When branches target control flow structures other than blocks or loops, the IRBuilder wraps those control flow structures with an extra block for the branches to target in Binaryen IR. When the control flow structure is unreachable because all its bodies are unreachable, the wrapper block may still need to have a non-unreachable type if it is targeted by branches. This is achieved by tracking whether the wrapper block will be targeted by any branches and use the control flow structure's original, non-unreachable type if so. However, this was not properly tracked when moving into the `else` branch of an `if` or the `catch`/`cath_all` handlers of a `try` block.
