This patch is:

I do like Connor's ideas - we should definitely extend this and use it
in more places.  I think we can easily do that as a follow on series.

It might make sense to (eventually) have an API like:

nir_builder *nir_builder_create(...)

nir_builder_insert_at_cf_list(nir_builder *b, nir_cf_list *cf_list)
nir_builder_insert_at_block_start(nir_builder *b, nir_bblock *block)
nir_builder_insert_at_block_end(nir_builder *b, nir_bblock *block)
nir_builder_insert_after_instr(nir_builder *b, nir_instruction *instr)
nir_builder_insert_before_instr(nir_builder *b, nir_instruction *instr)

I could see us having to store a cf_list/bblock/instr and needing to
swap around several fields, so having functions would be nicer than
prodding at struct fields directly.

But for now, I think it's sufficient - it'll be easy enough to create
later, when we actually make the other APIs and start using them.
