🚀 Feature Request

As an analogue to the flush writes optimization (https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/blob/main/third_party/move/move-compiler-v2/src/pipeline/flush_writes_processor.rs#L4), implement an "eager pushes" optimization which identifies cases where eagerly pushing a value onto the stack (safely) will result in fewer StLoc-MovLoc pairs later.

For example, compiling the code below with compiler v2:

module 0xc0ffee::m {
    fun one(): u64 {
        1
    }

    fun bar(x: &mut u64, i: u64) {
        *x = i;
    }

    public fun foo(x: &mut u64, len: u64) {
        while (len > 0) {
            bar(x, one());
            len = len - 1;
        };
    }
}

Will result in the following bytecode for the function foo:

public foo(Arg0: &mut u64, Arg1: u64) /* def_idx: 1 */ {
L2:	loc0: u64
L3:	loc1: &mut u64
B0:
	0: CopyLoc[1](Arg1: u64)
	1: LdU64(0)
	2: Gt
	3: BrFalse(16)
B1:
	4: CopyLoc[0](Arg0: &mut u64)
	5: StLoc[3](loc1: &mut u64)
	6: Call one(): u64
	7: StLoc[2](loc0: u64)
	8: MoveLoc[3](loc1: &mut u64)
	9: MoveLoc[2](loc0: u64)
	10: Call bar(&mut u64, u64)
	11: MoveLoc[1](Arg1: u64)
	12: LdU64(1)
	13: Sub
	14: StLoc[1](Arg1: u64)
	15: Branch(0)
B2:
	16: MoveLoc[0](Arg0: &mut u64)
	17: Pop
	18: Ret
}

Of particular interest is the basic block B1, where instructions numbered 5, 7, 8, 9 can be deleted without affecting the semantics.

This example and several others reduced from the framework are part of the tests in third_party/move/move-compiler-v2/tests/eager-pushes/.
