Improve the simple optimiser
The previous version of the simple optimiser would leave beta-redexes, which was bad for join points. E.g. join j x = .... -- a join point in (\x. j x) y This would be ok if we beta-reduced the (\x) but not if we don't. This patch improves the simple optimiser, to follow the plan described in "Secrets of the GHC inliner", and implemented in the Mighty Simplifier. It turns out not to be too hard to use the same plan here, and we get slightly better code as a result.
