This includes:
- bumping the SWIFT_SYMBOLGRAPH_FORMAT_MINOR version
- introduction of the "swift.extension" symbol and "extensionTo" relationship
- adding support for ExtensionDecl to the Symbol class
- adding a "typeKind" field to the symbol's extension mixin which indicates what kind
of symbol was extended
- intoduction of the -emit-extension-block-symbols flag, which enables the behavior
outlined below
- adaptions to SymbolGraphASTWalker that ensure a swift.extension symbol is emitted
for each extension to a type that does not exist in the local symbol graph
- adaptions to SymbolGraph and SymbolGraphASTWalker that ensure member and conformance
relationships are correctly associated with the swift.extension symbol instead of
the original type declaration's (extended nominal's) symbol where applicable
- adaptions to SymbolGraphASTWalker that ensure swift.extension symbols are connected
to their respective extended nominal's symbol using an extensionTo relationship
Testing:
- adds SymbolGraph tests that test behavior only relevant in
-emit-extension-block-symbols mode
- adapts some SymbolGraph tests to additionally test similar behavior for
extensions to external types in -emit-extension-block-symbols mode
- adapts some SymbolGraph tests to (additionally or exclusively) test the
behavior with -emit-extension-block-symbols mode enabled
Bugfixes:
- fixes a bug where some conformsTo relationships implicated by the conformances
declared on an extension to an external type were not emitted
(see test/SymbolGraph/Relationships/ConformsTo/Indirect.swift)
Further changes:
- documents the strategy for naming and associating children declared in extensions
to typealiases (see test/SymbolGraph/Relationships/MemberOf/Typealias.swift,
test/SymbolGraph/Symbols/Names.swift)
Symbol graph files are processed per platform--documentation for symbols that
are unconditionally unavailable or obsoleted on a platform shouldn't be shown
for that same platform.
Also, removes `isUnconditionallyUnavailable` from the JSON format. If it's
unconditionally unavailable, it won't show up at all.

When a module extends a type from another module, serialize those symbols into
separated files dedicated to those extended modules. This makes it easier to
ingest and categorize those symbols under the extended module if desired.

Adds a tool `swift-symbolgraph-extract` that reads an existing Swift
module and prints a platform- and language-agnostic JSON description of
the module, primarly for documentation.
Adds a small sub-library `SymbolGraphGen` which houses the core
implementation for collecting relevant information about declarations.
The main entry point is integrated directly into the driver as a mode:
the tool is meant to be run outside of the normal edit-compile-run/test
workflow to avoid impacting build times.
Along with common options for other tools, unique options include
`pretty-print` for debugging, and a `minimum-access-level` options for
including internal documentation.
A symbol graph is a directed graph where the nodes are symbols in a
module and the edges are relationships between them. For example, a
`struct S` may have a member `var x`. The graph would have two nodes for
`S` and `x`, and one "member-of" relationship edge. Other relationship
kinds include "inherits-from" or "conforms to". The data format for a
symbol graph is still under development and may change without notice
until a specificiation and versioning scheme is published.
Various aspects about a symbol are recorded in the nodes, such as
availability, documentation comments, or data needed for printing the
shapes of declarations without having to understand specifics about the
langauge.
Implicit and public-underscored stdlib declarations are not included by
default.
