Introduces a region level algorithm for dead-code elimination, which is capable of deleting unused operations which occur in cycles and deleting blocks. It is modeled on the mlir implementation. While the mlir implementation separates this into two separate passes (removing dead blocks and then removing dead operations) they have a todo comment for merging them, and so I have implemented it here as a single pass.
I have not implemented removal of block argument removal, for the sake of keeping this PR smaller and my own sanity, as it seems to add a fair bit of complexity.
