If there is no read from an indirect argument, this argument has to be dropped.
At the call site the store to the argument's memory location could have been removed (based on the callee's memory effects).
Therefore, converting such an unused indirect argument to a direct argument, would load an uninitialized value at the call site.
This would lead to verifier errors and in worst case to a miscompile because IRGen can implicitly use dead arguments, e.g. for getting the type of a class reference.
In case of cross-module-optimizations it can happen that a private global variable is changed to public,
but it's declaration is not available in the module file.
* rename the CrossModuleSerializationSetup pass to simply CrossModuleOptimization
* remove the CMO specific serializer pass. Instead run the CrossModuleSerializationSetup pass directly before the standard serializer pass.
* correctly handle shared functions (e.g. specializations)
* refactoring
Referenced functions within the initializer of a SILGlobalVariable must be handled like referenced functions in other functions.
Fixes an assert crash when compiling with -cross-module-optimization
The check for implementationOnly imports was already done for types, but it was missing for functions.
Fixes a crash when implementationOnly-importing a C module.

If a function uses a type imported as implementationOnly (or similar), it cannot be serialized.
I added a new API in ModuleDecl (canBeUsedForCrossModuleOptimization), which performs this check.

* Include small non-generic functions for serializaion
* serialize initializer of global variables: so that global let variables can be constant propagated across modules

Otherwise it can happen that e.g. specialization runs between CrossModuleSerializationSetup and serialization, resulting that an inlinable function references a shared function (which doesn't have a public linkage).
The solution is to move serialization right after CrossModuleSerializationSetup. But only do that if cross-module-optimization is enabled (it would be a disruptive change to move serialization in general).
In order for the cross-module optimization to work, it needs to generate
symbolic references, which were disabled in PE/COFF. This commit enables
them and marks some Reflection tests with XFAIL since
swift-reflection-dump still doesn't handle symbolic references.
This is a first version of cross module optimization (CMO).
The basic idea for CMO is to use the existing library evolution compiler features, but in an automated way. A new SIL module pass "annotates" functions and types with @inlinable and @usableFromInline. This results in functions being serialized into the swiftmodule file and thus available for optimizations in client modules.
The annotation is done with a worklist-algorithm, starting from public functions and continuing with entities which are used from already selected functions. A heuristic performs a preselection on which functions to consider - currently just generic functions are selected.
The serializer then writes annotated functions (including function bodies) into the swiftmodule file of the compiled module. Client modules are able to de-serialize such functions from their imported modules and use them for optimiations, like generic specialization.
The optimization is gated by a new compiler option -cross-module-optimization (also available in the swift driver).
By default this option is off. Without turning the option on, this change is (almost) a NFC.
