/// Implements an expansion pass to turn `indirectbr` instructions in the IR
/// into `switch` instructions. This works by enumerating the basic blocks in
/// a dense range of integers, replacing each `blockaddr` constant with the
/// corresponding integer constant, and then building a switch that maps from
/// the integers to the actual blocks. All of the indirectbr instructions in the
/// function are redirected to this common switch.
///
/// While this is generically useful if a target is unable to codegen
/// `indirectbr` natively, it is primarily useful when there is some desire to
/// get the builtin non-jump-table lowering of a switch even when the input
/// source contained an explicit indirect branch construct.
///
/// Note that it doesn't make any sense to enable this pass unless a target also
/// disables jump-table lowering of switches. Doing that is likely to pessimize
/// the code.
