/// Propagate references using SSA analysis.
///
/// MIR building may produce a lot of borrow-dereference patterns.
///
/// This pass aims to transform the following pattern:
///   _1 = &raw? mut? PLACE;
///   _3 = *_1;
///   _4 = &raw? mut? *_1;
///
/// Into
///   _1 = &raw? mut? PLACE;
///   _3 = PLACE;
///   _4 = &raw? mut? PLACE;
///
/// where `PLACE` is a direct or an indirect place expression.
///
/// There are 3 properties that need to be upheld for this transformation to be legal:
/// - place stability: `PLACE` must refer to the same memory wherever it appears;
/// - pointer liveness: we must not introduce dereferences of dangling pointers;
/// - `&mut` borrow uniqueness.
///
/// # Stability
///
/// If `PLACE` is an indirect projection, if its of the form `(*LOCAL).PROJECTIONS` where:
/// - `LOCAL` is SSA;
/// - all projections in `PROJECTIONS` have a stable offset (no dereference and no indexing).
///
/// If `PLACE` is a direct projection of a local, we consider it as constant if:
/// - the local is always live, or it has a single `StorageLive`;
/// - all projections have a stable offset.
///
/// # Liveness
///
/// When performing a substitution, we must take care not to introduce uses of dangling locals.
/// To ensure this, we walk the body with the `MaybeStorageDead` dataflow analysis:
/// - if we want to replace `*x` by reborrow `*y` and `y` may be dead, we allow replacement and
///   mark storage statements on `y` for removal;
/// - if we want to replace `*x` by non-reborrow `y` and `y` must be live, we allow replacement;
/// - if we want to replace `*x` by non-reborrow `y` and `y` may be dead, we do not replace.
///
/// # Uniqueness
///
/// For `&mut` borrows, we also need to preserve the uniqueness property:
/// we must avoid creating a state where we interleave uses of `*_1` and `_2`.
/// To do it, we only perform full substitution of mutable borrows:
/// we replace either all or none of the occurrences of `*_1`.
///
/// Some care has to be taken when `_1` is copied in other locals.
///   _1 = &raw? mut? _2;
///   _3 = *_1;
///   _4 = _1
///   _5 = *_4
/// In such cases, fully substituting `_1` means fully substituting all of the copies.
///
/// For immutable borrows, we do not need to preserve such uniqueness property,
/// so we perform all the possible substitutions without removing the `_1 = &_2` statement.
