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.
