/**
 * Simplifies several control-flow structures:
 * - replace if with empty body with pop(condition)
 * - remove empty default switch case
 * - remove empty switch case if no default case exists
 * - replace switch with no cases with pop(expression)
 * - turn switch with single case into if
 * - replace switch with only default case with pop(expression) and body
 * - replace switch with const expr with matching case body
 * - replace ``for`` with terminating control flow and without other break/continue by ``if``
 * - remove ``leave`` at the end of a function.
 *
 * None of these operations depend on the data flow. The StructuralSimplifier
 * performs similar tasks that do depend on data flow.
 *
 * The ControlFlowSimplifier does record the presence or absence of ``break``
 * and ``continue`` statements during its traversal.
 *
 * Prerequisite: Disambiguator, FunctionHoister, ForLoopInitRewriter.
 *
 * Important: Introduces EVM opcodes and thus can only be used on EVM code for now.
