use getTypeByMangledName when abstract metadata state is requested
This can significantly reduce the code size of apps constructing deeply
nested types with conditional conformances.
Requires a new runtime.

The TAPI_SWIFT_ABI_VERSION macro was never updated in sync with
IRGen::swiftVersion, so just expose that value through
irgen::getSwiftABIVersion() and use it in TBDGen.

On targets which support COMDAT (PE/COFF, ELF), use that to relax the
constraints on the emission of `-force-autolink-symbol` so that it is
possible to use that with `-incremental`.
Mark the section .swift1_autolink_entries as SHF_EXCLUDE
so the section will get dropped by the linker after linking the final
binary.
This section is used to save the flags needed for auto link and there
is no reason it should stay in the final linked binary.Mark the

This solves issue SR-11247
When we generate code that asks for complete metadata for a fully concrete specific type that
doesn't have trivial metadata access, like `(Int, String)` or `[String: [Any]]`,
generate a cache variable that points to a mangled name, and use a common accessor function
that turns that cache variable into a pointer to the instantiated metadata. This saves a bunch
of code size, and should have minimal runtime impact, since the demangling of any string only
has to happen once.
This mostly just works, though it exposed a couple of issues:
- Mangling a type ref including objc protocols didn't cause the objc protocol record to get
instantiated. Fixed as part of this patch.
- The runtime type demangler doesn't correctly handle retroactive conformances. If there are
multiple retroactive conformances in a process at runtime, then even though the mangled string
refers to a specific conformance, the runtime still just picks one without listening to the
mangler. This is left to fix later, rdar://problem/53828345.
There is some more follow-up work that we can do to further improve the gains:
- We could improve the runtime-provided entry points, adding versions that don't require size
to be cached, and which can handle arbitrary metadata requests. This would allow for mangled
names to also be used for incomplete metadata accesses and improve code size of some generic
type accessors. However, we'd only be able to take advantage of the new entry points in
OSes that ship a new runtime.
- We could choose to always symbolic reference all type references, which would generally reduce
the size of mangled strings, as well as make runtime demangling more efficient, since it wouldn't
need to hit the runtime caches. This would however require that we be able to handle symbolic
references across files in the MetadataReader in order to avoid regressing remote mirror
functionality.
on behalf of the debugger. The debugger will read the LinkLibrary's
from all the modules it sees, and hand load all the required dependencies,
and since the symbol is weak it doesn't even tell us whether a
required dependency is missing. So it serves no purpose in this case.

dynamic-replacement runtime functions.
The recent change of how we do dynamic replacements added 2 new runtime
functions. This patch adds those functions to the Compatibility50 static
archive.
This will allow backward deployment to a swift 5.0 runtime.
Patch by Erik Eckstein with a modification to call the standard
libraries implementation (marked as weak) when it is available.
This ensures we can change the implementation in the future and are not
ABI locked.

When backward deploying to an OS that may not have these entry points, weak-link them so that they
can be used conditionally in availability contexts that check for them.
rdar://problem/50731151
When Swift always copied the overlay dylibs into app bundles, it was OK
for these symbol references to be non-weak, but with the overlays now
part of the OS on Apple platforms, we need to handle backward deployment
scenarios where a new overlay does not exist on an old OS version.
A weak reference will serve to pull in the overlay dylib if it exists,
without causing a fatal error if it does not. rdar://problem/50110036
Create two new semantic names: `ExternalImport` and `ExternalExport`.
These are for symbols which are either imported from an external module
or exported for consumption by external modules.
Now that DLLStorage is only applied when needed, always pass the correct
DLLStorage. The IRLinkage applicator will determine if the DLLStorage
should be applied or not.
