Jakob Stoklund Olesen 58e9ee85fd Teach SimplifyCFG about magic pointer constants.
Weird code sometimes uses pointer constants other than null. This patch
teaches SimplifyCFG to build switch instructions in those cases.

Code like this:

void f(const char *x) {
  if (!x)
    puts("null");
  else if ((uintptr_t)x == 1)
    puts("one");
  else if (x == (char*)2 || x == (char*)3)
    puts("two");
  else if ((intptr_t)x == 4)
    puts("four");
  else
    puts(x);
}

Now becomes a switch:

define void @f(i8* %x) nounwind ssp {
entry:
  %magicptr23 = ptrtoint i8* %x to i64            ; <i64> [#uses=1]
  switch i64 %magicptr23, label %if.else16 [
    i64 0, label %if.then
    i64 1, label %if.then2
    i64 2, label %if.then9
    i64 3, label %if.then9
    i64 4, label %if.then14
  ]

Note that LLVM's own DenseMap uses magic pointers.
