This allows the usage of the whole remark infrastructure developed in
LLVM, which includes a new binary format, metadata in object files, etc.
This gets rid of the YAMLTraits-based remark serialization and does the
plumbing for hooking to LLVM's main remark streamer.
For more about the idea behind LLVM's main remark streamer, see the
docs/Remarks.rst changes in https://reviews.llvm.org/D73676.
The flags are now:
* -save-optimization-record: enable remarks, defaults to YAML
* -save-optimization-record=<format>: enable remarks, use <format> for
serialization
* -save-optimization-record-passes <regex>: only serialize passes that
match <regex>.
The YAMLTraits in swift had a different `flow` setting for the debug
location, resulting in some test changes.
Requested by gottesmm during review.
Update the variable naming conventions to lower-camel.
Run clang-format.
I'm sure I missed some local variables somewhere--this was a best
effort.
We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of
years now. This makes the \brief markers into our comments
redundant. Since they are a visual distraction and we don't want to
encourage more \brief markers in new code either, this patch removes
them all.

Adds a combined API to output both debug message and optimization remarks.
The previously added test partial_specialization_debug.sil ensures that it's an
NFC for debug output.
This brings the capability from clang to save remarks in an external YAML files.
YAML files can be viewed with tools like the opt-viewer.
Saving the remarks is activated with the new option -save-optimization-record.
Similarly to -emit-tbd, I've only added support for single-compile mode for now.
In this case the default filename is determined by
getOutputFilenameFromPathArgOrAsTopLevel, i.e. unless explicitly specified
with -save-optimization-record-path, the file is placed in the directory of the
main output file as <modulename>.opt.yaml.
This allows reporting successful and unsuccessful optimizations similar to
clang/llvm.
This first patch adds support for the
options -Rpass=<pass-name-regex> -Rpass-missed=<pass-name-regex>. These allow
reporting successful/unsuccessful optimization on the compiler output for passes
specified by the regex. I've also added one missed and one passed remark type
to the inliner to test the infrastructure.
Clang also has the option of collecting these records in an external YAML data
file. This will be added in a later patch.
A few notes:
* The goal is to use this facility for both user-lever "performance" warnings
and expert-level performance analysis. There will probably be a flag in the
future differentiating the verbosity.
* The intent is match clang/llvm as much as it makes sense. On the other hand I
did make some changes. Unlike in llvm, the emitter is not a pass which
simplifies things. Also the remark class hierarchy is greatly simplified since
we don't derive from DiagnosticInfo. We also don't derive from Diagnostic to
support the streaming API for arbitrary named-value pairs.
* Currently function names are printed mangled which should be fixed.
