This replaces the previous implementation with the simple variant of
Lengauer-Tarjan, which performs better in the general case. Performance on the
keccak benchmark is about equivalent between the two, but we don't see
regressions (and indeed see improvements) on other benchmarks, even on a
partially optimized implementation.
The implementation here follows that of the pseudocode in "Linear-Time
Algorithms for Dominators and Related Problems" thesis by Loukas Georgiadis. The
next few commits will optimize the implementation as suggested in the thesis.
Several related works are cited in the comments within the implementation, as
well.
Implement the simple Lengauer-Tarjan algorithm
This replaces the previous implementation (from #34169), which has not been
optimized since, with the simple variant of Lengauer-Tarjan which performs
better in the general case. A previous attempt -- not kept in commit history --
attempted a replacement with a bitset-based implementation, but this led to
regressions on perf.rust-lang.org benchmarks and equivalent wins for the keccak
benchmark, so was rejected.

On the keccak benchmark, we were previously spending 15% of our cycles computing
the NCA / intersect function; this function is quite expensive, especially on
modern CPUs, as it chases pointers on every iteration in a tight loop. With this
commit, we spend ~0.05% of our time in dominator computation.
