This includes global generic and non-generic global access
functions, protocol associated type access functions,
swift_getGenericMetadata, and generic type completion functions.
The main part of this change is that the functions now need to take
a MetadataRequest and return a MetadataResponse, which is capable
of expressing that the request can fail. The state of the returned
metadata is reported as an second, independent return value; this
allows the caller to easily check the possibility of failure without
having to mask it out from the returned metadata pointer, as well
as allowing it to be easily ignored.
Also, change metadata access functions to use swiftcc to ensure that
this return value is indeed returned in two separate registers.
Also, change protocol associated conformance access functions to use
swiftcc. This isn't really related, but for some reason it snuck in.
Since it's clearly the right thing to do, and since I really didn't
want to retroactively tease that back out from all the rest of the
test changes, I've left it in.
Also, change generic metadata access functions to either pass all
the generic arguments directly or pass them all indirectly. I don't
know how we ended up with the hybrid approach. I needed to change all
the code-generation and calls here anyway in order to pass the request
parameter, and I figured I might as well change the ABI to something
sensible.
* Remove RegisterPreservingCC. It was unused.
* Remove DefaultCC from the runtime. The distinction between C_CC and DefaultCC
was unused and inconsistently applied. Separate C_CC and DefaultCC are
still present in the compiler.
* Remove function pointer indirection from runtime functions except those
that are used by Instruments. The remaining Instruments interface is
expected to change later due to function pointer liability.
* Remove swift_rt_ wrappers. Function pointers are an ABI liability that we
don't want, and there are better ways to get nonlazy binding if we need it.
The fully custom wrappers were only needed for RegisterPreservingCC and
for optimizing the Instruments function pointers.
Previously, we just always promoted destroy_addr. With ownership, this does not
work as well since we need to be able to reason about the take operation that we
are performing. In the general case, this would require adding code to
pred-memopts for tracking reads and for compensation store code since we would
need to eliminate the store of the taken value to prevent a double use.
I am going to loop back around later in the year and add back this code once the
time is available. I filed SR-6341. In case any third party contributor is
interested in looking at re-enabling this optimization before I get back to it.

Use the generic type lowering algorithm described in
"docs/CallingConvention.rst#physical-lowering" to map from IRGen's explosion
type to the type expected by the ABI.
Change IRGen to use the swift calling convention (swiftcc) for native swift
functions.
Use the 'swiftself' attribute on self parameters and for closures contexts.
Use the 'swifterror' parameter for swift error parameters.
Change functions in the runtime that are called as native swift functions to use
the swift calling convention.

Often times SILGen wants to hold onto values that have been copied. This causes
an issue, when due to Cleanups firing, SILBuilder inserts destroys and destroys
the copy that produced the value that SILGen held onto. This will then cause
SILGen to emit incorrect code.
There really is no reason to introduce such complexity into SILBuilder when a
small simple guaranteed pass can perform the same work. Thus the introduction of
this pass.
In a later commit, I am going to eliminate the SILBuilder entry points.

Swift uses rt_swift_* functions to call the Swift runtime without using dyld's stubs. These functions are renamed to swift_rt_* to reduce namespace pollution.

The drivers for this change are providing a simpler API to SIL pass
authors, having a more efficient of the in-memory representation,
and ruling out an entire class of common bugs that usually result
in hard-to-debug backend crashes.
Summary
-------
SILInstruction
Old New
+---------------+ +------------------+ +-----------------+
|SILInstruction | |SILInstruction | |SILDebugLocation |
+---------------+ +------------------+ +-----------------+
| ... | | ... | | ... |
|SILLocation | |SILDebugLocation *| -> |SILLocation |
|SILDebugScope *| +------------------+ |SILDebugScope * |
+---------------+ +-----------------+
We’re introducing a new class SILDebugLocation which represents the
combination of a SILLocation and a SILDebugScope.
Instead of storing an inline SILLocation and a SILDebugScope pointer,
SILInstruction now only has one SILDebugLocation pointer. The APIs of
SILBuilder and SILDebugLocation guarantees that every SILInstruction
has a nonempty SILDebugScope.
Developer-visible changes include:
SILBuilder
----------
In the old design SILBuilder populated the InsertedInstrs list to
allow setting the debug scopes of all built instructions in bulk
at the very end (as the responsibility of the user). In the new design,
SILBuilder now carries a "current debug scope" state and immediately
sets the debug scope when an instruction is inserted.
This fixes a use-after-free issue with with SIL passes that delete
instructions before destroying the SILBuilder that created them.
Because of this, SILBuilderWithScopes no longer needs to be a template,
which simplifies its call sites.
SILInstruction
--------------
It is neither possible or necessary to manually call setDebugScope()
on a SILInstruction any more. The function still exists as a private
method, but is only used when splicing instructions from one function
to another.
Efficiency
----------
In addition to dropping 20 bytes from each SILInstruction,
SILDebugLocations are now allocated in the SILModule's bump pointer
allocator and are uniqued by SILBuilder. Unfortunately repeat compiles
of the standard library already vary by about 5% so I couldn’t yet
produce reliable numbers for how much this saves overall.

And include some supplementary mangling changes:
- Give the first generic param (depth=0, index=0) a single character mangling. Even after removing the self type from method declaration types, 'Self' still shows up very frequently in protocol requirement signatures.
- Fix the mangling of generic parameter counts to elide the count when there's only one parameter at the starting depth of the mangling.
Together these carve another 154KB out of a debug standard library. There's some awkwardness in demangled strings that I'll clean up in subsequent commits; since decl types now only mangle the number of generic params at their own depth, it's context-dependent what depths those represent, which we get wrong now. Currying markers are also wrong, but since free function currying is going away, we can mangle the partial application thunks in different ways.

'Ss' appears in manglings tens of thousands of times in the standard library and is also incredibly frequent in other modules. This alone is enough to shrink the standard library by 59KB.

The only caveat is that:
1. We do not properly recognize when we have a let binding and we
perform a guaranteed dynamic call. In such a case, we add an extra
retain, release pair around the call. In order to get that case I will
need to refactor some code in Callee. I want to make this change, but
not at the expense of getting the rest of this work in.
2. Some of the protocol witness thunks generated have unnecessary
retains or releases in a similar manner.
But this is a good first step.
I am going to send a large follow up email with all of the relevant results, so
I can let the bots chew on this a little bit.

With this change we will devirtualize in trivial cases where mandatory
inlining has exposed opportunities due to substituting types, for
example substituting a struct type into a witness_method where we can
now easily determine exactly what method will be called.
This makes it possible to use @transparent on struct methods that are
dispatched via generic functions, resulting in the opportunity to emit
diagnostics for these methods as well as eliminate the overhead of the
indirect call.
I saw a handful of 10+% perf improvements at -Onone on our benchmarks.
In theory this should allow us to remove the overloads for ++/-- in
FixedPoint.swift.gyb without a performance penalty (and with the proper
overflow diagnostics), but unfortunately if we were to do so, we would
currently dispatch to functions that lack runtime overflow
checks (rdar://problem/20226526).

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.

without a valid SILDebugScope. An assertion in IRGenSIL prevents future
optimizations from regressing in this regard.
Introducing SILBuilderWithScope and SILBuilderwithPostprocess to ease the
transition.
This patch is large, but mostly mechanical.
