[NFC] Introduce SwitchInst wrapper for prof branch_weights handling
ClosedPublic

Summary

This patch introduces a wrapper class that re-implements several mutator methods of SwitchInst to handle changes of prof branch_weights metadata along with remove/add switch case methods.
Subsequent patches will use this wrapper to implement prof branch_weights metadata handling for SwitchInst.

This patch is a redesigned way of prof branch_weights handling proposed in D60554 and D60604. It does not change contract of SwitchInst.

Nit: Perhaps name it SwitchInstProfUpdateWrapper ? The original name implies that SwitchInst does not have prof weights which is misleading.

nit: is it necessary to have 3 things doing the same thing?

Add sanity check that number of cases matches weights size?

This is a syntax sugar which allows us to minimize code changes in subsequent patches.
E.g.
SwitchInst *SI = x; is changed to SwitchInstProfBranchWeightsWrapper SI = x;
Then we can keep unchanged calls like SI->methods() or sending parameters of type SwitchInst* or SwitchInst&.
