SE-0072 took implicit bridging conversions away, which regressed the ability to express NSDictionaries as dictionary literals and index them using literal keys. Address this by changing the signature of init(dictionaryLiteral:) to use Hashable and Any, and by replacing the subscript from Objective-C with one using _Hashable that does the bridging on the user's behalf. This largely restores the QoI of working with NS collections.
One last bit of SE-0072. We shouldn't fall back to bridged classes in the absence of type context for literals anymore. By itself, this kind of hoses the use of literals with NS types, but I think we can get most of the QoI back with overlay changes I plan to propose following this.
Previously the "as" keyword could either represent coercion or or forced
downcasting. This change separates the two notions. "as" now only means
type conversion, while the new "as!" operator is used to perform forced
downcasting. If a program uses "as" where "as!" is called for, we emit a
diagnostic and fixit.
Internally, this change removes the UnresolvedCheckedCastExpr class, in
favor of directly instantiating CoerceExpr when parsing the "as"
operator, and ForcedCheckedCastExpr when parsing the "as!" operator.

This is mostly just a renaming of _SwiftNativeNSArray, except that we
want to add another NSArray subclass for verbatim-bridged elements, so
we want a common base class. _SwiftNativeNSArray is the name of that
new base class, to parallel the other _SwiftNativeNSXXX classes.

There's a bit of a reshuffle of the ExplicitCastExpr subclasses:
- The existing ConditionalCheckedCastExpr expression node now represents
"as?".
- A new ForcedCheckedCastExpr node represents "as" when it is a
downcast.
- CoerceExpr represents "as" when it is a coercion.
- A new UnresolvedCheckedCastExpr node describes "as" before it has
been type-checked down to ForcedCheckedCastExpr or CoerceExpr. This
wasn't a strictly necessary change, but it helps us detangle what's
going on.
There are a few new diagnostics to help users avoid getting bitten by
as/as? mistakes:
- Custom errors when a forced downcast (as) is used as the operand
of postfix '!' or '?', with Fix-Its to remove the '!' or make the
downcast conditional (with as?), respectively.
- A warning when a forced downcast is injected into an optional,
with a suggestion to use a conditional downcast.
- A new error when the postfix '!' is used for a contextual
downcast, with a Fix-It to replace it with "as T" with the
contextual type T.
Lots of test updates, none of which felt like regressions. The new
tests are in test/expr/cast/optionals.swift.

This allows "obj.description!" to work on iOS when 'obj' is an AnyObject,
even though 'description' is an implicit property created by the importer.

In the lit.site.cfg, if a MODULES_SDK is available, add a '%sdk' substitution and enable REQUIRES: sdk tests. Add some tests under test/Interpreter/SDK to test some basic ObjC interop features.
