<summary>Changes</summary>

When using the LLVM flang compiler with alias analysis (AA) enabled, SPEC2017:548.exchange2_r was running significantly slower than wihtout the AA.

This was caused by the GVN pass replacing many of the loads in the pre-AA code with phi-nodes that form a long chain of dependencies, which the function specialization was unable to follow.

This adds a function to follow phi-nodes when they are a strongly connected component, with some limitations to avoid spending ages analysing phi-nodes.

The minimum latency savings also had to be lowered - fewer load instructions means less saving.

Adding some more prints to help debugging the isProfitable decision.

No significant change in compile time or generated code-size.
