Description

As suggested by @ehildenb (https://github.com/runtimeverification/evm-semantics/issues/1963#issuecomment-1652119790), we should have a loud warning on passed proofs if any nodes are passed because they are bounded, something like "Proof passed, but NNN nodes were loop-depth bounded at MMM iterations, re-run with --unbounded-loops for full verification."

Research direction

Start by locating the proof completion/reporting entry point and the handling of loop-depth bounds. Done means a passed proof reports the number of bounded nodes and the iteration limit, and includes --unbounded-loops for full verification.
