Description

Once https://github.com/llvm/circt/pull/2506 is merged, it is better to replace MuxPrimOp with MultibitMuxOp and remove MuxPrimOp because they are redundant operations. At least, it is necessary to modify inferResets, inferWidths and FIREmitter.

Research direction

Start by reviewing llvm/circt/pull/2506, then locate inferResets, inferWidths, and FIREmitter in the FIRRTL implementation. Trace where MuxPrimOp is defined and used, and confirm that the completed change removes the redundant operation in favor of MultibitMuxOp across those areas.
