 Add a CSE pass to Stg (#9291)

 This CSE pass only targets data constructor applications. This is
 probably the best we can do, as function calls and primitive operations
 might have side-effects.

 Introduces the flag -fstg-cse, enabled by default with -O for now. It
 might also be a good candiate for -O2.
