An optimization should be added in order for the new one to be
efficient, i.e. if the `count` value is equal to `1`, the underlying
`Builtin.destroy` should be called, instead of
`Builtin.destroyArray`.
Currently they do nothing but allow stdlib code to use regular (Bool)
types. However, soon the wrappers for the _native variants will
provide point-of-use sanity checking.
These need to be fully generic to support class protocols and
single-payload enums (not just for optional). It also avoids a massive
amount of overloading for all the reference type variations
(AnyObject, Native, Unknown, Bridge) x 2 for optional versions of
each.
Because the wrapper is generic, type checking had to be deferred until
IRGen. Generating code for the wrapper itself will result in an
IRGen-time type error. They need to be transparent anyway for proper
diagnostics, but also must be internal.
Note that the similar external API type checks ok because it
forces conformance to AnyObject.
The sanity checks are disabled because our current facilities for
unsafe type casting are incomplete and unsound. SILCombine can
remove UnsafeMutablePointer and RawPointer casts by assuming layout
compatibility. IRGen will later discover layout incompatibility and
generate a trap.
I'll send out a proposal for improving the casting situation so we can
get the sanity checks back.

This reverts commit 64e9f11211a19fa603f5bc2d2bea171a9b07d3fa.
I think this is breaking ExistentialCollection test in the
Release + stdlib asserts build.

Fixes <rdar://problem/18151694> Add Builtin.checkUnique to avoid lost Array copies
The isUniquelyReference APIs are now correct in the presence of full
inlining and ARC optimization. The ARC optimizer can't see into the
Builtin, which lowers to a special SIL instruction.

The standard library has grown significantly, and we need a new
directory structure that clearly reflects the role of the APIs, and
allows future growth.
See stdlib/{public,internal,private}/README.txt for more information.
