> The current `BytecodeGenerator` implementation assumes that code models have already been lowered before generation. Both `SwitchExpressionOp` and `SwitchStatementOp` with all-constant labels are examples of operations that can be lowered an alternative way, allowing `BytecodeGenerator` to produce more efficient bytecode using `tableswitch` and `lookupswitch` instructions.
>
> The proposed change shifts the responsibility for lowering these operations into the `BytecodeGenerator` itself, enabling selective lowering during bytecode generation. Consequently, `OpBuilder` and `BytecodeGenerator` tests have been updated to avoid invoking the lower transformation step before the `BytecodeGenerator` is called.
>
> A new internal operation, `ConstantLabelSwitchOp`, has been introduced. This acts as an intermediate representation for lowered `SwitchExpressionOp` and `SwitchStatementOp` instances with constant labels.
>
> Lowering of `SwitchExpressionOp` and `SwitchStatementOp` into `ConstantLabelSwitchOp` is also a part of this PR.
>
> This PR also makes minor refinements to the BytecodeGenerator post-processing transformations.
