It's used to implement `InstructionSet` and `ValueSet`: sets of SILValues and SILInstructions.
Just like `BasicBlockSet` for basic blocks, the set is implemented by setting bits directly in SILNode.
This is super efficient because insertion and deletion to/from the set are basic bit operations.
The cost is an additional word in SILNode. But this is basically negligible: it just adds ~0.7% of memory used for SILInstructions.
In my experiments, I didn't see any relevant changes in memory consumption or compile time.
