Chad Rosier 8e25cd02db [JumpThreading] Don't restrict cast-traversal to i1
In r263618, JumpThreading learned to look trough simple cast instructions, but
only if the source of those cast instructions was a phi/cmp i1 (in an effort to
limit compile time effects). I think this condition is too restrictive. For
switches with limited value range, InstCombine will readily introduce an extra
trunc instruction to a smaller integer type (e.g. from i8 to i2), leaving us in
the somewhat perverse situation that jump-threading would work before running
instcombine, but not after. Since instcombine produces this pattern, I think we
need to consider it canonical and support it in JumpThreading.  In general,
for limiting recursion, I think the existing restriction to phi and cmp nodes
should be sufficient to avoid looking through unprofitable chains of
instructions.
