I — Slitherin Major Updates

In recent months we at Pessimistic have been actively developing our own Slither detectors to help with code review and audit process. More recently, we have released several new detectors and we encourage you to use them for your initial internal audit!

Reworks and additions

1. pess-uni-v2 detector: Added a check of functions where path parameter is set through an external invocation. Thx @idrocortisone;

2. pess-readonly-reentrancy detector: Added a check of potential vulnerabilities through interfaces. Thx @Yhtiyar;

3. pess-dubious-typecast detector: Complete rework. Looks for typecasts that can break contract logic. Thx @Yhtiyar.

Crucial Fixes
