Optimize delayed_bug handling.

Once we have emitted at least one error, delayed bugs won't be used. So
we can (a) we can (a) discard any existing delayed bugs, and (b) stop
recording any new delayed bugs.

This eliminates a longstanding `FIXME` comment. There should be no
soundness issues because it's not possible to un-emit an error.
