transforms.cfg_simplifier: remove.

Specifically, the following idiom broke our CFGSimplifier:

b1:
  branch_if %cond, %b2, %b3
b2:
  branch %b3
b3:
  %v = phi [ %b2 => 0, %b3 => 1 ]

This is very annoying to properly handle in general case, and also
this (specifically %b2) is exactly what broke LocalAccessValidator
in the first place. So, remove CFGSimplifier altogether.

Instead, teach LocalAccessValidator how to look through predecessors
in order to get a location.
