This is a bit of a hodge-podge of related changes that I decided
weren't quite worth teasing apart:
First, rename the weak{Retain,Release} entrypoints to
unowned{Retain,Release} to better reflect their actual use
from generated code.
Second, standardize the names of the rest of the entrypoints around
unowned{operation}.
Third, standardize IRGen's internal naming scheme and API for
reference-counting so that (1) there are generic functions for
emitting operations using a given reference-counting style and
(2) all operations explicitly call out the kind and style of
reference counting.
Finally, implement a number of new entrypoints for unknown unowned
reference-counting. These entrypoints use a completely different
and incompatible scheme for working with ObjC references. The
primary difference is that the new scheme abandons the flawed idea
(which I take responsibility for) that we can simulate an unowned
reference count for ObjC references, and instead moves towards an
address-only scheme when the reference might store an ObjC reference.
(The current implementation is still trivially takable, but that is
not something we should be relying on.) These will be tested in a
follow-up commit. For now, we still rely on the bad assumption of
reference-countability.
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.

I asked that the patches were split up so I could do post commit review.
This reverts commit r32059.
This reverts commit r32058.
This reverts commit r32056.
This reverts commit r32055.
Swift SVN r32060
to remove reference forwarding for some of the ARC entry points. rdar://22724641. After this
commit, swift_retain will be the same as swift_retain_noresult, returning no reference.
LLVMARCContract pass is also modified NOT to rewrite swift_retain_noresult to the
old swift_retain which forwards the reference.
