Since IRBuilder already knows what labels are used by branches, it is easy for it to pass that information when finalizing blocks. This avoids finalization having to walk the blocks looking for branches, speeding up a future version of the binary parser that uses IRBuilder by 10%.
IRBuilder often has to generate new label names for blocks and other scopes. Previously it would generate each new name by starting with "block" or "label" and incrementing a suffix until finding a fresh name, but this made name generation quadratic in the number of names to generate. To spend less time generating names, track a hint index at which to start looking for a fresh name and increment it every time a name is generated. This speeds up a version of the binary parser that uses IRBuilder by about 15%.
