Introduce the mandatory beam_a and beam_z passes

Introduce the mandary beam_a pass that will be run directly after code
generation, and the mandatory beam_z pass that will be run just before
beam_asm. Since these passes surround the optimizations, beam_a can
(for example) do instruction renaming to simplify the optimization
passes and beam_z can undo those renamings.
