These types are leftovers from the early pre-1.0 times when Int and UInt
were always 64-bit on all platforms. They serve no useful purpose
today. Int and UInt are defined to be word-sized and should be used
instead.

There's a regression here because we can no longer use "true" or
"false" with ObjCBool. We'll get that back when true and false become
literals.

There is some follow-up work remaining:
- test/stdlib/UnicodeTrie test kills the type checker without manual type annotations. <rdar://problem/17539704>
- test/Sema/availability test raises a type error on 'a: String == nil', which we want, but probably not as a side effect of string-to-pointer conversions. I'll fix this next.

These types are often useless and confusing to users who expect to be able to use Sequence or Generator as types in their own right like in C# or Java. While we're here, relax the rules for self-conformance to admit methods returning 'Self'. Covariant return types should not actually prevent a protocol type from conforming to itself, and the stdlib makes particular use of protocols with 'init' requirements which implicitly return Self.
