vc4: Convert vc4_opt_dead_code to work in the presence of control flow.

With control flow, we can't be sure that we'll see the uses of a variable
before its def as we walk backwards.  Given that NIR is eliminating our
long chains of dead code, a simple solution for now seems fine.

This slightly changes the order of some optimizations, and so an opt_vpm
happens before opt_dce, causing 3 dead MOVs to be turned into dead FMAXes
in Minecraft:

instructions in affected programs:     52 -> 54 (3.85%)

- * This is a simmple dead code eliminator for QIR with no control flow.
+ * This is a simple dead code eliminator for SSA values in QIR.
  *
- * It walks from the bottom of the instruction list, removing instructions
- * with a destination that is never used, and marking the sources of non-dead
- * instructions as used.
+ * It walks all the instructions finding what temps are used, then walks again
+ * to remove instructions writing unused temps.
+ *
+ * This is an inefficient implementation if you have long chains of
+ * instructions where the entire chain is dead, but we expect those to have
+ * been eliminated at the NIR level, and here we're just cleaning up small
+ * problems produced by NIR->QIR.
