[LVI] Constant-propagate a zero extension of the switch condition value through case edges
Summary:
LazyValueInfo currently computes the constant value of the switch condition through case edges, which allows the constant value to be propagated through the case edges.
But we have seen a case where a zero-extended value of the switch condition is used past case edges for which the constant propagation doesn't occur.
This patch adds a small logic to handle such a case in getEdgeValueLocal().
This is motivated by the Python 2.7 eval loop in PyEval_EvalFrameEx() where the lack of the constant propagation causes longer live ranges and more spill code than necessary.
With this patch, we see that the code size of PyEval_EvalFrameEx() decreases by ~5.4% and a performance test improves by ~4.6%.
