The use of 'nocapture' for parameters and return values is incorrect for C++ types, as they can actually capture a pointer into its own value (e.g. std::string in libstdc++)

LLVM does type based analysis on sret storage types. This is a problem
with non-fixed types whose storage type does not contain the non-fixed
part.

Use the generic type lowering algorithm described in
"docs/CallingConvention.rst#physical-lowering" to map from IRGen's explosion
type to the type expected by the ABI.
Change IRGen to use the swift calling convention (swiftcc) for native swift
functions.
Use the 'swiftself' attribute on self parameters and for closures contexts.
Use the 'swifterror' parameter for swift error parameters.
Change functions in the runtime that are called as native swift functions to use
the swift calling convention.

Since that's somewhat expensive, allow the generation of meaningful
IR value names to be efficiently controlled in IRGen. By default,
enable meaningful value names only when generating .ll output.
I considered giving protocol witness tables the name T:Protocol
instead of T.Protocol, but decided that I didn't want to update that
many test cases.
And include some supplementary mangling changes:
- Give the first generic param (depth=0, index=0) a single character mangling. Even after removing the self type from method declaration types, 'Self' still shows up very frequently in protocol requirement signatures.
- Fix the mangling of generic parameter counts to elide the count when there's only one parameter at the starting depth of the mangling.
Together these carve another 154KB out of a debug standard library. There's some awkwardness in demangled strings that I'll clean up in subsequent commits; since decl types now only mangle the number of generic params at their own depth, it's context-dependent what depths those represent, which we get wrong now. Currying markers are also wrong, but since free function currying is going away, we can mangle the partial application thunks in different ways.

Canonical dependent member types are always based from a generic parameter, so we can use a more optimal mangling that assumes this. We can also introduce substitutions for AssociatedTypeDecls, and when a generic parameter in a signature is constrained by a single protocol, we can leave that protocol qualification out of the unsubstituted associated type mangling. These optimizations together shrink the standard library by 117KB, and bring the length of the longest Swift symbol in the stdlib down from 578 to 334 characters, shorter than the longest C++ symbol in the stdlib.

'Ss' appears in manglings tens of thousands of times in the standard library and is also incredibly frequent in other modules. This alone is enough to shrink the standard library by 59KB.

@inout parameters can be nocapture and dereferenceable. @in, @in_guaranteed, and indirected @direct parameters can be noalias, nocapture, and dereferenceable.

As part of this, re-arrange the argument order so that
generic arguments come before the context, which comes
before the error result. Be more consistent about always
adding a context parameter on thick functions, even
when it's unused. Pull out the witness-method Self
argument so that it appears last after the error
argument.

We have to guarantee memory safety in the presence of the user violating the
inout assumption. Claiming NoAlias for parameters that might alias is not
memory safe because LLVM will optimize based on that assumption.
Unfortunately, this means that llvm can't optimize arrays as aggressively. For
example, the load of array->buffer won't get hoisted out of loops (this is the
Sim2DArray regression below).

Most tests were using %swift or similar substitutions, which did not
include the target triple and SDK. The driver was defaulting to the
host OS. Thus, we could not run the tests when the standard library was
not built for OS X.

This is needed for tests which define internal functions which should not be eliminated.
So far this was not needed because of a hack which prevented whole-module-optimizations for tests.

Now the SILLinkage for functions and global variables is according to the swift visibility (private, internal or public).
In addition, the fact whether a function or global variable is considered as fragile, is kept in a separate flag at SIL level.
Previously the linkage was used for this (e.g. no inlining of less visible functions to more visible functions). But it had no effect,
because everything was public anyway.
For now this isFragile-flag is set for public transparent functions and for everything if a module is compiled with -sil-serialize-all,
i.e. for the stdlib.
For details see <rdar://problem/18201785> Set SILLinkage correctly and better handling of fragile functions.
The benefits of this change are:
*) Enable to eliminate unused private and internal functions
*) It should be possible now to use private in the stdlib
*) The symbol linkage is as one would expect (previously almost all symbols were public).
More details:
Specializations from fragile functions (e.g. from the stdlib) now get linkonce_odr,default
linkage instead of linkonce_odr,hidden, i.e. they have public visibility.
The reason is: if such a function is called from another fragile function (in the same module),
then it has to be visible from a third module, in case the fragile caller is inlined but not
the specialized function.
I had to update lots of test files, because many CHECK-LABEL lines include the linkage, which has changed.
The -sil-serialize-all option is now handled at SILGen and not at the Serializer.
This means that test files in sil format which are compiled with -sil-serialize-all
must have the [fragile] attribute set for all functions and globals.
The -disable-access-control option doesn't help anymore if the accessed module is not compiled
with -sil-serialize-all, because the linker will complain about unresolved symbols.
A final note: I tried to consider all the implications of this change, but it's not a low-risk change.
If you have any comments, please let me know.

Mechanically add "Type" to the end of any protocol names that don't end
in "Type," "ible," or "able." Also, drop "Type" from the end of any
associated type names, except for those of the *LiteralConvertible
protocols.
There are obvious improvements to make in some of these names, which can
be handled with separate commits.
Fixes <rdar://problem/17165920> Protocols `Integer` etc should get
uglier names.
