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.

[truncated]

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.

overall LGTM, some minor comments & nits

nit: remove? comment doesn't add much value no? Or maybe explain what those 2 functions are assuming/doing?

Would it be better to pass the MI into intrinsicHasSideEffect and check the opcode then the intrinsic ID inside?
We could also have the comment explaining quickly that the _SIDE_EFFECTS has no meaning for the SPIR-V backend
