ir::Block was used to represent a sequence of Stmts in the original low-level IR.
The nested ir::Block structure is not really friendly for recursive visits,
especially when the statements are unrolled.

This PR introduce a SeqStmt that directly stores a sequence of statements in an Array container.
The new SeqStmt will be used as a replacement of the original Block structure.

more specifically, it is to flatten a consumer? can we elaborate a bit in the comment why this is useful?

The consumer tag was not as useful as producers and can in general be dropped. This was the original behavior that we used to had in Flattening sequences. Once we uprgade to the versions the Producer consumer markup may cease to be useful, so we can safely remove that part
