[mir-opt] GVN some more transmute cases
We already did `Transmute`-then-`PtrToPtr`; this adds the nearly-identical `PtrToPtr`-then-`Transmute`.
It also adds `transmute(Foo(x))` → `transmute(x)`, when `Foo` is a single-field transparent type. That's useful for things like `NonNull { pointer: p }.as_ptr()`. It also detects when a `Transmute` is just an identity-for-the-value `PtrCast` between different raw pointer types, to help such things fold with other GVN passes.
Found these as I was looking at <https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/807>-related changes. This also removes the questionably-useful "turn a transmute into a field projection" part of instsimplify (which I added ages ago without an obvious need for it) since that would just put back the field projections that MCP807 is trying to ban.
