Zero is used by BlockFrequencyInfo as a special "don't know" value. It also
causes a sink for frequencies as you can't ever get off a zero frequency with
more multiplies.
This recovers a 10% regression on MultiSource/Benchmarks/7zip. A zero frequency
was propagated into an inner loop causing excessive spilling.

and switches, with arbitrary numbers of successors. Still optimized for
the common case of 2 successors for a conditional branch.
Add a test case for switch metadata showing up in the BlockFrequencyInfo pass.

encoding of probabilities. In the absense of metadata, it continues to
fall back on static heuristics.
This allows __builtin_expect, after lowering through llvm.expect
a branch instruction's metadata, to actually enter the branch
probability model. This is one component of resolving PR2577.

layer already had support for printing the results of this analysis, but
the wiring was missing.
Now that printing the analysis works, actually bring some of this
analysis, and the BranchProbabilityInfo analysis that it wraps, under
test! I'm planning on fixing some bugs and doing other work here, so
having a nice place to add regression tests and a way to observe the
results is really useful.
