https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/pull/72612 can be reverted because it is no
longer necessary for the interface of the stdlib to be compatible with
compilers without `$TypedThrows` support.
WebAssembly does not support _Float16 type, so we need to guard the use
of the type. Unfortunately, Clang does not provide a good way to detect
the support of _Float16 type at compile time, so just disable for wasm
targets.
We can easily test all 2**16 values, so let's do it. Also now _Float16 is properly supported in clang, so we can pass arguments to CPP that way, which lets us get snan right on more platforms.
Functions that are used in public `@inlinable` function bodies can't be marked
`@_spi` nor can they be made obsolete. Also, they must retain `rethrows` so
that use of these entry points from other `rethrows` functions is accepted.
Builds on https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/72365. Once we no longer have to
support pre-`$TypedThrows` compilers, all of this can be reverted.

This isn't a "complete" port of the standard library for embedded Swift, but
something that should serve as a starting point for further iterations on the
stdlib.
- General CMake logic for building a library as ".swiftmodule only" (ONLY_SWIFTMODULE).
- CMake logic in stdlib/public/core/CMakeLists.txt to start building the embedded stdlib for a handful of hardcoded target triples.
- Lots of annotations throughout the standard library to make types, functions, protocols unavailable in embedded Swift (@_unavailableInEmbedded).
- Mainly this is about stdlib functionality that relies on existentials, type erasure, metatypes, reflection, string interpolations.
- We rely on function body removal of unavailable functions to eliminate the actual problematic SIL code (existentials).
- Many .swift files are not included in the compilation of embedded stdlib at all, to simplify the scope of the annotations.
- EmbeddedStubs.swift is used to stub out (as unavailable and fatalError'd) the missing functionality.
This is a wild guess at what might be causing our persistent, random
String failures on the main branch:
```
Swift(macosx-x86_64) :: Prototypes/CollectionTransformers.swift
Swift(macosx-x86_64) :: stdlib/NSSlowString.swift
Swift(macosx-x86_64) :: stdlib/NSStringAPI.swift
Swift(macosx-x86_64) :: stdlib/StringIndex.swift
Swift-validation(macosx-x86_64) :: stdlib/String.swift
Swift-validation(macosx-x86_64) :: stdlib/StringBreadcrumbs.swift
Swift-validation(macosx-x86_64) :: stdlib/StringUTF8.swift
```
FWIW, it appears this is *not* caused by https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/62717:
that change has also landed on release/5.8, and I haven’t seen these
issues on that branch.
Our atomic breadcrumbs initialization vs its non-atomic loading
gives me an uneasy feeling that this may in fact be a long standing
synchronization issue that is only now causing problems (for whatever
reason). I am unable to reproduce these issues locally, so this guess
may be (and probably is) wildly off the mark, but this PR is likely
to be a good idea anyway, if only to rule out this possibility.

Due to an unstable (and undesirable) calling convention in the LLVM layer for x86, I had previously marked Float16 unconditionally unavailable on macOS. My hope was that Intel would stabilize the calling convention and we could make it available on both macOS platforms at the same time. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened, and we want to make the type available for macOS/arm users.
So, I am making the availability mirror Float80--the type will be unavailable for macOS on x86_64, and available on all other platforms (the other x86 platforms don't have a binary-stability guarantee to worry about). This isn't ideal. In particular, if/when the calling conventions for Float16 stabilize in LLVM, we would want to make the type available, but it would then have _different_ availability for different architectures of macOS, which the current availability system is not well-equipped to handle (it's possible, but not very ergonomic). Nonetheless, this seems like the best option.
The good news is that because the full API is already built in Swift (and simply marked unavailable), we can simply add macOS 11.0 availability for these API and it will work.
LLVM doesn't have a stable ABI for Float16 on x86 yet; we're working with Intel to get that fixed, but we don't want to make the type available on macOS until a stable ABI is actually available, because we'd break binaries compiled before any calling convention changes if we do.
