53bfc767a3 SIL: Track target formal type for casts
SIL type lowering erases DynamicSelfType, so we generate
incorrect code when casting to DynamicSelfType. Fixing this
requires a fair amount of plumbing, but most of the
changes are mechanical.

Note that the textual SIL syntax for casts has changed
slightly; the target type is now a formal type without a '$',
not a SIL type.

Also, the unconditional_checked_cast_value and
checked_cast_value_br instructions now take the _source_
formal type as well, just like the *_addr forms they are
intended to replace.

af83492a45 IRGen: Lazily emit reflection field descriptors
Previously even if a type's metadata was optimized away, we would still
emit a field descriptor, which in turn could reference nominal type
descriptors for other types via symbolic references, etc.

4d4c194760 IRGen: Clean up and fix lazy metadata emission for reflection
We were wastefully emitting an accessor if a field had a type, for
example if my field type was (() -> (X, Array<Y>>) we would force
the emission of a function to construct (() -> (X, Array<Y>)) even
though all we care about is the type metadata for X and Y.

Conversely, we would skip the field type if it contained an
archetype, even if it otherwise contained metadata that we need
to force to emit, for instance something like (T, X) where T is
a generic parameter and X is a nominal type.

A final side effect is we no longer try to emit type metadata for
one-element tuples when emitting enum payload metadata, which is
something I want to assert against.
