This makes ManagedBuffer available and usable in Embedded Swift, by:
- Removing an internal consistency check from ManagedBuffer that relies on metatypes.
- Making the .create() API transparent (to hoist the metatype to the callee).
- Adding a AllocRefDynamicInst simplification to convert `alloc_ref_dynamic` to `alloc_ref`, which removes a metatype use.
- Adding tests for the above.
Motivated by need for protocol-based dynamic dispatch, which hasn't been possible in Embedded Swift due to a full ban on existentials. This lifts that restriction but only for class-bound existentials: Class-bound existentials are already (even in desktop Swift) much more lightweight than full existentials, as they don't need type metadata, their containers are typically 2 words only (reference + wtable pointer), don't incur copies (only retains+releases).
Included in this PR:
[x] Non-generic class-bound existentials, executable tests for those.
[x] Extension methods on protocols and using those from a class-bound existential.
[x] RuntimeEffects now differentiate between Existential and ExistentialClassBound.
[x] PerformanceDiagnostics don't flag ExistentialClassBound in Embedded Swift.
[x] WTables are generated in IRGen when needed.
Left for follow-up PRs:
[ ] Generic classes support
The reason why is that we want to distinguish inbetween SILFunction's that are
marked as unspecified by SILGen and those that are parsed from textual SIL that
do not have any specified isolation. This will make it easier to write nice
FileCheck tests against SILGen output on what is the inferred isolation for
various items.

`swift::Decl` and its inheritors should be treated as foreign reference types in Swift, meaning pointers to them (`Decl*`) should be mapped to Swift classes. This can be done by applying `SWIFT_UNSAFE_REFERENCE` attribute to the `swift::Decl` types. However, at the moment these functions don't seem to be used from Swift, so this change just removes the `SWIFT_IMPORT_UNSAFE` attributes.
`SWIFT_IMPORT_UNSAFE` is an escape hatch that can be used to make the Swift compiler ignore its usual safety heuristics for C++ types.
`SILDebugLocation` is better described as a self-contained Swift type.
Similar to 35263ef9.
The generality of the `AvailabilityContext` name made it seem like it
encapsulates more than it does. Really it just augments `VersionRange` with
additional set algebra operations that are useful for availability
computations. The `AvailabilityContext` name should be reserved for something
pulls together more than just a single version.
`SWIFT_IMPORT_UNSAFE` is an escape hatch that can be used to make the Swift compiler ignore its usual safety heuristics for C++ types.
`BridgedOwnedString` fits into the definition of a self-contained C++ type in Swift: it manages the lifetimes of its own fields.
This removes the usages of `SWIFT_IMPORT_UNSAFE` for C++ functions that return `BridgedOwnedString`, and annotates `BridgedOwnedString` as a self-contained type.
