Add FastDSE, a new algorithm for doing dead store elimination. This algorithm is not as accurate

as the current DSE, but it only a linear scan over each block, rather than quadratic.  Eventually
(once it has been improved somewhat), this will replace the current DSE.

NOTE: This has not yet been extensively tested.
