Add Note [Dead case binders in -O0]
After reverting Phab:D5358, Simon (Peyton Jones) asked for a Note
summarising why we want to keep the dead case binder check in `cgCase`.
Summary from mail conversation:
* Phab:D5324 means that we no longer /recompute/ dead-ness of case-binders in
STG-land
* But TidyPgm preserves dead-ness info (see CoreTidy.tidyIdBndr)
* And so we can take advantage of it to avoid a redundant load. This load
would be eliminated by CmmSink, but that only happens with -O
