No-op Instruction analyzer (#7249)

* analyzer, tests and fixes
* error check
* gazelle
* add more asserts
* Merge branch 'master' into nop-analyzer
* Merge refs/heads/master into nop-analyzer
* fix no-op in blst package
* Merge refs/heads/master into nop-analyzer
* add assert after mutation
* mark test as TODO
* add issue number to TODO
