[WARP] Refactor variable retrieval to fix eager dependence on the functions MLIL

It is important that we only retrieve the medium-level IL if the function has
any user-defined variables, otherwise, we will possibly be generating MLIL for no reason.
For the above reason, we do a filter on user-defined variables first.
