Generally avoid casting to a raw pointer unless a raw pointer is needed.
Builtin.castReference is now the canonical way to cast reference types.
Canonical generally = better optimizer. In practice this will reduce to
the same SIL since the stdlib code will be optimized.
There are enough unit tests for unsafeDowncast and Builtin.castReference.
I measured no performance regressions.

- This adds all of the content which is also present in the Darwin module,
following the same structure. Not every single header is enumerated, but I
believe this does capture almost all of the interesting top-level things that
people include directly.

_unsafeCastReference allows casting of any references types, regardless
of whether they are references to objects or class existentials. The
implementation is responsible for converting between representations.
_unsafeCastReference provides a dynamic check to ensure that the source
and dest are both actually references. If not, the implementation will
trap at runtime. Generally, the optimizer can prove that the source
and dest are references, and promote this cast to an
unchecked_ref_cast bitcast. There is no dynamic check that the
references types are compatible.
This differs from unsafeDownCast in two ways:
(1) The source and dest types are not statically typed
AnyObjects. Therefore, unsafeCastReference can be used when the
surrounding code dynamically handles both reference and nonreference
types.
(2) The source and dest also need not dynamically conform to AnyObject.
Either side of the cast may be a class existential. The primary
requirement is that the source and dest refer to the same reference
counted object.

We now have dedicated tags for Swift on Apple operating systems. They are called: VM_MEMORY_SWIFT_RUNTIME and VM_MEMORY_SWIFT_METADATA.
Let's make use of them. This would allow tools like Instruments provide a more detailed analysis and statistics.
For now, we only tag the metadata allocations, as this is the only place where we use mmap at the moment.

This was ... returning the same thing as the == operator.
Also, integrate the CoreMedia overlay tests from
rdar://problem/20926198, which caught this problem, and port it
to StdlibUnittest.

'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.

This avoids unnecessary address-taking. Instead use the builtin that directly
supports unsafe casts. The optimizer now follows clear rules for
Builtin.reinterpretCast (so it's safe to use) and knows how to optimize it.

Instead of Optional entries use a third bitmap array to mark whether an entry is
valid. This representation saves space (because individual entries don't have a
alignment padding slack) and simplifies ARC's job leading to better performance.

After this commit, swift_retain will return no reference and LLVMARCContract pass is modified NOT to rewrite
swift_retain_noresult to old swift_retain which forwarded the reference.
