Shimin Cui 531fd45e92 [PPC] Set minimum of largest number of comparisons to use bit test for switch lowering (#155910) ...

Currently it is considered suitable to lower to a bit test for a set of
switch case clusters when the the number of unique destinations
(`NumDests`) and the number of total comparisons (`NumCmps`) satisfy:
`(NumDests == 1 && NumCmps >= 3) || (NumDests == 2 && NumCmps >= 5) ||
(NumDests == 3 && NumCmps >= 6)`

However it is found for some cases on powerpc, for example, when
NumDests is 3, and the number of comparisons for each destination is all
2, it's not profitable to lower the switch to bit test. This is to add
an option to set the minimum of largest number of comparisons to use bit
test for switch lowering.
