Marcello Maggioni 5c98f14b78 Two case switch to select optimization
This optimization tries to convert switch instructions that are used to select a value with only 2 unique cases + default block
to a select or a couple of selects (depending if the default block is reachable or not).

The typical case this optimization wants to be able to optimize is this one:

Example:
switch (a) {
  case 10:                %0 = icmp eq i32 %a, 10
    return 10;            %1 = select i1 %0, i32 10, i32 4
  case 20:        ---->   %2 = icmp eq i32 %a, 20
    return 2;             %3 = select i1 %2, i32 2, i32 %1
  default:
    return 4;
}

It also sets the base for further optimizations that are planned and being reviewed.
