Adds a tool `swift-symbolgraph-extract` that reads an existing Swift
module and prints a platform- and language-agnostic JSON description of
the module, primarly for documentation.
Adds a small sub-library `SymbolGraphGen` which houses the core
implementation for collecting relevant information about declarations.
The main entry point is integrated directly into the driver as a mode:
the tool is meant to be run outside of the normal edit-compile-run/test
workflow to avoid impacting build times.
Along with common options for other tools, unique options include
`pretty-print` for debugging, and a `minimum-access-level` options for
including internal documentation.
A symbol graph is a directed graph where the nodes are symbols in a
module and the edges are relationships between them. For example, a
`struct S` may have a member `var x`. The graph would have two nodes for
`S` and `x`, and one "member-of" relationship edge. Other relationship
kinds include "inherits-from" or "conforms to". The data format for a
symbol graph is still under development and may change without notice
until a specificiation and versioning scheme is published.
Various aspects about a symbol are recorded in the nodes, such as
availability, documentation comments, or data needed for printing the
shapes of declarations without having to understand specifics about the
langauge.
Implicit and public-underscored stdlib declarations are not included by
default.

In addition to full Markdown support, the following extensions are
supported. These appear as lists at the top level of the comment's
"document". All of these extensions are matched without regard to
case.
Parameter Outlines
------------------
- Parameters:
- x: ...
- y: ...
Separate Parameters
-------------------
- parameter x: ...
- parameter y: ...
- Note:
Parameter documentation may be broken up across the entire comment,
with a mix of parameter documentation kinds - they'll be consolidated
in the end.
Returns

The following extensions are also list items at the top level, which
will also appear in Xcode QuickHelp as first-class citizens:

These match most of the extra fields in Doxygen, plus a few more per request.
Other changes
-------------
- Remove use of rawHTML for all markup AST nodes except for those
not representable by the Xcode QuickHelp XSLT - <h>, <hr/>, and of
course inline/block HTML itself.
- Update the doc comment RNG schema to more accurately reflect Xcode
QuickHelp.
- Clean up cmark CMake configuration.
- Rename "FullComment" to "DocComment"
- Update the Swift Standard Documentation (in a follow-up commit)
- Update SourceKit for minor changes and link against cmark
(in a follow-up commit).

Most tests were using %swift or similar substitutions, which did not
include the target triple and SDK. The driver was defaulting to the
host OS. Thus, we could not run the tests when the standard library was
not built for OS X.
