Constant propagation pass #1029

Another powerful optimisation opportunity is constant propagation. This pass should be able to simplify and optimise out as much constness out of an IR body as possible.

This might include things like:

removing comp-time known branch paths
folding constant expressions
simplifying control flow in general
