/// The LowerXMRPass will replace every RefResolveOp with an XMR encoded within
/// a verbatim expr op. This also removes every RefType port from the modules
/// and corresponding instances. This is a dataflow analysis over a very
/// constrained RefType. Domain of the dataflow analysis is the set of all
/// RefSendOps. It computes an interprocedural reaching definitions (of
/// RefSendOp) analysis. Essentially every RefType value must be mapped to one
/// and only one RefSendOp. The analysis propagates the dataflow from every
/// RefSendOp to every value of RefType across modules. The RefResolveOp is the
/// final leaf into which the dataflow must reach.
///
/// Since there can be multiple readers, multiple RefResolveOps can be reachable
/// from a single RefSendOp. To support multiply instantiated modules and
/// multiple readers, it is essential to track the path to the RefSendOp, other
/// than just the RefSendOp. For example, if there exists a wire `xmr_wire` in
/// module `Foo`, the algorithm needs to support generating Top.Bar.Foo.xmr_wire
/// and Top.Foo.xmr_wire and Top.Zoo.Foo.xmr_wire for different instance paths
/// that exist in the circuit.
