The first variant contains all current transformations except
transforming switches into lookup tables. The second variant
contains all current transformations.
The switch-to-lookup-table conversion results in code that is more
difficult to analyze and optimize by other passes. Most importantly,
it can inhibit Dead Code Elimination. As such it is often beneficial to
only apply this transformation very late. A common example is inlining,
which can often result in range restrictions for the switch expression.
Changes in execution time according to LNT:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/fp-convert +3.03%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/ASC_Sequoia/CrystalMk/CrystalMk -11.20%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/Olden/perimeter/perimeter -10.43%
and a couple of smaller changes. For perimeter it also results 2.6%
a smaller binary.

One optimization simplify-cfg performs is the converting of switches to
lookup tables if the switch has > 4 cases. This is done by:
1. Finding the max/min case value and calculating the switch case range.
2. Create a lookup table basic block.
3. Perform a check in the switch's BB to see if the input value is in
the switch's case range. If the input value satisfies said predicate
branch to the lookup table BB, otherwise branch to the switch's default
destination BB using the default value as the result.
The conditional check consists of subtracting the min case value of the
table from any input iN value and then ensuring that said value is
unsigned less than the size of the lookup table represented as an iN
value.
If the lookup table is a covered lookup table, the size of the table will be N
which is 0 as an iN value. Thus the comparison will be an `icmp ult` of an iN
value against 0 which is always false yielding the incorrect result.
This patch fixes this problem by recognizing if we have a covered lookup table
and if we do, unconditionally jumps to the lookup table BB since the covering
property of the lookup table implies no input values could not be handled by
said BB.
