This adds a new ControlFlowOptimizer that - for now - recognizes chains
of Branches generated by the SwitchBuilder for a subset of javascript
switches into Switch nodes. Those Switch nodes are then lowered to
either table or lookup switches.
Also rename Case to IfValue (and introduce IfDefault) for consistency.

Adds Switch and Case operators to TurboFan and handles them
appropriately in instruction selection and code generation.

Up until now we used a special Terminate node to artifically connect non
terminating loops to the End node, but this was kind of adhoc and didn't
work for the CFG. So without all kinds of weird hacks, the end block in
the CFG will not be connected to NTLs, which makes it impossible to
compute post dominance / control dependence in the current setting.
So instead of Terminate, we add a special Branch to NTLs, whose
condition is the special Always node, which corresponds to True, except
that it cannot be folded away. This way we don't need any special
machinery in the scheduler, since it's just a regular Branch.

Branch can now have an optional hint, when the condition is
likely true or false, and if such a hint is present the other
basic block will be marked as deferred and placed at the end
of the function.
We currently use this feature for tagging int32/uint32 in
change lowering, and for load/store bounds checks in simplified
lowering.
