Reland^2 "[turbofan] eagerly prune None types and deadness from the graph"

Now, the EffectControlLinearizer connects all occurrences of Unreachable to the 
graph end. This fixes issues with later phases running DeadCodeElimination and
introducing new DeadValue nodes when processing uses of Unreachable.

This is a reland of 3c4bc27f132b6221836e702684cdb4a3e0d009c0
