[SimplifyCFG] Use known bits to eliminate dead switch defaults

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.
