Carve out the C0 control code space as symbolic reference introducers—U+0001 through U+0017 as relative symbolic references, and U+0018 through U+001F as absolute symbolic references (if we ever need them).
Witness tables for conformances that require runtime instantiation
should not be public, because it is an error to directly reference
such a symbol from outside the module.
Use a different mangling for witness table patterns and give them
non-public linkage.
Emit enum copy/destroy methods only when codegen demands them; they previously got emitted immediately when TypeInfo is instantiated, which led to many functions getting emitted that were never used. Also, make it so that the symbol name includes the full type of the enum instance the outlined functions operate on, so it's more obvious what they'e being used for and they can be ODRed across translation units.
The allocation phase is guaranteed to succeed and just puts enough
of the structure together to make things work.
The completion phase does any component metadata lookups that are
necessary (for the superclass, fields, etc.) and performs layout;
it can fail and require restart.
Next up is to support this in the runtime; then we can start the
process of making metadata accessors actually allow incomplete
metadata to be fetched.
This is yet another waypoint on the path towards the final
generic-metadata design. The immediate goal is to make the
pattern a private implementation detail and to give the runtime
more visibility into the allocation and caching of generic types.
The key path pattern needs to include a reference to the external descriptor, along with hooks for lowering its type arguments and indices, if any. The runtime will need to instantiate and interpolate the external component when the key path object is instantiated.
While we're here, let's also reserve some more component header bytes for future expansion, since this is an ABI we're going to be living with for a while.
And use them in the reflection library (TypeRef). These were
private to `TypeRef.cpp` but can be moved to the demangler as
they can be of general use, and we can use them from lldb (which
has homemade versions of the functions as well). Bonus point,
it probably makes sense for these helpers to live in the demangler
anyway.

This makes resolving mangled names to nominal types in the same module more efficient, and for eventual secrecy improvements, also allows types in the same module to be referenced from mangled typerefs without encoding any source-level name information about them.
A "retroactive" protocol conformance is a conformance that is provided
by a module that is neither the module that defines the protocol nor
the module that defines the conforming type. It is possible for such
conformances to conflict at runtime, if defined in different modules
that were not both visible to the compiler at the same time.
When mangling a bound generic type, also mangle retroactive protocol
conformances that were needed to satisfy the generic requirements of
the generic type. This prevents name collisions between (e.g.) types
formed using retroactive conformances from different modules. The
impact on the size of the mangling is expected to be relatively small,
because most conformances are not retroactive.
Fixes the ABI part of rdar://problem/14375889.
This new format more efficiently represents existing information, while
more accurately encoding important information about nested generic
contexts with same-type and layout constraints that need to be evaluated
at runtime. It's also designed with an eye to forward- and
backward-compatible expansion for ABI stability with future Swift
versions.

Use this for the synthesized structs for error enums, as described in
the previous commit, instead of reusing the "private discriminator"
feature. I left some space in the APIs for "related entity kinds" that
are longer than a single character, but I don't actually expect to use
it any time soon. It's mostly just easier to deal with StringRef than
with a bare char.
Note that this doesn't perfectly round-trip to the old mangling; I had
it treat these nodes as private discriminators with a prefixed "$"
instead. We don't depend on that for anything, though.
This particular API can be safely used with a null-terminated string,
and is used by some clients (e.g., LLDB), so add back a "const char *"
variant that safely accesses a null-terminated string.
This makes them consistent no matter what shenanigans are pulled by
the importer, particularly NS_ENUM vs. NS_OPTIONS and NS_SWIFT_NAME.
The 'NSErrorDomain' API note /nearly/ works with this, but the
synthesized error struct is still mangled as a Swift declaration,
which means it's not rename-stable. See follow-up commits.
The main place where this still falls down is NS_STRING_ENUM: when
this is applied, a typedef is imported as a unique struct, but without
it it's just a typealias for the underlying type. There's also still a
problem with synthesized conformances, which have a module mangled
into the witness table symbol even though that symbol is linkonce_odr.

The mangled name of protocol descriptors was the “protocol composition”
type consisting of a single protocol, which is a little odd. Instead,
use a bare protocol reference (e.g., “6Module5ProtoP”) with the “$S”
prefer to be more in line with nominal type descriptor names while still
making it clear that this is a Swift (not an Objective-C) protocol.
isMangledName() was passing the data() pointer to a routine that assumed
it was getting a null-terminated string. Define away this class of error
by using StringRef consistently.
Make function mangling backward compatible based on the prefix
of the mangled symbol, which is used to distinguish between names
with old/new parameter label mangling schemes.

If function type doesn't have any parameters, there is
no need to produce a redundant 'no labels' marker for
such case, which also saves some space in mangled name.
