For now this will only be used for HopToMainActorIfNeeded thunks. I am creating
this now since in the past there has only been one option for creating
thunks... to create the thunk in SILGen using SILGenThunk. This code is hard to
test and there is a lot of it. By using an instruction here we get a few benefits:
1. We decouple SILGen from needing to generate new kinds of thunks. This means
that SILGenThunk does not need to expand to handle more thunks.
2. All thunks implemented via ThunkInst will be easy to test in a decoupled way
with SIL tests.
3. Even though this stabilizes the patient, we still have many thunks in SILGen
and various parts of the compiler. Over time, we can swap to this model,
allowing us to hopefully eventually delete SILGenThunk.
When compiling with library evolution and a pre-Swift 6.0 deployment
target, a mismatch between the notion of resilience used for determining
whether a protocol that inherits Sendable might need to be treated as
"dependent" differed from how other parts of IR generation decided
whether to conformance should be considered as resilient. The
difference came when both the protocol and its conforming type are in
the same module as the user.
Switch over to the "is this conformance resilient?" query that takes
into account such conformances.
Fixes rdar://136586922.
The main change here is to associate a witness table with a `ProtocolConformance` instead of a `RootProtocolConformance`.
A `ProtocolConformance` is the base class and can be a `RootProtocolConformance` or a `SpecializedProtocolConformance`.
For types like `Atomic` and `Mutex`, we want to know that even though they are
technically bitwise-takable, they differ from other bitwise-takable types until
this point because they are not also "bitwise-borrowable"; while borrowed,
they are pinned in memory, so they cannot be passed by value as a borrowed
parameter, unlike copyable bitwise-takable types. Add a bit to the value witness
table flags to record this.
Note that this patch does not include any accompanying runtime support for
propagating the flag into runtime-instantiated type metadata. There isn't yet
any runtime functionality that varies based on this flag, so that can
be implemented separately.

Motivated by need for protocol-based dynamic dispatch, which hasn't been possible in Embedded Swift due to a full ban on existentials. This lifts that restriction but only for class-bound existentials: Class-bound existentials are already (even in desktop Swift) much more lightweight than full existentials, as they don't need type metadata, their containers are typically 2 words only (reference + wtable pointer), don't incur copies (only retains+releases).
Included in this PR:
[x] Non-generic class-bound existentials, executable tests for those.
[x] Extension methods on protocols and using those from a class-bound existential.
[x] RuntimeEffects now differentiate between Existential and ExistentialClassBound.
[x] PerformanceDiagnostics don't flag ExistentialClassBound in Embedded Swift.
[x] WTables are generated in IRGen when needed.
Left for follow-up PRs:
[ ] Generic classes support
