The instruction selection pass for SPIR-V now performs dead code
elimination (DCE).
This change removes unused instructions, leading to more optimized
SPIR-V output.
As a consequence of this, several tests were updated to ensure their
continued
correctness and to prevent previously tested code from being optimized
away.
Specifically:
- Many tests now store computed values into global variables to ensure
they are
not eliminated by DCE, allowing their code generation to be verified.
- The test `keep-tracked-const.ll` was removed because it no longer
tested
its original intent. The check statements in this test were for
constants
generated when expanding a G_TRUNC instruction, which is now removed by
DCE
instead of being expanded.
- A new test, `remove-dead-type-intrinsics.ll`, was added to confirm
that dead
struct types are correctly removed by the compiler.
These updates improve the SPIR-V backends optimization capabilities and
maintain the robustness of the test suite.

Removes uniformity bit from resource initialization intrinsics `llvm.{dx|spv}.resource.handlefrombinding` and `llvm.{dx|spv}.resource.handlefromimplicitbinding`. The flag currently always set to `false`. It should be derived from resource analysis and not provided by codegen.
Closes#135452
This is a quick fix to make progress to the backend until we get a
proper type scavenging system.
The previous code was only checking the type if the resource was used
once. Slightly changed the code to look to all usages, and get the first
type.
This will certainly break in other cases, but it allows us to move
forward for now until we rewrite the type scavenging to handle untyped
GEP/ptradd correctly.
