 (Alternative way to) address #8710

 Issue a separate warning per redundant (or inaccessible) clause.
 This way each warning can have more precice location information
 (the location of the clause under consideration and not the whole
 match).

 I thought that this could be too much but actually the number of
 such warnings is bound by the number of cases matched against (in
 contrast to the non-exhaustive warnings which may be exponentially
 more).

 Test Plan: validate
