Loop unrolling expects the last block in the loop to be empty once we splice the instructions in the last block into the continue branch. The problem is we cant move phis so here we lower the phis to regs when preparing the loop for unrolling. As it could be possible to have multiple additional blocks/ifs following the terminator we just convert all phis at the top level of the loop body for simplicity. We also add some comments to loop_prepare_for_unroll() while we are here.
