Auto merge of #116012 - cjgillot:gvn-const, r=oli-obk
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)" r? `@oli-obk`
