the revive-explorer utility (#364)

A maintainable and more precise version of what was a hacky but useful
script, exploring the compilers YUL lowering unit.

It analyzes a given shared objects from the debug dump and outputs:
- The count of each YUL statement translated.
- A per YUL statement break-down of bytecode size contributed per.
- Estimated `yul-phaser` cost parameters.
