Hang closure capture descriptors from their heap metadata
Now we can discern the types of values in heap boxes at runtime! Closure reference captures are a common way of creating reference cycles, so this provides some basic infrastructure for detecting those someday. A closure capture descriptor has the following: - The number of captures. - The number of sources of metadata reachable from the closure. This is important for substituting generics at runtime since we can't know precisely what will get captured until we observe a closure. - The number of types in the NecessaryBindings structure. This is a holding tank in a closure for sources of metadata that can't be gotten from the captured values themselves. - The metadata source map, a list of pairs, for each source of metadata for every generic argument needed to perform substitution at runtime. Key: The typeref for the generic parameter visible from the closure in the Swift source. Value: The metadata source, which describes how to crawl the heap from the closure to get to the metadata for that generic argument. - A list of typerefs for the captured values themselves. Follow-up: IRGen tests for various capture scenarios, which will include MetadataSource encoding tests. rdar://problem/24989531
