id-as-Any lets you pass Optional to an ObjC API that takes `nonnull id`, and also lets you bridge containers of `Optional` to `NSArray` etc. When this occurs, we can unwrap the value and bridge it so that inhabited optionals still pass into ObjC in the expected way, but we need something to represent `none` other than the `nil` pointer. Cocoa provides `NSNull` as the canonical "null for containers" object, which is the least bad of many possible answers. If we happen to have the rare nested optional `T??`, there is no precedented analog for these in Cocoa, so just generate a unique sentinel object to preserve the `nil`-ness depth so we at least don't lose information round-tripping across the ObjC-Swift bridge.
Making Optional conform to _ObjectiveCBridgeable is more or less enough to make this all work, though there are a few additional edge case things that need to be fixed up. We don't want to accept `AnyObject??` as an @objc-compatible type, so special-case Optional in `getForeignRepresentable`.
