When unconditionally casting from a base to a final derived class, e.g. `base as! Derived`, the program did not abort with a trap.
Instead the resulting null-pointer caused a crash later in the program.
This fix inserts a trap condition for the failing case of such a cast.

These tests are testing changes that aren't present in older runtimes:
test/stdlib/SwiftValueNSObject.swift
test/stdlib/SwiftObjectNSObject.swift
test/stdlib/BridgeEquatableToObjC.swift
And this test looks for some wording that's different on older runtimes. This one already does availability checks, so we change the requirements to SwiftStdlib 5.11:
test/Casting/CastTraps.swift.gyb
* Dynamic Cast Rework: Runtime
This is a completely refactored version of the core swift_dynamicCast
runtime method.
This fixes a number of bugs, especially in the handling of multiply-wrapped
types such as Optional within Any. The result should be much closer to the
behavior specified by `docs/DynamicCasting.md`.
Most of the type-specific logic is simply copied over from the
earlier implementation, but the overall structure has been changed
to be uniformly recursive. In particular, this provides uniform
handling of Optional, existentials, Any and other common "box"
types along all paths. The consistent structure should also be
easier to update in the future with new general types.
Benchmarking does not show any noticable performance implications.
**Temporarily**, the old implementation is still available. Setting the
environment variable `SWIFT_OLD_DYNAMIC_CAST_RUNTIME` before launching a program
will use the old runtime implementation. This is only to facilitate testing;
once the new implementation is stable, I expect to completely remove the old
implementation.
