[Dominators] Remove the NCA check

Summary

This patch removes the verifyNCD check.

The reason for this is that the other checks are sufficient to prove or disprove correctness of any DominatorTree, and that verifyNCD doesn't provide (in my option) better error messages then the other ones.
Additionally, this should give a (small) improvement to the total verification time, as the check is O(n), and checking the sibling property takes O(n^3).

When working on JumpThreading I never saw a failure due to NCD verification so I think you're intuition about other checks makes sense.
