Removing debug-intrinsics requires that we always insert with an iterator, not with an instruction position. To enforce that, we need to eliminate the `Instruction *` taking functions. It's safe to leave the insert-at-end-of-block functions as the intention is clear for debug info purposes (i.e., insert after both instructions and debug-info at the end of the function).

This patch demonstrates how that needs to happen. At a variety of call-sites to the `CreateNeg` constructor we need to consider:
 * Has this instruction been selected because of the operation it performs? In that case, just call `getIterator` and pass an iterator in.
 * Has this instruction been selected because of it's position? If so, we need to keep the iterator identifying that position (see the 3rd hunk changing Reassociate.cpp, although it's coincidentally not debug-info significant).

This also demonstrates what we'll try and do with the constructor methods going forwards: have one fully explicit set of parameters including iterator, and another with default-arguments where the block-to-insert-into argument defaults to nullptr / no-position, creating an instruction that hasn't been inserted yet. We could try and have an optional iterator with a default of std::nullopt, IMO that's un-necessarily fiddly.

That involves deleting an assertion that you're not inserting into a nullptr block. IMO this is isn't ideal but is OK: you can already accidentally create-without-insertion with an unexpectedly null instruction pointer variable, this expands it to having an unexpectedly null block pointer variable. The assertion failure just happens sometime later.

Subject: [PATCH] [RemoveDIs] Switch CreateNeg to only accepting iterators

Removing debug-intrinsics requires that we always insert with an iterator;
this patch demonstrates how that needs to happen. At a variety of
call-sites to the CreateNeg constructor we need to consider:
 * Has this instruction been selected because of the operation it performs?
   In that case, just call getIterator and pass an iterator in.
 * Has this instruction been selected because of it's position? If so, we
   need to keep the iterator identifying that position (see the 3rd hunk
   changing Reassociate.cpp).

This also demonstrates what we'll try and do with the constructor methods:
have one fully explicit set of parameters, and another where the last
position argument defaults to nullptr / no-position, creating an
instruction that hasn't been inserted yet.
