In order to allow this, I've had to rework the syntax of substituted function types; what was previously spelled `<T> in () -> T for <X>` is now spelled `@substituted <T> () -> T for <X>`. I think this is a nice improvement for readability, but it did require me to churn a lot of test cases.
Distinguishing the substitutions has two chief advantages over the existing representation. First, the semantics seem quite a bit clearer at use points; the `implicit` bit was very subtle and not always obvious how to use. More importantly, it allows the expression of generic function types that must satisfy a particular generic abstraction pattern, which was otherwise impossible to express.
As an example of the latter, consider the following protocol conformance:
```
protocol P { func foo() }
struct A<T> : P { func foo() {} }
```
The lowered signature of `P.foo` is `<Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> ()`. Without this change, the lowered signature of `A.foo`'s witness would be `<T> (@in_guaranteed A<T>) -> ()`, which does not preserve information about the conformance substitution in any useful way. With this change, the lowered signature of this witness could be `<T> @substituted <Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> () for <A<T>>`, which nicely preserves the exact substitutions which relate the witness to the requirement.
When we adopt this, it will both obviate the need for the special witness-table conformance field in SILFunctionType and make it far simpler for the SILOptimizer to devirtualize witness methods. This patch does not actually take that step, however; it merely makes it possible to do so.
As another piece of unfinished business, while `SILFunctionType::substGenericArgs()` conceptually ought to simply set the given substitutions as the invocation substitutions, that would disturb a number of places that expect that method to produce an unsubstituted type. This patch only set invocation arguments when the generic type is a substituted type, which we currently never produce in type-lowering.
My plan is to start by producing substituted function types for accessors. Accessors are an important case because the coroutine continuation function is essentially an implicit component of the function type which the current substitution rules simply erase the intended abstraction of. They're also used in narrower ways that should exercise less of the optimizer.
This provides a singular instruction for convert an unmanaged value to a ref,
then strong_retain it. I expanded the definition of UNCHECKED_REF_STORAGE to
include these copy like instructions. This instruction is valid in all SIL.
The reason why I am adding this instruction is that currently when we emit an
access to an unowned (unsafe) ivar, we use an unmanaged_to_ref and a strong
retain. This can look to the optimizer like a strong retain that can potentially
be optimized. By combining the two together into a new instruction, we can avoid
this potential problem since the pattern matching will break.
This is how we originally controlled whether or not we printed out ownership
annotations when we printed SIL. Since then, I have changed (a few months ago I
believe) the ownership model eliminator to know how to eliminate these
annotations from the SIL itself. So this hack can be removed.
As an additional benefit, this will let me rename -enable-sil-ownership to
-enable-sil-ownership-verifier. This will I hope eliminate confusion around this
option in the short term while I am preparing to work on semantic sil again.

This converts the instances of the pattern for which we have a proper
substitution in lit. This will make it easier to replace it
appropriately with Windows equivalents.
This is the lifetime ending variant of fix_lifetime. It is a lie to the
ownership verifier that a value is being consumed along a path. Its intention is
to be used to allow for the static verification of ownership in deallocating
deinits which for compatibility with objective-c have weird ownership behavior.
