This is in preparation for wiring up debug info support for noncopyable
values. Originally this flag name made sense since it was set when we performed
consume operator checking. Now I am going to use it for noncopyable types as
well. I think the new name uses_moveable_value_debuginfo actually describes what
the flag is supposed to do, tell IRGen that the value may be moved since it
needs to use moveable value debug info emission.
A type (mostly classes) can be attributed with `@_semantics("arc.immortal")`.
ARC operations on values of such types are eliminated.
This is useful for the bridged SIL objects in the swift compiler sources.
Instead of doing the type casts and/or conformance lookup on the swift side, do it on the C++ side.
It makes a significant performance difference because `Operand.value` is a time critical function
The instance type of a metatype instruction is not necessarily a legal lowered SIL Type.
Lower the type before converting it to a SILType.

This instruction can be inserted by Onone optimizations as a replacement for deleted instructions to
ensure that it's possible to single step on its location.
* split the `PassContext` into multiple protocols and structs: `Context`, `MutatingContext`, `FunctionPassContext` and `SimplifyContext`
* change how instruction passes work: implement the `simplify` function in conformance to `SILCombineSimplifyable`
* add a mechanism to add a callback for inserted instructions
Replace the generic `List` with the (non-generic) `InstructionList` and `BasicBlockList`.
The `InstructionList` is now a bit different than the `BasicBlockList` because it supports that instructions are deleted while iterating over the list.
Also add a test pass which tests instruction modification while iteration.
We can ignore any memory writes in a program termination point, because it's not relevant for the caller.
But we need to consider memory reads, otherwise preceeding memory writes would be eliminated by dead-store-elimination in the caller.
E.g. String initialization for error strings which are printed by the program termination point.
Regarding ownership: a program termination point must not touch any reference counted objects.
Previously, to workaround an issue with ShrinkBorrowScope (where it
assumed a reasonable definition of isDeinitBarrier), a placeholder
version of the function was added. It is now removed by moving the
implementation of a version of that predicate back to C++.
