This adds an initial phase to shrinking that is allowed to make changes that would be bad to make as part of the main shrink pass, with the main goal of producing better results for
one_of
.This isn't as good a pass for this as I wanted to add. In particular it results in no new guarantees about shrinking, because we can't iterate this pass to a fixed point along with the others, but it should start the shrinking off from something that is much more likely to already be the minimal usable branch for this strategy.
When trying to add a more reliable pass I kept running into issues that I think will be easier to solve after we've made some of the discussed changes and generally fully moved over to the new IR.
