, and clarifies whether setting the function type is supported.
