As reported in https://reviews.llvm.org/D83101#2133062
the new visitInsertElementInst()/visitExtractElementInst() functionality
is causing miscompiles (previously-crashing test added)
It is due to the fact how the infra of Scalarizer is dealing with DCE,
it was not updated or was it ready for such scalar value forwarding.
It always assumed that the moment we "scalarized" something,
it can go away, and did so with prejudice.
But that is no longer safe/okay to do.
Instead, let's prevent it from ever shooting itself into foot,
and let's just accumulate the instructions-to-be-deleted
in a vector, and collectively cleanup (those that are *actually* dead)
them all at the end.
All existing tests are not reporting any new garbage leftovers,
but maybe it's test coverage issue.
Summary:
It appears to be better IR-wise to aggressively scalarize it,
rather than relying on gathering it, and leaving it as-is.

Summary:
When scalarizing PHI nodes we might try to examine/rewrite
InsertElement nodes in predecessors. If those predecessors
are unreachable from entry, then the IR in those blocks could
have unexpected properties resulting in infinite loops in
Scatterer::operator[].
By simply treating values originating from instructions in
unreachable blocks as undef we do not need to analyse them
further.
This fixes PR41723.
