This is necessary to be able to properly stash values with nontrivial lowerings, such as metatypes and functions, inside existential containers. Modify SILGen to lower values to the proper abstraction level before storing them in an existential container. Part of the fix for rdar://problem/18189508, though runtime problems still remain when trying to actually dynamicCast out a metatype from an Any container.

- Split getSelfTypeForDynamicLookup into two pieces, and generalize it
to work on non-loadable protocols.
- Change dynamic_method_branch to take its argument as a protocol of any
protocol type, instead of as something of UnownObject type.
- Teach emitForcedDynamicMemberRef to only do its peephole optimization for
@objc cases, since it is special behavior of objc_msgSend.
- enhance emitDynamicPartialApply & emitDynamicMemberRefExpr to emit the
proper project_existential instruction (not a _ref) when dealing with a
non-classbound protocol.
Change the verifier to allow DynamicMethodBranchInst to work on non-@objc
protocol members.
This eliminates a bunch of pointless unchecked_ref_cast's in the generated
SIL for existing code, but this got squashed at IRGen time anyway, so no
real change for anything that sema permits.
Swift SVN r21519
when type checking a reference to an optional requirement (producing
a dynamic_member_ref), downcast the receiver to the protocol in question
instead of to AnyObject. At SILGen time, we do an unchecked_ref_cast anyway,
and this is a more general solution to the problem it is trying to solve.

This only tackles the protocol case (<rdar://problem/17510790>); it
does not yet generalize to an arbitrary "class" requirement on either
existentials or generics.

attribute is a "modifier" of a decl, not an "attribute" and thus shouldn't
be spelt with an @ sign. Teach the parser to parse "@foo" but reject it with
a nice diagnostic and a fixit if "foo" is a decl modifier.
Move 'dynamic' over to this (since it simplifies some code), and switch the
@optional and @required attributes to be declmodifiers (eliminating their @'s).
