[StripGCRelocates] New pass to remove gc.relocates added by RS4GC

Summary:
Utility pass to remove gc.relocates created by rewrite statepoints for GC.
With respect to safepoint verification, the IR generated would be incorrect, and cannot run
as such.

This would be a single transformation on the final optimized IR.
The benefit of the pass is for easy analysis when the IRs are 'polluted' by too
many gc.relocates.
Added tests.

test run: All RS4GC tests with -verify option. Local downstream tests on large
IR files. This also works when the pointer being gc.relocated is another
gc.relocate.
