[fpc-devel] Peephole optimizer tai class change proposals

[J. Gareth Moreton]

Just made some more additions, this time introducing some fundamental 
extra optimisation information classes that I can see myself using right 
off the bat.

https://gitlab.com/CuriousKit/optimisations/-/compare/main...opt-info-list?from_project_id=29565238

I plan to use the tai one for pointing jumps to labels, a simple Boolean 
one for flagging potential label removals in some optimisations that may 
be difficult to justify without such information (see some of my 
previous e-mails) and the Register/value pair for tracking known 
register values.
