Log:
Switch lowering: handle zero-weight branch probabilities

After r236617, branch probabilities are no longer guaranteed to be >= 1. This
patch makes the swich lowering code handle that correctly, without bumping the
branch weights by 1 which might cause overflow and skews the probabilities.

Covered by @zero_weight_tree in test/CodeGen/X86/switch.ll.
