add field types:
`x`: existential address projection, like `open_existential_addr`
`i<n>`: indexed element with constant index, like `index_addr` with an integer literal as index
`i*`: indexed element with an unknown index
The `bare` attribute indicates that the object header is not used throughout the lifetime of the value.
This means, no reference counting operations are performed on the object and its metadata is not used.
The header of bare objects doesn't need to be initialized.

Look through `upcast` and `init_existential_ref` instructions and replace the operand of this cast instruction with the original value.
For example:
```
%2 = upcast %1 : $Derived to $Base
%3 = init_existential_ref %2 : $Base : $Base, $AnyObject
checked_cast_br %3 : $AnyObject to Derived, bb1, bb2
```
This makes it more likely that the cast can be constant folded because the source operand's type is more accurate.
In the example above, the cast reduces to
```
checked_cast_br %1 : $Derived to Derived, bb1, bb2
```
which can be trivially folded to always-succeeds.
Found while looking at `_SwiftDeferredNSDictionary.bridgeValues()`
* add `UnownedRetainInst` and `UnownedReleaseInst`
* add `var value` to `RetainValueInst` and `ReleaseValueInst`
* make the protocol `UnaryInstruction` be an `Instruction`
* add `var Type.isValueTypeWithDeinit`
* add `var Type.isUnownedStorageType`
* add `var OperandArray.values`
The main change here is in IRGen which needs to be able to emit constant enum values.
Use `emitValueInjection` to create the enum constant.
Usually this method creates code in the current function.
But if all arguments to the enum are constant, the builder never has to emit an instruction.
Instead it can constant fold everything and just returns the final constant.
Also, create statically initialized let-globals as constant global (`constant` instead of `global`).
This comes up in the code for constructing an empty string literal.
With this optimization it's possible to statically initialize empty string global variables.
* add the StaticInitCloner utility
* remove bridging of `copyStaticInitializer` and `createStaticInitializer`
* add `Context.mangleOutlinedVariable` and `Context.createGlobalVariable`
* add new create-functions for instructions
* allow the Builder to build static initializer instructions for global variables
* some refactoring to simplify the implementation
* Check if the address in question is even visible from outside the function
* Return the memory effects of the called function
Also, add a new API `Instruction.memoryEffects`, which is internally used by `mayReadFromMemory` et al.
This is in preparation for wiring up debug info support for noncopyable
values. Originally this flag name made sense since it was set when we performed
consume operator checking. Now I am going to use it for noncopyable types as
well. I think the new name uses_moveable_value_debuginfo actually describes what
the flag is supposed to do, tell IRGen that the value may be moved since it
needs to use moveable value debug info emission.
A type (mostly classes) can be attributed with `@_semantics("arc.immortal")`.
ARC operations on values of such types are eliminated.
This is useful for the bridged SIL objects in the swift compiler sources.
Instead of doing the type casts and/or conformance lookup on the swift side, do it on the C++ side.
It makes a significant performance difference because `Operand.value` is a time critical function
The instance type of a metatype instruction is not necessarily a legal lowered SIL Type.
Lower the type before converting it to a SILType.
