This transform has been restricted to legal types since
https://reviews.llvm.org/rG65df808f6254617b9eee931d00e95d900610b660
in 2012.
This is particularly restrictive on RISCV64 which only has i64
as a legal integer type. i32 is a very common type in code
generated from C, but we won't form a lookup table with it.
This also effects other common types like i8/i16 types on ARM,
AArch64, RISCV, etc.
This patch proposes to allow power of 2 types larger than 8 bit, if
they will fit in the largest legal integer type in DataLayout.
These types are common in C code so generally well handled in
the backends.
We could probably do this for other types like i24 and rely on
alignment and padding to allow the backend to use a single wider
load. This isn't my main concern right now and it will need more
tests.
We could also allow larger types up to some limit and let the
backend split into multiple loads, but we need to define that
limit. It's also not my main concern right now.

These are some of the basic cases taken from X86.
We currently fail to use lookup tables on many of these cases
because SimplifyCFG requires a legal type to do the transform and
RISCV only has one legal integer type.
And that exposes that a number of tests don't *actually* manage to
maintain DomTree validity, which is inline with my observations.
Once again, SimlifyCFG pass currently does not require/preserve DomTree
by default, so this is effectively NFC.
... so just ensure that we pass DomTreeUpdater it into it.
Fixes DomTree preservation for a large number of tests,
all of which are marked as such so that they do not regress.
As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
