De-duplicate constants and unifies the uses of constants for a SPIR-V
module. If two constants are defined exactly the same, only one of them
will be kept and all the uses of the removed constant will be redirected
to the kept one.
This pass handles normal constants (defined with
OpConstant{|True|False|Composite}), some spec constants (those defined
with OpSpecConstant{Op|Composite}) and null constants (defined with
OpConstantNull).
There are several cases not handled by this pass:
1) If there are decorations for the result id of a constant defining
instruction, that instruction will not be processed. This means the
instruction won't be used to replace other instructions and other
instructions won't be used to replace it either.
2) This pass does not unify null constants (defined with
OpConstantNull instruction) with their equivalent zero-valued normal
constants (defined with OpConstant{|False|Composite} with zero as the
operand values or component values).
