The pattern
typeof(T) == typeof(Foo)
is a common way to do generic specialization in C#. Since we operate on instantiated code, we should be able to optimize this in many situations. Adding support for this in constprop.RyuJIT would already handle this, but the problem is that if we don't handle this in IL scanning, we might have expanded the whole program view graph too much and it's hard to get rid of side effects of that. The added test shows one of such examples (we introduce an extra "used" virtual slot that is impossible to get rid of after the fact).
Saves 0.5% on BasicMinimalApi.
