[llvm] [IPT] Remove ipt.NumInstScanned statistic (PR #168515)

[Luke Lau via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/lukel97 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/168515

The NumInstScanned statistic is non-determinstic across multiple identical invocations of LLVM, and leads to noise when trying to diff LLVM statistics with e.g. ./utils/tdiff.py in llvm-test-suite.

My understanding is that it's non-deterministic because the users of IPT's hasSpecialInstructions/isPreceededBySpecialInstruction API aren't deterministic themselves.

This PR removes it and fixes #157598. This is just a small quality-of-life improvement for the ./utils/tdiff.py workflow, but happy to leave the statistic in if others are using it.
