Thomas Lively f99d5f8c32 [WebAssembly] Eliminate range checks on br_tables ...

Summary:
Jump tables for most targets cannot handle out of range indices by
themselves, so LLVM emits range checks to guard the jump
tables. WebAssembly, on the other hand, implements jump tables using
the br_table instruction, which takes a default branch target as an
operand, making the range checks redundant. This patch introduces a
new MachineFunction pass in the WebAssembly backend to find and
eliminate the redundant range checks.
