Use the result of GraphUtil.arrayLength and ArrayLengthProvider.findLength to replace the explicit load of the array length with a node that does not involve a memory access of the array length. Values that are defined inside a loop and flow out the loop need to be proxied by ValueProxyNode. When this mode is used, new necessary proxy nodes are created base on the proxies that were found while traversing the path to the length node. In addition, new phi nodes can be created. The caller is responsible for adding these nodes to the graph, i.e., the return value can be a node that is not yet added to the graph.
