Two simplifications that will be needed to deal with @zoep's issues regarding initcode equivalence

 - Multiple solutions are allowed for a single symbolic expression
 - Aliasing works much better for symbolic and concrete addresses
 - Constant propagation for symbolic values
+- One more simplification rule for `ReadByte` when the `CopySlice` after it
+  is writing after the position being read, so the `CopySlice` can be ignored
 
 ## Fixed
 - We now try to simplify expressions fully before trying to cast them to a concrete value
