06cdb96984 Make use of the instruction folder.
Implementation of the simplification pass.

- Create pass that calls the instruction folder on each instruction and
  propagate instructions that fold to a copy.  This will do copy
  propagation as well.

- Did not use the propagator engine because I want to modify the instruction
  as we go along.

- Change folding to not allocate new instructions, but make changes in
  place.  This change had a big impact on compile time.

- Add simplification pass to the legalization passes in place of
  insert-extract elimination.

- Added test cases for new folding rules.

- Added tests for the simplification pass

- Added a method to the CFG to apply a function to the basic blocks in
  reverse post order.

Contributes to #1164.

bc1ec9418b Add general folding infrastructure.
Create the folding engine that will

1) attempt to fold an instruction.
2) iterates on the folding so small folding rules can be easily combined.
3) insert new instructions when needed.

I've added the minimum number of rules needed to test the features above.
