After #96127 landed, mshockwave reported that the pass was no longer
threading SPEC2006/perlbench.
After 96127 we started bailing out in `getStateDefMap` and rejecting the
transformation because one of the unpredictable values was coming from
inside the loop. There was no fundamental change in that function except
that we started calling `Loop->contains(IncomingBB)` instead of
`LoopBBs.count(IncomingBB)`. After some analysis I came to the
conclusion that even before 96127 we would reject the transformation if
we provided large enough limits on the path traversal (large enough so
that LoopBBs contained blocks corresponding to that unpredictable
value).
In this patch I changed `getStateDefMap` to not terminate early on
finding an unpredictable value, this is because
`getPathsFromStateDefMap`, later, actually has checks to ensure that the
final list of paths only have predictable values. As a result we can now
partially thread functions like `negative6` in the tests that have some
predictable paths.
This patch does not really have any compile-time impact on the test
suite without `-dfa-early-exit-heuristic=false` (early exit is enabled
by default).

Responding to a feature request from the Rust community:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/80630
void foo(X) {
for (...)
switch (X)
case A
X = B
case B
X = C
}
Even though the initial switch value is non-constant, the switch
statement can still be threaded: the initial value will hit the switch
statement but the rest of the state changes will proceed by jumping
unconditionally.
The early predictability check is relaxed to allow unpredictable values
anywhere, but later, after the paths through the switch statement have
been enumerated, no non-constant state values are allowed along the
paths. Any state value not along a path will be an initial switch value,
which can be safely ignored.

The current JumpThreading pass does not jump thread loops since it can
result in irreducible control flow that harms other optimizations. This
prevents switch statements inside a loop from being optimized to use
unconditional branches.
This code pattern occurs in the core_state_transition function of
Coremark. The state machine can be implemented manually with goto
statements resulting in a large runtime improvement, and this transform
makes the switch implementation match the goto version in performance.
This patch specifically targets switch statements inside a loop that
have the opportunity to be threaded. Once it identifies an opportunity,
it creates new paths that branch directly to the correct code block.
For example, the left CFG could be transformed to the right CFG:
```
sw.bb sw.bb
/ | \ / | \
case1 case2 case3 case1 case2 case3
\ | / / | \
latch.bb latch.2 latch.3 latch.1
br sw.bb / | \
sw.bb.2 sw.bb.3 sw.bb.1
br case2 br case3 br case1
```
