//! Control flow simplification pass.
//!
//! Simplifies the control flow graph through several transformations:
//!
//! 1. **Jump threading**: Skip intermediate trampoline blocks
//! 2. **Branch canonicalization**: Simplify `branch cond, B, B` to `jump B`
//! 3. **Unreachable tail removal**: Remove code after unconditional exits
//!
//! Uses an iterative fixed-point algorithm to handle cascading simplifications.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! Before:
//! ```text
//! B0: jump B1
//! B1: jump B2
//! B2: ret
//! ```
//!
//! After:
//! ```text
//! B0: jump B2 // Directly to B2
//! B1: jump B2 // Will be eliminated by DCE
//! B2: ret
//! ```
//!
