Description
The surroundings of the code generator have some dead code that should be pruned:
- MethodEmitter.registerReturn is unused
- CodeGenerator.enterEmptyNode is unnecessary
- BranchOptimizer has a case for a boolean UnaryNode that is not a NOT. There are no such nodes (or they're transformed to RuntimeNode earlier, e.g. the DELETE one)
- the Emitter interface is unused
