SimplifyCFG: Enable switch replacements in more cases (#156477)

In some cases, we can replace a switch with simpler instructions or a
lookup table.
For instance, if every case results in the same value, we can simply
replace the switch
with that single value.

However, lookup tables are not always supported. 
Targets, function attributes and compiler options can deactivate lookup
table creation.
Currently, even simpler switch replacements like the single value
optimization do not
get applied, because we only enable these transformations if lookup
tables are enabled.

This PR enables the other kinds of replacements, even if lookup tables
are not supported.
First, it checks if the potential replacements are lookup tables.
If they are, then check if lookup tables are supported and whether to
continue.
If they are not, then we can apply the other transformations.

Originally, lookup table creation was delayed until late stages of the
compilation pipeline, because
it can result in difficult-to-analyze code and prevent other
optimizations.
As a side effect of this change, we can also enable the simpler
optimizations much earlier in the
compilation process.

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
