[SimplifyCFG] Don't SimplifyBranchOnICmpChain with ExtraCase

Summary:
Here we try to avoid issues with "explicit branch" with SimplifyBranchOnICmpChain
which can check on undef. Msan by design reports branches on uninitialized
memory and undefs, so we have false report here.

In general msan does not like when we convert

```
// If at least one of them is true we can MSAN is ok if another is undefs
if (a || b)
  return;
```
into
```
// If 'a' is undef MSAN will complain even if 'b' is true
if (a)
  return;
if (b)
  return;
```

Example

Before optimization we had something like this:
```
while (true) {
  bool maybe_undef = doStuff();

  while (true) {
    char c = getChar();
    if (c != 10 && c != 13)
     continue
    break;
  }

  // we know that c == 10 || c == 13 if we get here,
  // so msan know that branch is not affected by maybe_undef
  if (maybe_undef || c == 10 || c == 13)
    continue;
  return;
}
```

SimplifyBranchOnICmpChain will convert that into
```
while (true) {
  bool maybe_undef = doStuff();

  while (true) {
    char c = getChar();
    if (c != 10 && c != 13)
      continue;
    break;
  }

  // however msan will complain here:
  if (maybe_undef)
    continue;

  // we know that c == 10 || c == 13, so either way we will get continue
  switch(c) {
    case 10: continue;
    case 13: continue;
  }
  return;
}
```
