Closes #1924 (closed)
This MR implements the algorithm from the paper "Compiling Pattern Matching to Good Decision Trees" for pattern matching compiler.
This algorithm performs better than the previous one in the cases when there are nested pattens in a match expression coupled with wildcards in between.
In some cases we can see more than 80% reduction in code size (compared to the old algorthim).
This algorithm simpler to implement and this also removes the pattern simplification pass (pattern_simpl.ml) which was needed by the old algorithm for compressing the matches. The new algorithm generates smaller automaton/match so there is not need for simplification/compression.

We implement a new algorithm for the pattern-matching compiler which reduces the size of generated code in some cases.
In some cases we observed upto 80% reduction in generated code.
