We have an existing optimization that recognizes
memory moves of the form A -> B -> C and converts
them into A -> C, in the hopes that the store to
B will be end up being dead and thus eliminated.
However, when A, B, and C are large types,
the front end sometimes emits VarDef ops for the moves.
This change adds an optimization to match that pattern.
This required changing an old compiler test.
The test assumed that a temporary was required
to deal with a large return value.
With this optimization in place, that temporary
ended up being eliminated.

The stack frame includes the callee args section. At the point where
we were checking the frame size, that part of the frame had not been
computed yet. Move the check later so we can include the callee args size.
