[PATCH/RFC] Fix ICE in find_taken_edge_computed_goto (PR 84136)

PR 84136 reports an ICE within sccvn_dom_walker when handling a
C/C++ source file that overuses the labels-as-values extension.
The code in question stores a jump label into a global, and then
jumps to it from another function, which ICEs after inlining:

void* a;

void foo() {
  if ((a = &&l))
      return;

  l:;
}

int main() {
  foo();
  goto *a;

  return 0;
}

This appears to be far beyond what we claim to support in this
extension - but we shouldn't ICE.

What's happening is that, after inlining, we have usage of a *copy*
of the label, which optimizes away the if-return logic, turning it
into an infinite loop.

On entry to the sccvn_dom_walker we have this gimple:

main ()
{
  void * a.0_1;

  <bb 2> [count: 0]:
  a = &l;

  <bb 3> [count: 0]:
l:
  a.0_1 = a;
  goto a.0_1;
}

and:
  edge taken = find_taken_edge (bb, vn_valueize (val));
reasonably valueizes the:
  goto a.0_1;
after the:
  a = &l;
  a.0_1 = a;
as if it were:
  goto *&l;

find_taken_edge_computed_goto then has:

2380	  dest = label_to_block (val);
2381	  if (dest)
2382	    {
2383	      e = find_edge (bb, dest);
2384	      gcc_assert (e != NULL);
2385	    }

which locates dest as a self-jump from block 3 back to itself.

However, the find_edge call returns NULL - it has a predecessor edge
from block 2, but no successor edges.

Hence the assertion fails and we ICE.

A successor edge from the computed goto could have been created by
make_edges if the label stmt had been in the function, but make_edges
only looks in the current function when handling computed gotos, and
the label only appeared after inlining.

The following patch removes the assertion, fixing the ICE.

Successfully bootstrapped&regrtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.

If that's option (a), there could be some other approaches:

(b) convert the assertion into a warning/error/sorry, on the
    assumption that if we don't detect such an edge then the code is
    presumably abusing the labels-as-values feature
(c) have make_edges detect such a problematic computed goto (maybe
    converting make_edges_bb's return value to an enum and adding a 4th
    value - though it's not clear what to do then with it)
(d) detect this case on inlining and handle it somehow (e.g. adding
    edges for labels that have appeared since make_edges originally
    ran, for computed gotos that have no out-edges)
(e) do nothing, keeping the assertion, and accept that this is going
    to fail on a non-release build
(f) something else?

Of the above, (d) seems to me to be the most robust solution, but I
don't know how far we want to go "down the rabbit hole" of handling
such uses of labels-as-values (beyond not ICE-ing on them).

Thoughts?
