[SimplifyCFG] Don't use a mask for lookup tables generated from switches with an unreachable default case (#94468)

When transforming a switch with holes into a lookup table, we currently
use a mask to check if the current index is handled by the switch or if
it is a hole. If it is a hole, we skip loading from the lookup table.
Normally, if the switch's default case is unreachable this has no
impact, as the mask test gets optimized away by subsequent passes.
However, if the switch is large enough that the number of lookup table
entries exceeds the target's register width, we won't be able to fit all
the cases into a mask and the switch won't get transformed into a lookup
table. If we know that the switch's default case is unreachable, we know
that the mask is unnecessary and can skip constructing it entirely,
which allows us to transform the switch into a lookup table.

[Example](https://godbolt.org/z/7x7qfx8M1)

In the future, it might be interesting to consider allowing lookup table
masks to be more than one register large (e.g. using a constant array of
bit flags, similar to `std::bitset`).

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
