Improve non-semantic instruction handling in the optimizer (#3693)
* No longer blindly add global non-semantic info instructions to global
  types and values
  * functions now have a list of non-semantic instructions that succeed
    them in the global scope
  * global non-semantic instructions go in global types and values if
    they appear before any function, otherwise they are attached to the
    immediate function predecessor in the module
* changed ADCE to use the function removal utility
* Modified EliminateFunction to have special handling for non-semantic
  instructions in the global scope
  * non-semantic instructions are moved to an earlier function (or full
    global set) if the function they are attached to is eliminated
  * Added IRContext::KillNonSemanticInfo to remove the tree of
    non-semantic instructions that use an instruction
  * this is used in function elimination
* There is still significant work in the optimizer to handle
  non-semantic instructions fully in the optimizer

* Fixes #2358.  Added to the reducer the ability to remove a function that is not directly called.  Factored out some code from the optimizer to help with this.
