// This is an extremely simple MachineInstr-level copy propagation pass.
//
// This pass forwards the source of COPYs to the users of their destinations
// when doing so is legal.  For example:
//
//   %reg1 = COPY %reg0
//   ...
//   ... = OP %reg1
//
// If
//   - %reg0 has not been clobbered by the time of the use of %reg1
//   - the register class constraints are satisfied
//   - the COPY def is the only value that reaches OP
// then this pass replaces the above with:
//
//   %reg1 = COPY %reg0
//   ...
//   ... = OP %reg0
//
// This pass also removes some redundant COPYs.  For example:
//
//    %R1 = COPY %R0
//    ... // No clobber of %R1
//    %R0 = COPY %R1 <<< Removed
//
// or
//
//    %R1 = COPY %R0
//    ... // No clobber of %R0
//    %R1 = COPY %R0 <<< Removed
//
