Summary
Fixes #12562
Details and comments
This PR collects and consolidates two-qubit gates into blocks before routing. Each block is then subsequently analysed to determine whether the two-qubit unitary representing the block equals the identity or is a product of single-qubit gates. In the former case, the gates in the block are removed and in the latter case the block is replaced by single-qubit gates correspondingly.
