This allows programs to target older OSes while using Concurrency behind an availability check. When targeting older OSes, the symbols are weak-linked and the compiler will require the use of Concurrency features to be guarded by an availability check.

The immediate desire is to minimize the set of ABI dependencies
on the layout of an ExecutorRef. In addition to that, however,
I wanted to generally reduce the code size impact of an unsafe
continuation since it now requires accessing thread-local state,
and I wanted resumption to not have to create unnecessary type
metadata for the value type just to do the initialization.
Therefore, I've introduced a swift_continuation_init function
which handles the default initialization of a continuation
and returns a reference to the current task. I've also moved
the initialization of the normal continuation result into the
caller (out of the runtime), and I've moved the resumption-side
cmpxchg into the runtime (and prior to the task being enqueued).
The goal of doing this is to reduce the amount of boilerplate and repeated code w.r.t. Continuation. Having just added `resume()` in four places, I got the sense that there was a lot of common code that was being duplicated. I removed the Throwing variants of these types (they can be expressed as Continuation<T, E:Error> instead of ThrowingContinuation<E>) and I broke out a significant amount of common code between CheckedContinuation and UnsafeContinuation into an implementation-only protocol to avoid repeating it. D.R.Y.
This change resolves rdar://74154769.
This change implements the changes proposed in swift-evolution PR #1264.
Existing test coverage should be sufficient here since the added function
simply calls into the existing `resume(returning:)` function.

The `try await` ordering is both easier to read and indicates the order
of operations better, because the suspension point occurs first and
then one can observe a thrown error.
We somehow ended up with a set hidden in `Task` as well as a set at top level. SILGen currently
hooks into the top-level ones, so shed the `Task`-namespaced versions for now.
`get_async_continuation[_addr]` begins a suspend operation by accessing the continuation value that can resume
the task, which can then be used in a callback or event handler before executing `await_async_continuation` to
suspend the task.
The experimental concurrency model will require a supporting runtime
and possibly end-user-visible library constructs. Introduce a stub of
such a library, enabled by a new `build-script` option
`--enable-experimental-concurrency`, so we have a place to put this
work.
