Pre-specializations were only used by Onone builds, but were kept inside the standard library dylyb anyways. This commit moves all the pre-specializations into a dedicated Swift module and a dynamic library, which are only used by Onone builds.
This reduces the code size of libswiftCore.dylib by 4%-5%.
With this re-abstraction a specialized function has the same calling convention as if it would have been written with the specialized types in the first place.
In general this results in less alloc_stacks and load/stores.
It also can eliminate some re-abstraction thunks, e.g. if a generic closure is used in a non-generic context.
It some (hopefully rare) cases it may require to add re-abstraction thunks.
In case a function has multiple indirect results, only the first is converted to a direct result. This is an open TODO.

This commit changes the Swift mangler from a utility that writes tokens into a
stream into a name-builder that has two phases: "building a name", and "ready".
This clear separation is needed for the implementation of the compression layer.
Users of the mangler can continue to build the name using the mangleXXX methods,
but to access the results the users of the mangler need to call the finalize()
method. This method can write the result into a stream, like before, or return
an std::string.
(libraries now)
It has been generally agreed that we need to do this reorg, and now
seems like the perfect time. Some major pass reorganization is in the
works.
This does not have to be the final word on the matter. The consensus
among those working on the code is that it's much better than what we
had and a better starting point for future bike shedding.
Note that the previous organization was designed to allow separate
analysis and optimization libraries. It turns out this is an
artificial distinction and not an important goal.
