By propagating the value for the switch condition, LLVM can now build
lookup tables for code such as:
switch (x) {
case 1: return 5;
case 2: return 42;
case 3: case 4: case 5:
return x - 123;
default:
return 123;
}
Given that x is known for each case, "x - 123" becomes a constant for
cases 3, 4, and 5.

The isValueEqualityComparison() guard at the top of SimplifySwitch()
only applies to some of the possible transformations.
The newer transformations work just fine on large switches, and the
check on predecessor count is nonsensical.

If the width is very large it gets truncated from uint64_t to uint32_t when
passed to TD->fitsInLegalInteger. The truncated value can fit in a register.
This manifested in massive memory usage or crashes (PR13946).

- Put statistics in alphabetical order
- Don't use getZextValue when building TableInt, just use APInts
- Introduce Create{Z,S}ExtOrTrunc in IRBuilder.

tables in bitmaps when they fit in a target-legal register.
This saves some space, and it also allows for building tables that would
otherwise be deemed too sparse.
One interesting case that this hits is example 7 from
http://blog.regehr.org/archives/320. We currently generate good code
for this when lowering the switch to the selection DAG: we build a
bitmask to decide whether to jump to one block or the other. My patch
will result in the same bitmask, but it removes the need for the jump,
as the return value can just be retrieved from the mask.

two variables where the first variable is returned and the second
ignored.
I don't think this occurs in practice (other passes should have cleaned
up the unused phi node), but it should still be handled correctly.
Also make the logic for determining if we should return early less
sketchy.

The lookup tables did not get built in a deterministic order.
This makes them get built in the order that the corresponding phi nodes
were found.

This adds a transformation to SimplifyCFG that attemps to turn switch
instructions into loads from lookup tables. It works on switches that
are only used to initialize one or more phi nodes in a common successor
basic block, for example:
int f(int x) {
switch (x) {
case 0: return 5;
case 1: return 4;
case 2: return -2;
case 5: return 7;
case 6: return 9;
default: return 42;
}
This speeds up the code by removing the hard-to-predict jump, and
reduces code size by removing the code for the jump targets.
