My goal was to reduce the size of SILLocation. It now contains only of a storage union, which is basically a pointer and a bitfield containing the Kind, StorageKind and flags. By far, most locations are only single pointers to an AST node. For the few cases where more data needs to be stored, this data is allocated separately: with the SILModule's bump pointer allocator.
While working on this, I couldn't resist to do a major refactoring to simplify the code:
* removed unused stuff
* The term "DebugLoc" was used for 3 completely different things:
- for `struct SILLocation::DebugLoc` -> renamed it to `FilePosition`
- for `hasDebugLoc()`/`getDebugSourceLoc()` -> renamed it to `hasASTNodeForDebugging()`/`getSourceLocForDebugging()`
- for `class SILDebugLocation` -> kept it as it is (though, `SILScopedLocation` would be a better name, IMO)
* made SILLocation more "functional", i.e. replaced some setters with corresponding constructors
* replaced the hand-written bitfield `KindData` with C bitfields
* updated and improved comments
This removes the ambiguity when casting from a SingleValueInstruction to SILNode, which makes the code simpler. E.g. the "isRepresentativeSILNode" logic is not needed anymore.
Also, it reduces the size of the most used instruction class - SingleValueInstruction - by one pointer.
Conceptually, SILInstruction is still a SILNode. But implementation-wise SILNode is not a base class of SILInstruction anymore.
Only the two sub-classes of SILInstruction - SingleValueInstruction and NonSingleValueInstruction - inherit from SILNode. SingleValueInstruction's SILNode is embedded into a ValueBase and its relative offset in the class is the same as in NonSingleValueInstruction (see SILNodeOffsetChecker).
This makes it possible to cast from a SILInstruction to a SILNode without knowing which SILInstruction sub-class it is.
Casting to SILNode cannot be done implicitly, but only with an LLVM `cast` or with SILInstruction::asSILNode(). But this is a rare case anyway.

LLVM, as of 77e0e9e17daf0865620abcd41f692ab0642367c4, now builds with
-Wsuggest-override. Let's clean up the swift sources rather than disable
the warning locally.
Print the SIL function body on an assert. Recovering the SIL code is the
critical path for pretty much any SIL development. The only alternative is
rebuilding the library with string matching or building a debug compiler and
hoping lldb works. The standard library takes a very long time to build with a
debug compiler.
