Adds an overload of `_DebuggerSupport.stringForPrintObject` which takes a pointer and mangled typename as arguments. This will be used to improve performance and resilience of `po` in lldb.
The pointer and mangled typename are used to construct an `Any` value, which is then passed into the primary implementation of `stringForPrintObject`.
This allows calling `stringForPrintObject` without having to first construct a context that contains all necessary Swift modules. This will improve speed, and also resilience when modules cannot be loaded for whatever reason.

Code using the outline heap storage path will crash and burn because
support is incomplete. But at least inline storage existential
inhabitants should compile and run.
This change moves us toward the official feature, and eliminates the
extra level of "thunk" that was implied by `@_cdecl`. Amusingly, this
trips up the LLVM-level ARC optimizations, because we are trying to
perform ARC optimizations within the retain/release runtime functions.
Teach those optimization passes to leave swift_retainN et al alone.
Fix crash when creating a Span from an empty InlineArray whose storage
is only byte-aligned. #85265.

Inspired by #84826, I've dusted off and completely reworked a native
implementation of integer-to-string conversion.
Besides existing tests in this repository, the core of the
implementation has been comprehensively tested in a separate package for
all bases between 2–36 to demonstrate identical output for all 8-bit and
16-bit values, and for randomly generated 32-bit, 64-bit, and 128-bit
values.
Resolves#51902.

This is currently disabled by default. Building the client library can be enabled with the CMake option SWIFT_BUILD_CLIENT_RETAIN_RELEASE, and using the library can be enabled with the flags -Xfrontend -enable-client-retain-release.
To improve retain/release performance, we build a static library containing optimized implementations of the fast paths of swift_retain, swift_release, and the corresponding bridgeObject functions. This avoids going through a stub to make a cross-library call.
IRGen gains awareness of these new functions and emits calls to them when the functionality is enabled and the target supports them. Two options are added to force use of them on or off: -enable-client-retain-release and -disable-client-retain-release. When enabled, the compiler auto-links the static library containing the implementations.
The new calls also use LLVM's preserve_most calling convention. Since retain/release doesn't need a large number of scratch registers, this is mostly harmless for the implementation, while allowing callers to improve code size and performance by spilling fewer registers around refcounting calls. (Experiments with an even more aggressive calling convention preserving x2 and up showed an insignificant savings in code size, so preserve_most seems to be a good middle ground.)
Since the implementations are embedded into client binaries, any change in the runtime's refcounting implementation needs to stay compatible with this new fast path implementation. This is ensured by having the implementation use a runtime-provided mask to check whether it can proceed into its fast path. The mask is provided as the address of the absolute symbol _swift_retainRelease_slowpath_mask_v1. If that mask ANDed with the object's current refcount field is non-zero, then we take the slow path. A future runtime that changes the refcounting implementation can adjust this mask to match, or set the mask to all 1s to disable the old embedded fast path entirely (as long as the new representation never uses 0 as a valid refcount field value).
As part of this work, the overall approach for bridgeObjectRetain is changed slightly. Previously, it would mask off the spare bits from the native pointer and then call through to swift_retain. This either lost the spare bits in the return value (when tail calling swift_retain) which is problematic since it's supposed to return its parameter, or it required pushing a stack frame which is inefficient. Now, swift_retain takes on the responsibility of masking off spare bits from the parameter and preserving them in the return value. This is a trivial addition to the fast path (just a quick mask and an extra register for saving the original value) and makes bridgeObjectRetain quite a bit more efficient when implemented correctly to return the exact value it was passed.
The runtime's implementations of swift_retain/release are now also marked as preserve_most so that they can be tail called from the client library. preserve_most is compatible with callers expecting the standard calling convention so this doesn't break any existing clients. Some ugly tricks were needed to prevent the compiler from creating unnecessary stack frames with the new calling convention. Avert your eyes.
To allow back deployment, the runtime now has aliases for these functions called swift_retain_preservemost and swift_release_preservemost. The client library brings weak definitions of these functions that save the extra registers and call through to swift_retain/release. This allows them to work correctly on older runtimes, with a small performance penalty, while still running at full speed on runtimes that have the new preservemost symbols.
Although this is only supported on Darwin at the moment, it shouldn't be too much work to adapt it to other ARM64 targets. We need to ensure the assembly plays nice with the other platforms' assemblers, and make sure the implementation is correct for the non-ObjC-interop case.

Update documentation for `InlineArray` to include examples with type
sugar, reword to avoid certain jargon that may be unfamiliar to some
standard library users, and incorporate additional details mostly drawn
from the proposal text.

The existing _SwiftifyImport macro is a peer macro, limiting it to only
emitting function wrappers in the same scope as the original function.
Protocols cannot contain function implementations, so these need to be
placed in a separate protocol extension instead. _SwiftifyImportProtocol
is an extension macro rather than a peer macro, to enable this
functionality.
Rather than operating on a single function, like _SwiftifyImport,
_SwiftifyImportProtocol takes information about multiple methods and
creates a single protocol extension with all wrappers in a one-shot
operation.

When emitting SIL for `if #available(Swift ..., *)` queries, call the new
`_isSwiftRuntimeVersionAtLeast()` function in the stdlib to check the
condition. To support back deployment, the implementation of
`_isSwiftRuntimeVersionAtLeast()` is `@_alwaysEmitIntoClient` and performs its
comparison against the result of `_SwiftStdlibVersion.current`, which is
pre-existing ABI that the stdlib exposes for querying the Swift runtime
version.
Resolves rdar://162726037.
To achieve this, add a new cache variable
`SWIFT_EMBEDDED_STDLIB_SDKS_FOR_TARGET_TRIPLES` to be set like in the
following examples.
```
-DSWIFT_EMBEDDED_STDLIB_SDKS_FOR_TARGET_TRIPLES=aarch64-vendor-os@/usr/local/aarch64-vendor-os-sdk;aaarch-vendor-anotheros@/opt/aarch64-vendor-anotheros-sdk
```
We chose to use another setting instead of e.g. folding this into
`SWIFT_EMBEDDED_STDLIB_EXTRA_TARGET_TRIPLES` so it is clear this is opt
in and it does not regress existing configurations that set the SDK
directly (like it's the case for the WASM stdlib).

This is possible because this replaces
* `InlineArray` with `internal _InlineArray`
* `UInt128` with `internal _UInt128`
And the replacements are not availability-restricted.
We don't need to do the same thing with `MutableSpan`
because that back-deploys to Swift 5.0, which is as
far back as the stdlib builds anyway.
