Reduces the number of _ContiguousArrayStorage metadata.
In order to support constant time bridging we do need to set the correct
metadata when we bridge to Objective-C. This is so that the type check
succeeds when bridging back from Objective-C to reuse the storage
instance rather than bridging the elements.
To support dynamically setting the `_ContiguousArrayStorage` element
type i needed to add support for optimizing `alloc_ref_dynamic`
throughout the optimizer.
Possible future improvements:
* Use different metadata such that we can disambiguate native Swift
classes during destruction -- allowing native release rather then unknown
release usage.
* Optimize the newly added semantic function

Store a list of argument effects in a function, which specify if and how arguments escape.
Such effects can be specified in the Swift source code (for details see docs/ReferenceGuides/UnderscoredAttributes.md) or derived in an optimization pass.
For details see the documentation in SwiftCompilerSources/Sources/SIL/Effects.swift.
The `SmallProjectionPath` represents a path of value or address projections.
It’s used for defining argument effects for functions and for the new escape analysis.
The `run-unit-tests` is a "pseudo" pass which is invoked from sil-opt and runs all the unit tests, implemented in Swift.
This is done from the `swift-unit-tests.sil` lit test.
For inserting new instruction after another instruction. This is especially interesting if the insertion point is a terminator.
In this case, the new instruction(s) are inserted in the successor block(s).
* add `BasicBlockSet`
* add `BasicBlockWorklist`
* add `BasicBlockRange`, which defines a range of blocks from a common dominating “begin” block to a set of “end” blocks.
* add `InstructionRange`, which is similar to `BasicBlockRange`, just on instruction level. It can be used for value lifetime analysis.
* rename `StackList` -> `Stack` and move it to `Optimizer/DataStructures`
* rename `PassContext.passContext` to `PassContext._bridged`
* add notify-functions to PassContext
Improve block/instruction lists and similar collections
* pretty print collections in the form “[a, b, c]”
* also do this for lazy sequences
* define a custom Mirror
* in a collection, only print the name of blocks, functions and globals (instead of the full object)
* replace `BasicBlock.reverseInstructions` with `BasicBlock.instructions.reversed()` - in an efficient way
Introduce a new instruction `dealloc_stack_ref ` and remove the `stack` flag from `dealloc_ref`.
The `dealloc_ref [stack]` was confusing, because all it does is to mark the deallocation of the stack space for a stack promoted object.
