Add objc_metatype_to_object and objc_existential_metatype_to_object to convert metatypes to AnyObject, and objc_protocol to get a reference to an @objc protocol descriptor as a Protocol class instance.

put the result in a different place.
WIP: no IRGen support yet.
This will eventually be the required form when casting
to an address-only type; the existing instructions will
have only scalar outputs.

An unsafe cast from a base to a derived class isn't really all that different from one from Builtin.NativeObject to an arbitrary class, so relax this pair of instructions to allow an arbitrary bitcast. This only combines the instructions; it doesn't attempt to simplify any codegen that was emitting round-trip casts before yet.

This allows the payload for a loadable enum to be unsafely projected without branching, enabling more enum optimizations when switch branches can be culled or when indirect enum code can be promoted.

This was part of the original weak design that
there was never any particular reason to rush the
implementation for. It's convenient to do this now
so that we can use it to implement Unmanaged<T> for
importing CF types.

Give us a way to formally represent autoreleases in SIL separate from autoreleased returns, allowing us to lifetime-extend inner pointer parameters the lazy way and hopefully clean up some asmname hacks in the stdlib implementation too.

Add project_block_storage, to project the capture storage from within a block_storage, and init_block_storage_header, to represent filling out the block header.

This is because I need them in ARCAnalysis.cpp and from a modeling
perspective it is no longer just going to be used just in AA since they
are of larger functionality.
