We no longer create intermediate NSString copies to compare and hash swift
Strings. Instead we call directly into the ICU library.
I measured a 1.2 to 2x improvement on dictionary benchmarks as a result of this.
The SuperChars benchmark is also about 1.2x faster because of this.
Pure ASCII comparison has gotten a little bit slower (20% on a pure comparison
micro-benchmark) because we no longer do a memcmp. Doing a memcmp on ASCII is
not the same as the default unicode collation. Instead we have to a string scan.
The default unicode collation does not order like ASCII does and ignores
characters (for example the \0 character).

getBytes still lacks the ability to take an optional buffer, but Ali
agrees that we can leave that off for this release in light of the fact
that we have lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding.

containsString and localizedCaseInsensitiveContainsString were
introduced in 10.10, release-noted, but never
documented (<rdar://22236574>), so we missed them.
Fixes <rdar://18776075> String.containsString doesn't work in Swift

- Remove free Swift functions for advance and distance and replace
them with protocol extension methods:
- advancedBy(n)
- advancedBy(n, limit:)
- distanceTo(end)
- Modernize the Index tests
- Use StdlibUnittest
- Test for custom implementation dispatch
Perf impact: No significant changes reported in the
Swift Performance Measurement Tool.

...replacing it with the new, after passing API review!
* The lazy free function has become a property.
* Before we could extend protocols, we lacked a means for value types to
share implementations, and each new lazy algorithm had to be added to
each of up to four types: LazySequence, LazyForwardCollection,
LazyBidirectionalCollection, and LazyRandomAccessCollection. These
generic adapters hid the usual algorithms by defining their own
versions that returned new lazy generic adapters. Now users can extend
just one of two protocols to do the same thing: LazySequenceType or
LazyCollectionType.
* To avoid making the code duplication worse than it already was, the
generic adapters mentioned above were used to add the lazy generic
algorithms around simpler adapters such as MapSequence that just
provided the basic requirements of SequenceType by applying a
transformation to some base sequence, resulting in deeply nested
generic types as shown here. Now, MapSequence is an instance of
LazySequenceType (and is renamed LazyMapSequence), and thus transmits
laziness to its algorithms automatically.
* Documentation comments have been rewritten.
* The .array property was retired
* various renamings
* A bunch of Gyb files were retired.

These types are leftovers from the early pre-1.0 times when Int and UInt
were always 64-bit on all platforms. They serve no useful purpose
today. Int and UInt are defined to be word-sized and should be used
instead.

The rule changes are as follows:
* All functions (introduced with the 'func' keyword) have argument
labels for arguments beyond the first, by default. Methods are no
longer special in this regard.
* The presence of a default argument no longer implies an argument
label.
The actual changes to the parser and printer are fairly simple; the
rest of the noise is updating the standard library, overlays, tests,
etc.
With the standard library, this change is intended to be API neutral:
I've added/removed #'s and _'s as appropriate to keep the user
interface the same. If we want to separately consider using argument
labels for more free functions now that the defaults in the language
have shifted, we can tackle that separately.

We have an SPI between the Swift compiler and Foundation based on the
SWIFT_SDK_OVERLAY_FOUNDATION_EPOCH preprocessor macro that allows us to
request the new API. rdar://20270080 tracks removing it.

This fixes rdar://problem/19656287. This is a work around while we do
not have a way to remove implicit bridging conversions.
This means comparing a String and an NSString will use NSString
comparison.
