Nick Fitzgerald 937601c7c3 Cranelift: GVN spectre guards and run redundant load elimination twice (#5517)
* Cranelift: Make spectre guards GVN-able

While these instructions have a side effect that is otherwise invisible to the
optimizer, the side effect in question is idempotent, so it can be de-duplicated
by GVN.

* Cranelift: Run redundant load replacement and GVN twice

This allows us to actually replace redundant Wasm loads with dynamic memories.

While this improves our hand-crafted test sequences, it doesn't seem to have any
improvement on sightglass benchmarks run with dynamic memories, however it also
isn't a hit to compilation times, so seems generally good to land anyways:

This crate contains the core Cranelift code generator. It translates code from an intermediate representation into executable machine code.
