    Throw away an SCC on a single variable.  This seems to be justified:
    there can be no work to attribute to the current cost centre when
    evaluating a lone variable, other than the act of entering the
    closure, and possibly returning immediately if it is a variable.
    
    This also fixes a bug in profiling, which showed up as incorrect
    transformations made by the simplifier resulting in extra strictness.
    The simplifier assumes (in Simplify.simplLazyBind) that (let x = e in
    x) will have been turned into x, but this isn't true if there's an SCC
    around the x.
