bpf: verifier: remove unconditional branches by 0

Browse source 
Unconditional branches by 0 instructions are basically noops
but they can result from earlier optimizations, e.g. a conditional
jumps which would never be taken or a conditional jump around
dead code.

Remove those branches.

v0.2:
 - s/opt_remove_dead_branches/opt_remove_nops/ (Jiong).
