 Fix discarding of unreachable code in the register allocator (#9155)

 A previous fix to this was wrong: f5879acd018494b84233f26fba828ce376d0f81d
 and left some unreachable code behind.  So rather than try to be clever
 and
 do this at the same time as the strongly-connected-component analysis, I'm
 doing a separate reachability pass first.
