…ation (#6208)

# Description

## Problem\*

Part of general effort reduce Brillig bytecode sizes

## Summary\*

Follow-up to #6207

From comments inside the PR:
```
/// If we have an array set whose value is from an array get on the same array at the same index,
/// we can simplify that array set to the array we were looking to perform an array set upon.
///
/// Simple case:
/// v3 = array_get v1, index v2
/// v5 = array_set v1, index v2, value v3
///
/// If we could not immediately simplify the array set from its value, we can try to follow
/// the array set backwards in the case we have constant indices:
///
/// v3 = array_get v1, index 1
/// v5 = array_set v1, index 2, value [Field 100, Field 101, Field 102]
/// v7 = array_set mut v5, index 1, value v3
///
/// We want to optimize `v7` to `v5`. We see that `v3` comes from an array get to `v1`. We follow `v5` backwards and see an array set
/// to `v1` and see that the previous array set occurs to a different constant index.
///
/// For each array set:
/// - If the index is non-constant we fail the optimization since any index may be changed.
/// - If the index is constant and is our target index, we conservatively fail the optimization.
/// - Otherwise, we check the array value of the `array_set``. We will refer to this array as array'.
///   In the case above, array' is `v1` from `v5 = array set ...`
///   - If the original `array_set` value comes from an `array_get`, check the array in that `array_get` against array'. 
///   - If the two values are equal we can simplify.
///     - Continuing the example above, as we have `v3 = array_get v1, index 1`, `v1` is
///       what we want to check against array'. We now know we can simplify `v7` to `v5` as it is unchanged.
///   - If they are not equal, recur marking the current `array_set` array as the new array id to use in the checks
```
