This instruction converts Builtin.ImplicitActor to Optional<any Actor>. In the
process of doing so, it masks out the bits we may have stolen from the witness
table pointer of Builtin.ImplicitActor. The bits that we mask out are the bottom
two bits of the top nibble of the TBI space on platforms that support TBI (that
is bit 60,61 on arm64). On platforms that do not support TBI, we just use the
bottom two tagged pointer bits (0,1).
By using an instruction, we avoid having to represent the bitmasking that we are
performing at the SIL level and can instead just make the emission of the
bitmasking an IRGen detail. It also allows us to move detection if we are
compiling for AArch64 to be an IRGen flag instead of a LangOpts flag.
The instruction is a guaranteed forwarding instruction since we want to treat
its result as a borrowed projection from the Builtin.ImplicitActor.
Based on what I see from OwnershipModelEliminator,
`%x = load [copy] %y` can turn into a plain load
followed by a retain of the loaded value.

When extending a coroutine, handle the end_borrow instruction used to end a
coroutine lifetime at a dead-end block.
Fixes rdar://153479358 (Compiler crash when force-unwrapping optional ~Copyable type)
It derives the address of the first element of a vector, i.e. a `Builtin.FixedArray`, from the address of the vector itself.
Addresses of other vector elements can then be derived with `index_addr`.
When performing a dynamic cast to an existential type that satisfies
(Metatype)Sendable, it is unsafe to allow isolated conformances of any
kind to satisfy protocol requirements for the existential. Identify
these cases and mark the corresponding cast instructions with a new flag,
`[prohibit_isolated_conformances]` that will be used to indicate to the
runtime that isolated conformances need to be rejected.
The problem with `is_escaping_closure` was that it didn't consume its operand and therefore reference count checks were unreliable.
For example, copy-propagation could break it.
As this instruction was always used together with an immediately following `destroy_value` of the closure, it makes sense to combine both into a `destroy_not_escaped_closure`.
It
1. checks the reference count and returns true if it is 1
2. consumes and destroys the operand
This is used for synthetic uses like _ = x that do not act as a true use but
instead only suppress unused variable warnings. This patch just adds the
instruction.
Eventually, we can use it to move the unused variable warning from Sema to SIL
slimmming the type checker down a little bit... but for now I am using it so
that other diagnostic passes can have a SIL instruction (with SIL location) so
that we can emit diagnostics on code like _ = x. Today we just do not emit
anything at all for that case so a diagnostic SIL pass would not see any
instruction that it could emit a diagnostic upon. In the next patch of this
series, I am going to add SILGen support to do that.
With a focus on updating the documentation of Ownership SSA.
The main changes are:
* Created a new directory `docs/SIL` and moved all SIL-related files into this directory.
* Converted `rst` files to markdown.
* Extracted sections from `SIL.md` which go into very much detail - including the instruction reference - into separate files: `Types.md`, `Ownership.md`, `FunctionAttributes.md`, `Instructions.md`. Those files are referenced from `SIL.md` at the relevant places.
* Rewrote and updated the OSSA part in `SIL.md`
* Removed a few sections, which are not relevant anymore, like "Value dependency" (which is replaced by ownership concepts).
* Fixed and improved a lot of small things.
