conversion failures, making a bunch of diagnostics more specific and useful.
UnavoidableFailures can be very helpful, but they can also be the first constraint
failure that the system happened to come across... which is not always the most
meaningful one. CSDiag's expr processing machinery has a generally better way of
narrowing down which ones make the most sense.

- Have DiagnosticEngine produce "aka" annotations for sugared types.
- Fix the "optional type '@lvalue C?' cannot be used as a boolean; test for '!= nil' instead"
diagnostic to stop printing @lvalue noise.

facilities used by operators etc. This required a bunch of changes to make
the diagnostics changes strictly an improvement:
- Teach the new path about calls to TypeExprs.
- Teach evaluateCloseness some simple things about varargs.
- Make the generic diagnosis logic produce a better error when there is
exactly one match.
Overall, the resultant diagnostics are a step forward: we now produce candidate
set notes more uniformly, and the messages about some existing ones are
more specific. This is just another stepping stone towards progress though.

value member constraints do.
This fixes:

before we'd produce:
t.swift:3:10: error: '[Int]?' does not have a member named 'Generator'

now we produce:
t.swift:3:10: error: value of optional type '[Int]?' not unwrapped; did you mean to use '!' or '?'?
for x in array {

Inference of type witnesses for associated types was previously
implemented as part of value witness matching in the constraint
solver. This led to a number of serious problems, including:
- Recursion problems with the solver hunting for a type witness,
which triggers more attemts to match value witnesses...
- Arbitrarily crummy attempts to break the recursion causing
type-check failures in fun places.
- Ordering dependencies abound: different results depending on which
value witnesses were satisfied first, failures because of the order
in which we attempted to infer type witnesses, etc.
This new implementation of type witness inference uses a separate pass
that occurs whenever we're looking for any type witness, and solves
all of the type witnesses within a given conformance
simultaneously. We still look at potential value witnesses to infer
type witnesses, but we match them structurally, without invoking the
constraint solver.
There are a few caveats to this implementation:
* We're not currently able to infer type witnesses from value
witnesses that are global operators, so some tricks involving global
operators (*cough* ~> *cough*) might require some manually-specified
type witnesses. Note that the standard library doesn't include any
such cases.
* Yes, it's another kind of solver. At simple one, fortunately.
On the other hand, this implementation should be a big step forward:
* It's far more predictable, order-invariant, and non-recursive.
* The diagnostics for failures to infer type witnesses have
improved.

This was because the ambiguity between c-style and foreach loops wasn't being
properly handled. Use the canParsePattern() logic to handle this in full
generality.
Since that logic was unused, dust it off and clean it up a bit. Similarly,
remove some old vestigates of default argument parsing in tuples and
old-syntax array handling.
Swift SVN r26164
* Lift NormalProtocolConformance::hasTypeWitness() to
ProtocolConformance. This method can be used to determine whether a
potentially invalid conformance has a particular type witness.
* ProtocolConformance::getWitness() may return nullptr if the witness
does not exist.
* In TypeChecker::getWitnessType(), don't complain that a builtin
protocol is broken if it's the conformance that's broken.
* ConformanceChecker should only emit diagnostics from within calls to
checkConformance().
* TypeChecker::conformsToProtocol() now returns true if the type
has a declared conformance to the protocol, regardless of whether the
conformance is valid. Clients must check the validity of the
ProtocolConformance themselves if necessary.

Most tests were using %swift or similar substitutions, which did not
include the target triple and SDK. The driver was defaulting to the
host OS. Thus, we could not run the tests when the standard library was
not built for OS X.

These changes make the following improvements to how we generate diagnostics for expression typecheck failure:
- Customizing a diagnostic for a specific expression kind is as easy as adding a new method to the FailureDiagnosis class,
and does not require intimate knowledge of the constraint solver’s inner workings.
- As part of this patch, I’ve introduced specialized diagnostics for call, binop, unop, subscript, assignment and inout
expressions, but we can go pretty far with this.
- This also opens up the possibility to customize diagnostics not just for the expression kind, but for the specific types
involved as well.
- For the purpose of presenting accurate type info, partially-specialized subexpressions are individually re-typechecked
free of any contextual types. This allows us to:
- Properly surface subexpression errors.
- Almost completely avoid any type variables in our diagnostics. In cases where they could not be eliminated, we now
substitute in "_".
- More accurately indicate the sources of errors.
- We do a much better job of diagnosing disjunction failures. (So no more nonsensical ‘UInt8’ error messages.)
- We now present reasonable error messages for overload resolution failures, informing the user of partially-matching
parameter lists when possible.

Swift SVN r23782
Start capitalizing on some of the new diagnostic machinery in a few different ways:
- When mining constraints for type information, utilize constraints "favored" by the overload resolution process.
- When printing type variables, if the variable was created by opening a literal expression, utilize the literal
default type or conformance if possible.
- Utilize syntactic information when crafting diagnostics:
- If the constraint miner can produce a better diagnostic than the recorded failure, diagnose via constraints.
- Factor in the expression kind when choosing which types to include in a diagnostic message.
- Start customizing diagnostics based on the amount of type data available.
What does all this mean?
- Fewer type variables leaking into diagnostic messages.
- Far better diagnostics for overload resolution failures. Specifically, we now print proper argument type data
for failed function calls.
- No more "'Foo' is not convertible to 'Foo'" error messages
- A greater emphasis on type data means less dependence on the ordering of failed constraints. This means fewer
inscrutable diagnostics complaining about 'UInt8' when all the constituent expressions are of type Float.
So we still have a ways to go, but these changes should greatly improve the number of head-scratchers served up
by the type checker.

Mechanically add "Type" to the end of any protocol names that don't end
in "Type," "ible," or "able." Also, drop "Type" from the end of any
associated type names, except for those of the *LiteralConvertible
protocols.
There are obvious improvements to make in some of these names, which can
be handled with separate commits.
Fixes <rdar://problem/17165920> Protocols `Integer` etc should get
uglier names.

This change pulls the handling of the element pattern and sequence of
a for-each loop into a single constraint system, so that we get type
inference between the two. Among other things, this allows one to
infer generic arguments within the element pattern from the sequence's
element type as well as allowing type annotations or the form of the
element pattern to affect overload resolution and generic argument
deduction for the sequence itself.
