We had two code paths. One would create names like "foo.1" and the other
names like "foo1".
For globals it is important to use "foo.1" to help C++ name demangling.
For locals there is no strong reason to go one way or the other so I
kept the most common mangling (foo1).

When LowerSwitch transforms a switch instruction into a tree of ifs it
is actually performing a binary search into the various case ranges, to
see if the current value falls into one cases range of values.
So, if we have a program with something like this:
switch (a) {
case 0:
do0();
break;
case 1:
do1();
break;
case 2:
do2();
break;
default:
break;
}
the code produced is something like this:
if (a < 1) {
if (a == 0) {
do0();
}
} else {
if (a < 2) {
if (a == 1) {
do1();
}
} else {
if (a == 2) {
do2();
}
}
}
This code is inefficient because the check (a == 1) to execute do1() is
not needed.
The reason is that because we already checked that (a >= 1) initially by
checking that also (a < 2) we basically already inferred that (a == 1)
without the need of an extra basic block spawned to check if actually (a
== 1).
The patch addresses this problem by keeping track of already
checked bounds in the LowerSwitch algorithm, so that when the time
arrives to produce a Leaf Block that checks the equality with the case
value / range the algorithm can decide if that block is really needed
depending on the already checked bounds .
For example, the above with "a = 1" would work like this:
the bounds start as LB: NONE , UB: NONE
as (a < 1) is emitted the bounds for the else path become LB: 1 UB:
NONE. This happens because by failing the test (a < 1) we know that the
value "a" cannot be smaller than 1 if we enter the else branch.
After the emitting the check (a < 2) the bounds in the if branch become
LB: 1 UB: 1. This is because by checking that "a" is smaller than 2 then
the upper bound becomes 2 - 1 = 1.
When it is time to emit the leaf block for "case 1:" we notice that 1
can be squeezed exactly in between the LB and UB, which means that if we
arrived to that block there is no need to emit a block that checks if (a
== 1).

The work on this project was left in an unfinished and inconsistent state.
Hopefully someone will eventually get a chance to implement this feature, but
in the meantime, it is better to put things back the way the were. I have
left support in the bitcode reader to handle the case-range bitcode format,
so that we do not lose bitcode compatibility with the llvm 3.3 release.

LowerSwitch::Clusterify : main functinality was replaced with CRSBuilder::optimize, so big part of Clusterify's code was reduced.
test/Transform/LowerSwitch/feature.ll - this test was refactored: grep + count was replaced with FileCheck usage.

Remove && from the end of the lines to prevent tests from throwing run
lines into the background. Also, clean up places where the same command
is run multiple times by using a temporary file.
