Handle nested breaks from switches. (#2624)
* Handle nested breaks from switches.

There was a recent decision made to allow branches to the merge node of
a switch even if the switch is not the first enclosing construct.  They
can be generated by glslang from break statements in switches.

Dead branch elimination seems to be the only optimization that will
break because of this change, so I will update that optimizations.

The change made are:

- Track switches in structured cfg analysis.
- In Dead branch elimination:
  - Look for nested breaks that will require a switch instruction.
  - Rewrite, but don't delete, switchs that are required even if it
    could be replaced by an unconditional branch.
  - When looking for the first break, consider the merge of a switch
    as well.

See #2612.

* Fix variable names and comments.

* Add tests for the struct cfg analysis and switches.

* Fix typos in comments.

Fix infinite loop in dead-branch-elimination (#1891)
* Create structed cfg analysis.

There are lots of optimization that have to traverse the CFG in a
structured order just because it wants to know which constructs a
basic block in contained in.  This adds extra complexity to these
optimizations, for causes too much refactoring of older optimizations.

To help with this problem, I have written an analysis that can give this
information.

* Identify branches breaking from loops.

Dead branch elimination does a search for a conditional branch to the
end of the current selection construct.  This search assumes that the
only way to leave the construct is through the merge node.  But that is
not true.  The code can jump to the merge node of a loop that contains
the construct.

The search needs to take this into consideration.
