Description
`HWModule` has a `modifyPorts` method which we just added to `MSFTModule`. (It actually uses `hw::modifyPorts` since the ops are compatible in that regard.) Make all the old code use that method (or one of the two convenience ones in `HWMutableModuleLike`) instead of the old ones.

Research direction
Start by searching the CIRCT codebase for uses of the old removePorts and addPorts operations, then read HWModule, MSFTModule, and HWMutableModuleLike to understand the available replacements. Update all applicable call sites to use modifyPorts or its convenience methods, and verify that no old uses remain and the relevant tests still pass.
