When precomputing fails on a child block of a parent block, there is no point
to precompute the parent, as that will fail as well.

At least, I can't think of any instruction sequence in wasm that could cause that
(see detailed comment in the code). I also fuzzed this (see second commit,
which is later reverted), and failed to find anything after a few thousand
iterations. But in theory this is not NFC if there is something that could be
optimized.

This makes --precompute on Emscripten's test_biggerswitch go from 1.44
seconds to 0.02 seconds (not a typo, that is 72x faster). The absolute number
is not that big, but we do run this pass more than once, so it saves a noticeable
chunk of time.

LGTM % clarifying the example in the comment.

This br would skip over the undo of the side effects, so I don't think this example makes sense.

Good point, fixed.
