Simplify branches with true or false conditions

[steffenenders]

Proposal

This is a follow-up issue from #59 .

if a condition is false, then we can simply remove the true branch and execute always the false branch, i.e., we can substitute the condition node with the false branch. Symmetrically, one would replace each condition node with condition true by its true branch. But, in cases like this where the condition should not be false, we may lose content we do not want to lose.

Approach

No response

Discussed to be implemented inside the CodeGenerator and not directly on the AST in earlier stages. There will be a config option since we are "deleting" code with this.
