Previously, bridged value types and their corresponding Objective-C
classes allow inter-conversion via a number of user-defined conversion
functions in the Foundation module. Instead, make this a general
feature of the type checker so we can reason about it more
directly. Fixes <rdar://problem/16956098> and
<rdar://problem/17134986>, and eliminates 11 (half) of the
__conversion functions from the standard library and overlays.
A few notes:
- The XCTest changes are because a String can no longer directly
conform to CVarArg: this is a Good Thing (TM), because it should be
ambiguous: did you mean to pass it as an NSString or a C string?
- The Objective-C representations for the bridged collections are
hard-coded in the type checker. This is unfortunate and can be
remedied by adding another associated type to the
_BridgedToObjectiveC protocol.

This entry point is used in conditional downcasts (as?) to attempt to
bridge from an Objective-C class down to a specific native type (e.g.,
array, dictionary), bridging all elements eagerly so that it can
produce nil if the bridging would fail.
This is the scaffolding for <rdar://problem/17319154>, and makes the
example there work, but there is much more cleanup and optimization to
do.

This makes categories of NSString, NSArray, and NSDictionary available
on String, Array, and Dictionary. Note that we only consider
categories not present in the Objective-C Foundation module, because
we want to manually map those APIs ourselves. Hence, no changes to the
NSStringAPI. Implements <rdar://problem/13653329>.

This is all goodness, and eliminates a major source of implicit conversions.
One thing this regresses on though, is that we now reject "x == nil" where
x is an option type and the element of the optional is not Equtatable. If
this is important, there are ways to enable this, but directly testing it as
a logic value is more straight-forward.
This does not include support for pattern matching against nil, that will be
a follow on patch.
Swift SVN r18918
Allow class metatypes (including class-constrained existential metatypes) to be treated as subtypes of AnyObject, and single-@objc protocol metatypes to be treated as subtypes of the Protocol class from objc. No codegen support yet, so this is hidden behind a frontend flag for now.
Swift SVN r18810
We were failing to recognize '.Protocol' as a postfix type expression everywhere we needed to, and we were resolving neither 'T.Type' or 'T.Protocol' to a type reference in expression context.
Swift SVN r18789
String interpolation invokes convertFromStringInterpolationSegment() function
now. There is no need to add extensions to String to allow custom types to
participate in string interpolation. Just implementing Printable will do the
right thing.

double-quoted string literals that contain a single extended grapheme cluster
SEGCL by default infer type String, but you can ask to infer Character
for them.
Single quoted literals continue to infer Character.
Actual extended grapheme cluster segmentation is not implemented yet,

Formatting names into strings repeatedly, and using those for semantic
analysis, is generally considered poor form. Additionally, use the
camelCase utilities to perform the string manipulation we need, and
cache results on the ObjCAttr so we don't repeatedly do string
manipulation.

This significantly reduces the amount of overhead incurred when naively importing large external modules without referencing many of its members, which should directly improve response times in the playground. For example, the repro code attached to rdar://problem/16387393 imports Foundation but references none of its members, and with these changes its total compilation time is almost 2.5x faster.
Swift SVN r15479
Take DynamicSelf as a keyword, but parse it as a type-identifier.
Teach function declaration checking to sniff out and validate
DynamicSelf early, with appropriate QoI for references to DynamicSelf
that appear in other places.
As a temporary hack, DynamicSelf resolves to an alias for 'Self' in a
protocol or the enclosing nominal type.
