Implement constant propagation on top of MIR SSA analysis
This implements the idea I proposed in rust-lang/rust#110719 (comment)
Based on rust-lang/rust#109597
The value numbering "GVN" pass formulates each rvalue that appears in MIR with an abstract form (the `Value` enum), and assigns an integer `VnIndex` to each. This abstract form can be used to deduplicate values, reusing an earlier local that holds the same value instead of recomputing. This part is proposed in #109597.
From this abstract representation, we can perform more involved simplifications, for example in rust-lang/rust#111344.
With the abstract representation `Value`, we can also attempt to evaluate each to a constant using the interpreter. This builds a `VnIndex -> OpTy` map. From this map, we can opportunistically replace an operand or a rvalue with a constant if their value has an associated `OpTy`.
The most relevant commit is [Evaluated computed values to constants.](rust-lang/rust@2767c49)"
