analyzer: Remove unused variable to resolve compiler warning.

Removes an unused variable in the analyzer to fix a compiler warning.

This commit removes an unused variable, lhs_type, in the ana::kf_strcasecmp::impl_call_post function within the GCC analyzer. This resolves a compiler warning, improving code cleanliness and maintainability. The change has no functional impact but contributes to a cleaner codebase.

In Details

The GCC analyzer uses abstract interpretation to find potential bugs in code. This commit removes an unused variable in kf.cc within the analyzer, specifically in the kf_strcasecmp::impl_call_post function. The variable lhs_type was declared but not used, triggering a -Wunused-variable warning.

For Context

The GCC compiler includes a static analysis tool that can identify potential bugs in code before it is executed. This analysis is performed by examining the code and simulating its execution to detect issues like memory leaks, null pointer dereferences, and unused variables. This commit addresses a minor issue within the analyzer itself, removing an unused variable to eliminate a compiler warning and improve the analyzer's code quality.
