Disable liveness "dead" instruction by default. The liveness instruction take up about 10% of the bytecode bloat file. It is not very useful, it is duplicate information can be obtain from the def/user chain. This change disable the liveness instruction by default. The caller can track_pseudo_death() if needed.
