glsl_to_tgsi: remove unnecessary dead code elimination pass

With the more advanced dead code elimination pass already being run,
eliminate_dead_code was making no difference in instruction count, and had
an undesirable O(n^2) runtime. So remove it and rename
eliminate_dead_code_advanced to eliminate_dead_code.
