optimizing: add block-scoped constructor fence merging pass

Introduce a new "Constructor Fence Redundancy Elimination" pass.
The pass currently performs local optimization only, i.e. within instructions
in the same basic block.

All constructor fences preceding a publish (e.g. store, invoke) get
merged into one instruction.

Removes ~91.5% of the 'final' constructor fences in RitzBenchmark:

(We do not distinguish the exact reason that a fence was created, so
it's possible some "new" fences were also removed.)
