Tell LLVM when a match is exhaustive
By putting an "unreachable" instruction into the default arm of a switch
instruction we can let LLVM know that the match is exhaustive, allowing
for better optimizations.
For example, this match:
```rust
pub enum Enum {
One,
Two,
Three,
}
impl Enum {
pub fn get_disc(self) -> u8 {
match self {
Enum::One => 0,
Enum::Two => 1,
Enum::Three => 2,
}
}
}
```
Currently compiles to this on x86_64:
```asm
.cfi_startproc
movzbl %dil, %ecx
cmpl $1, %ecx
setne %al
testb %cl, %cl
je .LBB0_2
incb %al
movb %al, %dil
.LBB0_2:
movb %dil, %al
retq
.Lfunc_end0:
```
But with this change we get:
```asm
.cfi_startproc
movb %dil, %al
retq
.Lfunc_end0:
```
