bug fix: stop all kinds of expressions from cnf-exploding #14585

Description

In a recent change (#14560) we fixed a bug in the CNF rewriter that stopped it from rewriting a lot of cases.
Unfortunately, we succeeded too well, and the newly rewritten expressions are timing out in expression fuzzing on CI. This is because CNF rewriting in some situations result in huge outputs (see Wikipedia)

This PR stops the rewriting once the produced expression has grown to 10 times the size of the original expression.

Tests

  • Bug fixes should have at least one unit or end-to-end test, enhancement and new features should have a sufficient number of tests.

Documentation

  • Apply the release notes (needs details) label if users need to know about this change.
  • New features should be documented.
  • There should be some code comments as to why things are implemented the way they are.
  • There should be a comment at the top of each new or modified test to explain what the test does.

New flags

  • Is this flag really necessary?
  • Flag names must be clear and intuitive, use dashes (-), and have a clear help text.

I think we need to look at benchmarks for this @systay, the O complexity of this new code is pathological because after each rewrite, you need to walk the whole AST to count the nodes.

Since we control the rewrite patterns, I think it would be much more efficient to keep track of the amount of added & removed nodes during the rewrite. The tracking doesn't need to be fully accurate, just enough to detect unbounded growth, so it should be very easy to implement!

Yeah, you are right. This was sloppy. I'll work on it
