Add beam_ssa_dead.erl
Add beam_ssa_dead to perform the main optimizations done by beam_dead: * Shortcut branches that jump to another block with a branch. If it can be seen that the second branch will always branch to a specific block, replace the target of the first branch. * Combined nested sequences of '=:=' tests and switch instructions operating on the same variable to a single switch. Diffing the compiler output, it seems that beam_ssa_dead finds many more opportunities for optimizations than beam_dead, although it does not find all opportunities that beam_dead does. In total, beam_ssa_dead is such improvement over beam_dead that there is no reason to keep beam_dead as well as beam_ssa_dead. Note that beam_ssa_dead does not attempt to optimize away redundant bs_context_binary instructions, because that instruction will be superseded by new instructions in the near future.
