Fix a README item by having InstructionSimplify do a mild form of value
numbering, in which it considers (for example) "%a = add i32 %x, %y" and
"%b = add i32 %x, %y" to be equal because the operands are equal and the
result of the instructions only depends on the values of the operands.
This has almost no effect (it removes 4 instructions from gcc-as-one-file),
and perhaps slows down compilation: I measured a 0.4% slowdown on the large
gcc-as-one-file testcase, but it wasn't statistically significant.
