Otherwise it can happen that e.g. specialization runs between CrossModuleSerializationSetup and serialization, resulting that an inlinable function references a shared function (which doesn't have a public linkage).
The solution is to move serialization right after CrossModuleSerializationSetup. But only do that if cross-module-optimization is enabled (it would be a disruptive change to move serialization in general).
In order for the cross-module optimization to work, it needs to generate
symbolic references, which were disabled in PE/COFF. This commit enables
them and marks some Reflection tests with XFAIL since
swift-reflection-dump still doesn't handle symbolic references.
This is a first version of cross module optimization (CMO).
The basic idea for CMO is to use the existing library evolution compiler features, but in an automated way. A new SIL module pass "annotates" functions and types with @inlinable and @usableFromInline. This results in functions being serialized into the swiftmodule file and thus available for optimizations in client modules.
The annotation is done with a worklist-algorithm, starting from public functions and continuing with entities which are used from already selected functions. A heuristic performs a preselection on which functions to consider - currently just generic functions are selected.
The serializer then writes annotated functions (including function bodies) into the swiftmodule file of the compiled module. Client modules are able to de-serialize such functions from their imported modules and use them for optimiations, like generic specialization.
The optimization is gated by a new compiler option -cross-module-optimization (also available in the swift driver).
By default this option is off. Without turning the option on, this change is (almost) a NFC.
