When we emit calls to existential methods silgen produces a sequence of the
three instructions below:
open_existential_addr %0 : $*Pingable to $*@opened("1E467EB8-...") Pingable
witness_method $@opened("1E467EB8-...") Pingable, #Pingable.ping!1
apply %3<@opened("1E467EB8-...") Pingable>(%2)
This commit adds a new CSE-like pass that finds sequences of calls to protocol
methods and reuses the first two instructions open_existential_addr and
witness_method. The optimization finds arguments that must not alias and may not
escape and combines all of the existential method calls to use the same method
lookup. The optimization handles control flow by finding the top dominating
open_existential instruction, and uses that instruction.

As there are no instructions left which produce multiple result values, this is a NFC regarding the generated SIL and generated code.
Although this commit is large, most changes are straightforward adoptions to the changes in the ValueBase and SILValue classes.
(libraries now)
It has been generally agreed that we need to do this reorg, and now
seems like the perfect time. Some major pass reorganization is in the
works.
This does not have to be the final word on the matter. The consensus
among those working on the code is that it's much better than what we
had and a better starting point for future bike shedding.
Note that the previous organization was designed to allow separate
analysis and optimization libraries. It turns out this is an
artificial distinction and not an important goal.
