Compiler:
- Add `Forward` and `Reverse` to `DifferentiabilityKind`.
- Expand `DifferentiabilityMask` in `ExtInfo` to 3 bits so that it now holds all 4 cases of `DifferentiabilityKind`.
- Parse `@differentiable(reverse)` and `@differentiable(_forward)` declaration attributes and type attributes.
- Emit a warning for `@differentiable` without `reverse`.
- Emit an error for `@differentiable(_forward)`.
- Rename `@differentiable(linear)` to `@differentiable(_linear)`.
- Make `@differentiable(reverse)` type lowering go through today's `@differentiable` code path. We will specialize it to reverse-mode in a follow-up patch.
ABI:
- Add `Forward` and `Reverse` to `FunctionMetadataDifferentiabilityKind`.
- Extend `TargetFunctionTypeFlags` by 1 bit to store the highest bit of differentiability kind (linear). Note that there is a 2-bit gap in `DifferentiabilityMask` which is reserved for `AsyncMask` and `ConcurrentMask`; `AsyncMask` is ABI-stable so we cannot change that.
_Differentiation module:
- Replace all occurrences of `@differentiable` with `@differentiable(reverse)`.
- Delete `_transpose(of:)`.

Previously, two conditions were necessary to enable differentiable programming:
- Using the `-enable-experimental-differentiable-programming` frontend flag.
- Importing the `_Differentiation` module.
Importing the `_Differentiation` module is the true condition because it
contains the required compiler-known `Differentiable` protocol. The frontend
flag is redundant and cumbersome.
Now, the frontend flag is removed.
Importing `_Differentiation` is the only condition.
The `@derivative` attribute registers a function as a derivative of another
function-like declaration: a `func`, `init`, `subscript`, or `var` computed
property declaration.
The `@derivative` attribute also has an optional `wrt:` clause specifying the
parameters that are differentiated "with respect to", i.e. the differentiation
parameters. The differentiation parameters must conform to the `Differentiable`
protocol.
If the `wrt:` clause is unspecified, the differentiation parameters are inferred
to be all parameters that conform to `Differentiable`.
`@derivative` attribute type-checking verifies that the type of the derivative
function declaration is consistent with the type of the referenced original
declaration and the differentiation parameters.
The `@derivative` attribute is gated by the
`-enable-experimental-differentiable-programming` flag.
Resolves TF-829.
Adds parsing for a type attribute `@differentiable`, which is optionally allowed to have argument `@differentiable(linear)`.
The typechecker currently rejects all uses of `@differentiable` with "error: attribute does not apply to type". Future work (https://bugs.swift.org/browse/TF-871https://bugs.swift.org/browse/TF-873) will update the typechecker to allow this attribute in places where it is allowed.
