Using the similarity found from the IRSimilarity Identifier, we take regions with structural similarity, and deduplicate them into a separate function. The Code Extractor is able to provide most of this functionality.
For simplicity, we start by only outlining regions with a single entry and single exit branch, this reduces the complexity in handling phi nodes outside the region, and handling many sets of outputs for each of the different exit blocks.

The current IRSimilarityIdentifier does not try to find similarity across blocks, this patch provides a mechanism to compare two branches against one another, to find similarity across basic blocks, rather than just within them.
This adds a step in the similarity identification process that labels all of the basic blocks so that we can identify the relative branching locations. Within an IRSimilarityCandidate we use these relative locations to determine whether if the branching to other relative locations in the same region is the same between branches. If they are, we consider them similar.
We do not consider the relative location of the branch if the target branch is outside of the region. In this case, both branches must exit to a location outside the region, but the exact relative location does not matter.
