Pull the implicit 'Self' associated type out of the protocol and into
an implicitly-declared generic parameter list for the protocol. This
makes all of the methods of a protocol polymorphic, e.g., given
protocol P {
typealias Assoc
func getAssoc() -> Assoc
}
the type of P.getAssoc is:
<Self : P> (self : @inout P) -> () -> Self.Assoc
This directly expresses the notion that protocol methods are
polymorphic, even though 'Self' is always implicitly bound. It can be
used to simplify IRgen and some parts of the type checker, as well as
laying more of the groundwork for default definitions within
protocols as well as sundry other improvements to the generics
system.
There are a number of moving parts that needed to be updated in tandem
for this. In no particular order:
- Protocols always get an implicit generic parameter list, with a
single generic parameter 'Self' that conforms to the protocol itself.
- The 'Self' archetype type now knows which protocol it is
associated with (since we can no longer point it at the Self
associated type declaration).
- Protocol methods now get interface types (i.e., canonicalizable
dependent function types).
- The "all archetypes" list for a polymorphic function type does not
include the Self archetype nor its nested types, because they are
handled implicitly. This avoids the need to rework IRGen's handling
of archetypes for now.
- When (de-)serializing a XREF for a function type that has an
interface type, use the canonicalized interface type, which can be
meaningfully compared during deserialization (unlike the
PolymorphicFunctionType we'd otherwise be dealing with).
- Added a SIL-specific type attribute @sil_self, which extracts the
'Self' archetype of a protocol, because we can no longer refer to
the associated type "P.Self".

As discussed, this is an interim syntax for re-exports:
import [exported] Foundation
In the long run, we're probably going to use the same syntax as access
control for this, but that hasn't been designed yet.

The current implementation of dealloc_stack in IR-gen is a
no-op, but that's very much wrong for types with non-trivial
local allocation requirements, e.g. archetypes. So we need
to be able to do non-trivial code here. However, that means
modeling both the buffer pointer and the allocated address
in SIL.
To make this more type-safe, introduce a SIL-specific
'[local_storage] T' type that represents the required
allocation for locally storing a T. alloc_stack now returns
one of those in additon to a *T, and dealloc_stack expects
the former.
IR-gen still implements dealloc_stack as a no-op, but
that's now easy to fix.

Now that we have true serialized modules, the standard library can import
the Builtin module without any special direction (beyond -parse-stdlib),
and anyone can include those modules without special direction.

- Add the attribute to AnyFunctionType::ExtInfo.
- Propagate the attributes from DeclAttributes to AnyFunctionType for
FuncDecls in TypeCheckDecl.cpp.
- Make sure the new attribute is serialized.
The main missing pieces are checking the applicability of the type attributes
on the FuncDecl and teaching typechecker about conversions on types with
noreturn.

This causes the SourceLoader to recursively parse the imported module in standard
library mode, giving it access to the Builtin module.
This is all a terrible hack and should be ripped out with great victory someday, but
until we have binary modules that persist the build setting used to produce the
module, this is the best we can do.

We will handle Swift-function-to-ObjC-block bridging in SILGen as part of general Cocoa-to-Swift type bridging. Temporarily disable building swiftAppKit and tests that exercise block bridging until the new implementation lands.

During name binding, associate func decls with operator decls. When parsing SequenceExprs, look up operator decls to determine associativity and precedence of infix operators. Remove the infix_left and infix_left attributes, and make the infix attribute a simple declared attribute [infix] with no precedence.
Operator decls are resolved as follows:
- If an operator is declared in the same module as the use, resolve to the declaration in the current module.
- Otherwise, import operator declarations from all imported modules. If more than one declaration is imported for the operator and they conflict, raise an ambiguity error. If they are equivalent, pick one arbitrarily.
This allows operator declarations within the current module to override imported declarations if desired or to disambiguate conflicting operator declarations.
I've updated the standard library and the tests. stdlib2 and some of the examples still need to be updated.

By splitting out the expression used to allocate 'this' (which exists
in the AST but cannot be written in the Swift language proper), we
make it possible to emit non-allocating constructors for imported
Objective-C classes, which are the only classes that have an
allocate-this expression.
Swift SVN r3558
Currently only used for parsing. The immediate intent of these attributes is
to have them behave like [objc] for the purpose of emitting method
implementations; however, they are semantically distinct and should only be
used to expose outlets and actions to Interface Builder.
Swift SVN r3416
This implementation is very lame, because we don't currently have a
way to detect (in Sema or SIL) where 'this' gets uniquely assigned,
and turn that assignment into initialization.
Also, I'm starting to hate the name 'allocating' constructor, because
it's the opposite of the Itanium C++'s notion of the allocating
constructor. Will think up a better name.

A user-defined conversion function is an instance method that accepts
an empty tuple and returns a value of the type we're converting to,
has the [conversion] attribute, and is named __conversion. The last of
these restrictions is a temporary hack to work around our inability to
perform a lookup across all extensions for "every function with the
conversion attribute", and shouldn't last too long.
As in C++, we only get one user-defined conversion function. Unlike in
C++, a constructor is not (and cannot) be a conversion function.
Introduce NSString <-> String conversion functions, but leave the
runtime implementations as stubs for Dave to fill in.

applies to operators whose first parameter is [byref]. Assignments
must return Void, and have their first arguments implicitly treated as
an lvalue.
As part of this, add the various C compound operators (+=, -=, *=, /=,
&=, |=, and ^=) to the standard library.
