* [Concurrency] Reduce overhead of Task.yield and Task.sleep
Instead of creating a new task, we create a simple job that wraps a Builtin.RawUnsafeContinuation and resumes the continuation when it is executed. The job instance is allocated on the task local allocator, meaning we don't malloc anything.

Also, do this for the initial slab for the task's allocator itself.
This avoids memory allocations for async-lets.
In case the async-task's memory demand does not exceed the initial slab size, it is now completely malloc-free.
The refcount bits of an async-let task are initialized to "immortal" so that ARC operations don't have an effect on the task.
The closure does not escape the startAsyncLet - endAsyncLet scope. Even though it's (potentially) running on a different thread.
The substantial change in the runtime is to not call swift_release on the closure context if it's a non-escaping closure.
The immediate desire is to minimize the set of ABI dependencies
on the layout of an ExecutorRef. In addition to that, however,
I wanted to generally reduce the code size impact of an unsafe
continuation since it now requires accessing thread-local state,
and I wanted resumption to not have to create unnecessary type
metadata for the value type just to do the initialization.
Therefore, I've introduced a swift_continuation_init function
which handles the default initialization of a continuation
and returns a reference to the current task. I've also moved
the initialization of the normal continuation result into the
caller (out of the runtime), and I've moved the resumption-side
cmpxchg into the runtime (and prior to the task being enqueued).
Fill out the metadata for Job to have a Dispatch-compatible vtable. When available, use the dispatch_enqueue_onto_queue_4Swift to enqueue Jobs directly onto queues. Otherwise, keep using dispatch_async_f as we have been.

Throwing functions pass the error result in `swiftself` to the resume
partial function.
Therefore, `() async -> ()` to `() async throws -> ()` is not ABI compatible.
TODO: go through remaining failing IRGen async tests and replace the
illegal convert_functions.
Most of the async runtime functions have been changed to not
expect the task and executor to be passed in. When knowing the
task and executor is necessary, there are runtime functions
available to recover them.
The biggest change I had to make to a runtime function signature
was to swift_task_switch, which has been altered to expect to be
passed the context and resumption function instead of requiring
the caller to park the task. This has the pleasant consequence
of allowing the implementation to very quickly turn around when
it recognizes that the current executor is satisfactory. It does
mean that on arm64e we have to sign the continuation function
pointer as an argument and then potentially resign it when
assigning into the task's resume slot.

Create a TargetDispatchClassMetadata for Swift metadata that also has a dispatch-compatible vtable. Dispatch leaves room for ObjC class metadata so the two regions don't overlap. (The vtable currently consists of a single dummy entry; this will be filled out later.)
Rearrange the Job and AsyncTask hierarchy so that AsyncTask inherits only from Job, which in turn inherits from HeapObject. This gives all Job instances a dispatch-compatible isa field. It also gives them a refcount word, which is wasted on instances that aren't AsyncTask instances. Maybe we can find some use for that space in the future.

In their previous form, the non-`_f` variants of these entry points were unused, and IRGen
lowered the `createAsyncTask` builtins to use the `_f` variants with a large amount of caller-side
codegen to manually unpack closure values. Amid all this, it also failed to make anyone responsible
for releasing the closure context after the task completed, causing every task creation to leak.
Redo the `swift_task_create_*` entry points to accept the two words of an async closure value
directly, and unpack the closure to get its invocation entry point and initial context size
inside the runtime. (Also get rid of the non-future `swift_task_create` variant, since it's unused
and it's subtly different in a lot of hairy ways from the future forms. Better to add it later
when it's needed than to have a broken unexercised version now.)
First, just call an async -> T function instead of forcing the caller
to piece together which case we're in and perform its own copy. This
ensures that the task is actually kept alive properly.
Second, now that we no longer implicitly depend on the waiting tasks
being run synchronously, go ahead and schedule them to run on the
global executor.
This solves some problems which were blocking the work on TLS-ifying
the task/executor state.
Previously, the error stored in the async context was of type SwiftError
*. In order to enable the context to be callee released, make it
indirect and change its type to SwiftError **.

This path is not yet ABI stable so take advantage to correct the
storage. This ABI compatible on most platforms, however, is not
compatible on Windows, which is a ILLP64 platform rather than ILP64.
This extends the storage to 64-bits from 32-bits. In the process, it
avoids some warnings on the windows builds as well.
