Lifetime sinking is broken because it ignores initializations via back-edges.
And optimizations baased on the lifetime intrinsic is broken because it ignores certain escapes.

It does not handle loops correctly i.e it moves the lifetime.start
intrinsic into a loop rendering the stack object as not alive for part
of the loop.

```
  entry:
    %obj = alloca i8
    lifetime.start(%obj)

    br loop

  loop:
    coro.suspend()
    escape(%obj)
    cond_br %cond, label %exit, label loop

    br loop

  exit:
    lifetime.end(%obj

```

After sinking:

```
  entry:
    %obj = alloca i8
    br loop

  loop:
    coro.suspend()
    lifetime.start(%obj)
    escape(%obj)
    cond_br %cond, label %exit, label loop

    br loop

  exit:
    lifetime.end(%obj

```

Infinite loops can lead to an IR representation where the lifetime.end
intrinsice is missing. The code to do lifetime based optimization then
fails to see that an address escapes (is life) accross a supspend.

Eventually, we could detect such situations and disable it under more narrow
circumstances. For now, do the correct thing.
