     * Collapse a chain of "jump-only" blocks such as:
     *
     *      JUMP b1;
     *  b1: JUMP b2;
     *  b2: JUMP ... etc.
     *
     *  by re-wiring predecessors to target directly the "final destination".
     *  Even if covered by an exception handler, a "non-self-loop jump-only block" can always be removed.

     *  Returns true if any replacement was made, false otherwise.
     *
     *  In more detail:
     *    Starting at each of the entry points (m.startBlock, the start block of each exception handler)
     *    rephrase those control-flow instructions targeting a jump-only block (which jumps to a final destination D) to target D.
     *    The blocks thus skipped are also removed from IMethod.blocks.
     *
     *  Rationale for this normalization:
     *    test/files/run/private-inline.scala after -optimize is chock full of
     *    BasicBlocks containing just JUMP(whereTo), where no exception handler straddles them.
     *    They should be collapsed by IMethod.normalize() but aren't.
     *    That was fine in FJBG times when by the time the exception table was emitted,
     *    it already contained "anchored" labels (ie instruction offsets were known)
     *    and thus ranges with identical (start, end) (i.e, identical after GenJVM omitted the JUMPs in question)
     *    could be weeded out to avoid "java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal exception table range"
     *    Now that visitTryCatchBlock() must be called before Labels are resolved,
     *    this method gets rid of the BasicBlocks described above (to recap, consisting of just a JUMP).
