Support for addresses with arbitrary alignment as opposed to their
element type's natural in-memory alignment.
Required for bytestream encoding/decoding without resorting to memcpy.
SIL instruction flag, documentation, printing, parsing, serialization,
and IRGen.
In practice, this interferes with FastISel and has exposed lots of latent LLVM backend bugs. Using "normal" power-of-two-bytes sized integers is easier to work with and improves code gen performance for nonoptimizing clients like Swift Playgrounds.
Having a separate address and container value returned from alloc_stack is not really needed in SIL.
Even if they differ we have both addresses available during IRGen, because a dealloc_stack is always dominated by the corresponding alloc_stack in the same function.
Although this commit quite large, most changes are trivial. The largest non-trivial change is in IRGenSIL.
This commit is a NFC regarding the generated code. Even the generated SIL is the same (except removed #0, #1 and @local_storage).
This is an internal-only affordance for the numerics team to be able to work on SIMD-compatible types. For now, it can only increase alignment of fixed-layout structs and enums; dynamic layout, classes, and other obvious extensions are left to another day when we can design a proper layout control design.
