nir: add support for removing redundant stores to copy prop var

For example the following type of thing is seen in TCS from
a number of Vulkan and DXVK games:

	vec1 32 ssa_557 = deref_var &oPatch (shader_out float)
	vec1 32 ssa_558 = intrinsic load_deref (ssa_557) ()
	vec1 32 ssa_559 = deref_var &oPatch@42 (shader_out float)
	vec1 32 ssa_560 = intrinsic load_deref (ssa_559) ()
	vec1 32 ssa_561 = deref_var &oPatch@43 (shader_out float)
	vec1 32 ssa_562 = intrinsic load_deref (ssa_561) ()
	intrinsic store_deref (ssa_557, ssa_558) (1) /* wrmask=x */
	intrinsic store_deref (ssa_559, ssa_560) (1) /* wrmask=x */
	intrinsic store_deref (ssa_561, ssa_562) (1) /* wrmask=x */

No shader-db changes on i965 (SKL).

vkpipeline-db results RADV (VEGA):

Totals from affected shaders:
SGPRS: 7832 -> 7728 (-1.33 %)
VGPRS: 6476 -> 6740 (4.08 %)
Spilled SGPRs: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %)
Spilled VGPRs: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %)
Private memory VGPRs: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %)
Scratch size: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %) dwords per thread

LDS: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %) blocks
Max Waves: 989 -> 960 (-2.93 %)
Wait states: 0 -> 0 (0.00 %)

The Max Waves and VGPRS changes here are misleading. What is
happening is a bunch of TCS outputs are being optimised away as
they are now recognised as unused. This results in more varyings
being compacted via nir_compact_varyings() which can result in
more register pressure when they are not packed in an optimal way.
This is an existing problem independent of this patch. I've run
some benchmarks and haven't noticed any performance regressions
in affected games.
