Implement a dedicated exitfication pass #14152
The idea is described in #14152, and can be summarized: Float the exit
path out of a joinrec, so that the simplifier can do more with it.
See the test case for a nice example.
The floating goes against what the simplifier usually does, hence we
need to be careful not inline them back.
The position of exitification in the pipeline was chosen after a small
amount of experimentation, but may need to be improved. For example,
exitification can allow rewrite rules to fire, but for that it would
have to happen before the `simpl_phases`.
