And use them to decide if an llvm intrinsic apply instruction can be considered dead.
(This is a hack because it uses LLVM Global context. However, we already use
this approach elsewhere.)

Make the functions support a wider range of builtins and store types to make
it possible.
This is an optimization - the cached ID will be used for builtin identification,
instead of retrieval of the string name and using it as the key.
Swift SVN r7390
This adds builtin types Builtin.VecNxT, where N is a natural number
and T is a builtin type, which map down to the LLVM type <N x T>.
Update varous builtins to support vector arguments, e.g., binary
operations, comparisons, negation. Add InsertElement and
ExtractElement builtins for vectors.
On top of these builtins, add Vec4f and Vec4b structs to the standard
library, which provide 4xFloat and 4xBool vectors, respectively, with
basic support for arithmetic. These are mostly straw men, to be burned
down at our leisure.
Some issues as yet unresolved:
- Comparisons of Vec4f'ss are producing bogus Vec4b's, which I
haven't tracked down yet.
- We still don't support the shuffle builtin, although it should be
easy
- More testing!
Swift SVN r5820
allows access to any LLVM IR intrinsic that has types that can be mapped
to swift types. Notably, this excludes vector stuff, but there is a lot
of other goodness that can now be poked at.
