This fixes a `copy constructor must pass its first argument by reference` compilation error when compiled with a recent enough Clang (after fe0d3e3764)
Use exports, not symbols, when emitting a pointer target. Exports are what the linker can actually work with.
When searching for a nearby export to use for a pointer target, accept anything within the same segment, not just the same section. Only segments can be rearranged relative to each other, not sections within a segment, so this is safe and allows for more possible targets.
Disallow pointer targets with no export within the same segment. We attempted to emit a target that's relative to the section starting point in this case, but that didn't work. We'll revisit if it looks useful to do so.
In order to make this work, we resolve the export when writing a pointer instead of when emitting JSON, and make the writePointer functions failable. If writePointer fails, we'll fail to build the metadata and skip it.
Correctly handle the case where the names JSON contains a metadata we already constructed as part of a prior name. Previously we'd emit it twice, now it checks to see if it's already been built and do nothing in that case. Also save errors when a metadata can't be built, so subsequent attempts to build it can fail immediately.
When emitting fixups with ptrauth attributes, use the correct target kind "arm64_auth_ptr".
Fix the VerifyExternalMetadata.swift test not to load an arm64e runtime slice when testing arm64. That's normally fine, but we depend on loading the exact same dylib that we built prespecializations for.

We run the builder, then use a small program that converts the JSON output into C code that generates the data. Compile that into a bundle, then load it as the prespecializations library. Then scan all the entries in the table and compare them with what the runtime builds dynamically.
This library uses GenericMetadataBuilder with a ReaderWriter that can read data and resolve pointers from MachO files, and emit a JSON representation of a dylib containing the built metadata.
We use LLVM's binary file readers to parse the MachO files and resolve fixups so we can follow pointers. This code is somewhat MachO specific, but could be generalized to other formats that LLVM supports.

Create a version of the metadata specialization code which is abstracted so that it can work in different contexts, such as building specialized metadata from dylibs on disk rather than from inside a running process.
The GenericMetadataBuilder class is templatized on a ReaderWriter. The ReaderWriter abstracts out everything that's different between in-process and external construction of this data. Instead of reading and writing pointers directly, the builder calls the ReaderWriter to resolve and write pointers. The ReaderWriter also handles symbol lookups and looking up other Swift types by name.
This is accompanied by a simple implementation of the ReaderWriter which works in-process. The abstracted calls to resolve and write pointers are implemented using standard pointer dereferencing.
A new SWIFT_DEBUG_VALIDATE_EXTERNAL_GENERIC_METADATA_BUILDER environment variable uses the in-process ReaderWriter to validate the builder by running it in parallel with the existing metadata builder code in the runtime. When enabled, the GenericMetadataBuilder is used to build a second copy of metadata built by the runtime, and the two are compared to ensure that they match. When this environment variable is not set, the new builder code is inactive.
The builder is incomplete, and this initial version only works on structs. Any unsupported type produces an error, and skips the validation.
