This is a follow up to http://reviews.llvm.org/D11995 implementing the suggestion by Hans.
If we know some of the bits of the value being switched on, we know that the maximum number of unique cases covers the unknown bits. This allows to eliminate switch defaults for large integers (i32) when most bits in the value are known.
Note that I had to make the transform contingent on not having any dead cases. This is conservatively correct with the old code, but required for the new code since we might have a dead case which varies one of the known bits. Counting that towards our number of covering cases would be bad. If we do have dead cases, we'll eliminate them first, then revisit the possibly dead default.

As Sanjoy pointed out over in http://reviews.llvm.org/D11819, a switch on an icmp should always be able to become a branch instruction. This patch generalizes that notion slightly to prove that the default case of a switch is unreachable if the cases completely cover all possible bit patterns in the condition. Once that's done, the switch to branch conversion kicks in just fine.
Note: Duplicate case values are disallowed by the LangRef and verifier.
