Justin Lebar 6de4957aba [XLA] Flatten tuples within while loops.
This is useful because it reduces the number of kTuple ops within the loop,
which can be expensive.  (Normally these would be removed by tuple simplifier,
but that doesn't operate across computation boundaries.)  But it's also useful
because it unlocks further optimization opportunities.  For example, it makes
it easier to remove dead loop parameters.

// - A while loop with static trip count of 0 is deleted.

//
// - Elements of a while loop's tuple that the loop doesn't use are removed
// from the tuple.
//
// - If the while loop's parameter is a nested tuple, it's flattened to a
// single-level tuple. This is good because it usually reduces the number of
// kTuple instructions, but also because it unlocks additional optimizations
// (e.g. removing unused loop parameters).
//
// Flattening nested while loop tuples adds a whole mess of likely unnecessary
// kGetTupleElement and kTuple operations to the graph. We expect that tuple
// simplifier will be run afterwards.
