I don't get the point, it should be handled by a combination of existing
passes/techniques just fine. no instcountci changes.

No reason to have a separate pass for this, merging should be a bit faster since
it eliminates an IR walk.

also excluded IRValidation because its treatment of blocks blows up and will be

This was causing us to generate invalid code in Darwinia, resulting in a
crash. With assertions enabled this would be picked up in the emitter.
Only implement AddShift optimizations for now because I don't want to do
the remaining optimizations in a bug fix PR.
Fixes Darwinia.
Accidentally we were swapping which sources were the base and which was
the one getting shifted. This wasn't super common so it usually didn't
matter.
Fixes one crash in Darwinia.
use a vec. block indices will be dense in the new IR. This is memory intensive
but seems faster in practice.

Flag DCE needs to do general DCE anyway to converge in one pass. So we can move
the special syscall/atomic logic over to flag DCE and then drop the second DCE
pass altogether. Now local dead code of both is eliminated in a single pass.
Flag DCE is carefully written to converge in a single iteration which makes this
scheme work.

If both the destination and the flags are dead for an AddWithFlags, we need to
eliminate it in one pass. If we only replace without elimiating, we would need a
second DCE pass to eliminate. We want DCE to finish in one pass, so fix this.

This has been deadcode since 2020. Drop it so we can focus on what *does* work
and what does matter.

Generally, there are three reasons to track progress:
* Conditional optimizations. E.g. only run DCE if ConstProp succeeds.
* Fixed point optimizations. E.g. keep running the opt loop until convergence.
* Metadata shenianigans.
None of these apply to FEX. We explicitly do not want a nonlinear pass ordering,
instead we want just a few passes that each converge in a single iteration. We
expect them all to make progress when run. As such, tracking progress is a waste
of CPU cycles. Stop doing it.

New RA does not need it for correctness, and the slight slow down to new RA from
not compacting first is much smaller than the cost of compaction. Overall speeds
up node.js start time by ~6% on top of new RA.

I recommend viewing the new source file as the diff is quite messy.
---
The old RA commits every "how not to write an RA" sin in the book.
Chaitin spill-one loop? Check.
Potential spilling caused by alignment issues since there's no live range
splitting? Check.
Panic spilling? Check.
Generating an interference graph with linear live ranges, so you get the code
quality of linear scan with the cost of graph colouring? Check.
...
It is wholly unsuitable to any application, and specifically unsuitable for FEX.

The new RA exploits a key IR invariant unique to FEX: no values are live across
block boundaries. This is validated.
Because of this invariant, all RA is block local. This lets us use a dead simple
2 pass RA that generates ~optimal code in linear time.
The first pass walks the IR backwards, analyzing the IR. This is a souped up
analogue to liveness analysis.
The second pass walks the IR forward, blasting out registers. If necessary, it
will insert spill and/or shuffle code on the fly. Spilling uses the well-known
furthest-first heuristic, which has excellent results for straight line code.
That's it :-)

Fails with the new RA when copies are inserted, since RAValidation loses
visibility. Nontrivial to fix, but this particular assert hopefully isn't buying
us a ton. Weaken it for now, we can revisit later.

To implement GPRPair "properly", we need to be able to shuffle scalars around
the register file. That means we need explicit copy/swap instructions that RA
can generate them. Add some.
Swap is split in a really sketchy way, because of the 1 instruction = 1 dest
requirement. Hopefully that requirement is lifted in the future and then this
goes away.
