This is needed after running the SSAUpdater, because the updater can insert unnecessary phis in the middle of the original liverange of a value.
Fixes an ownership error.

For years, optimizer engineers have been hitting a common bug caused by passes
assuming all SILValues have a parent function only to be surprised by SILUndef.
Generally we see SILUndef not that often so we see this come up later in
testing. This patch eliminates that problem by making SILUndef uniqued at the
function level instead of the module level. This ensures that it makes sense for
SILUndef to have a parent function, eliminating this possibility since we can
define an API to get its parent function.

It lowers let property accesses of classes.
Lowering consists of two tasks:
* In class initializers, insert `end_init_let_ref` instructions at places where all let-fields are initialized.
This strictly separates the life-range of the class into a region where let fields are still written during
initialization and a region where let fields are truly immutable.
* Add the `[immutable]` flag to all `ref_element_addr` instructions (for let-fields) which are in the "immutable"
region. This includes the region after an inserted `end_init_let_ref` in an class initializer, but also all
let-field accesses in other functions than the initializer and the destructor.
This pass should run after DefiniteInitialization but before RawSILInstLowering (because it relies on `mark_uninitialized` still present in the class initializer).
Note that it's not mandatory to run this pass. If it doesn't run, SIL is still correct.
Simplified example (after lowering):
bb0(%0 : @owned C): // = self of the class initializer
%1 = mark_uninitialized %0
%2 = ref_element_addr %1, #C.l // a let-field
store %init_value to %2
%3 = end_init_let_ref %1 // inserted by lowering
%4 = ref_element_addr [immutable] %3, #C.l // set to immutable by lowering
%5 = load %4
