Remove dead parameter in value-numbering

Parameter `newVNsForPhis` of method `fgValueNumberBasicBlocks` is unused;
its presence and comment are confusing/misleading.  What actually happens
is that `fgValueNumberBlock` itself checks whether the value numbers for
incoming Phi args' SSA defs are defined yet or not.
