* A #MFProcedure optimization pass takes an existing procedure and changes it in a way that
* improves its performance when executed.
*
* Oftentimes it would also be possible to implement a specific optimization directly during
* construction of the initial #MFProcedure. There is a trade-off between doing that or just
* building a "simple" procedure and then optimizing it uses separate optimization passes.
* - Doing optimizations directly during construction is typically faster than doing it as a
* separate pass. However, it would be much harder to turn the optimization off when it is not
* necessary, making the construction potentially slower in those cases.
* - Doing optimizations directly would also make code more complex, because it mixes the logic
* that generates the procedure from some other data with optimization decisions.
* - Having a separate pass allows us to use it in different places when necessary.
* - Having a separate pass allows us to enable and disable it easily to better understand its
* impact on performance.

* When generating a procedure, destruct instructions (#MFDestructInstruction) have to be inserted
* for all variables that are not outputs. Often the simplest approach is to add these instructions
* at the very end. However, when the procedure is executed this is not optimal, because many more
* variables are initialized at the same time than necessary. This inhibits the reuse of memory
* buffers which decreases performance and increases memory use.
*
* This optimization pass moves destruct instructions up in the procedure. The goal is to destruct
* each variable right after its last use.
*
* For simplicity, and because this is the most common use case, this optimization currently only
* works on a single chain of instructions. Destruct instructions are not moved across branches.
*
* \param procedure The procedure that should be optimized.
* \param block_end_instr The instruction that points to the last instruction within a linear chain
* of instructions. The algorithm moves instructions backward starting at this instruction.
