…gisa Use a more efficient iteration order for forward dataflow Currently, dataflow begins by visiting each block in order of ID (`BasicBlock(0)`, `BasicBlock(1)`, etc.). This PR changes that initial iteration to reverse post-order (see [this blog post](https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2015/directed-graph-traversal-orderings-and-applications-to-data-flow-analysis/#data-flow-analysis) for more info). This ensures that the effects of all predecessors will be applied before a basic block is visited if the CFG has no back-edges, and should result in less total iterations even when back-edges exist. This should not change the results of dataflow analysis. The current ordering for basic blocks may be pretty close to RPO already--`BasicBlock(0)` is already the start block--in which case the cost of doing the traversal up front will outweigh the efficiency gains. A perf run is needed to check this. r? @pnkfelix (I think).
