Generic environments and archetypes can be expensive to deserialize
if they involve a generic signature not seen before.
Also, canonicalize the witness substitutions to eliminate type
aliases, and map them to interface types, which again are cheaper
to deserialize.
Introduced during the bring-up of the generics system in July, 2012,
Substitution (and SubstitutionList) has been completely superseded by
SubstitutionMap. R.I.P.
Replace two prominent uses of SubstitutionList, in ConcreteDeclRef and
Witness, with SubstitutionMap. Deal with the myriad places where we
now have substitution maps and need substitution lists (or vice versa)
caused by this change.
Overall, removes ~50 explicit uses of SubstitutionList (of ~400).
Deserializing a witness record in a conformance may fail if either of the requirement or witness changed name or type, most likely due to SDK modernization changes across Swift versions. When this happens, leave an opaque placeholder in the conformance to indicate that the witness exists but we don't get to see it. For expedience, right now this just witnesses the requirement to itself, so that code in the type checker or elsewhere that tries to ad-hoc devirtualize references to the requirement just gets the requirement back. Arguably, we shouldn't include the witness at all in imported conformances, since they should be an implementation detail, but that's a bigger, riskier change. This patch as is should be enough to address rdar://problem/31185053.
SubstitutionList is going to be a more compact representation of
a SubstitutionMap, suitable for inline allocation inside another
object.
For now, it's just a typedef for ArrayRef<Substitution>.
- The DeclContext versions of these methods have equivalents
on the DeclContext class; use them instead.
- The GenericEnvironment versions of these methods are now
static methods on the GenericEnvironment class. Note that
these are not made redundant by the instance methods on
GenericEnvironment, since the static methods can also be
called with a null GenericEnvironment, in which case they
just assert that the type is fully concrete.
- Remove some unnecessary #includes of ArchetypeBuilder.h
and GenericEnvironment.h. Now changes to these files
result in a lot less recompilation.
The witnesses in a NormalProtocolConformance have never been
completely serialized, because their substitutions involved a weird
mix of archetypes that blew up the deserialization code. So, only the
witness declarations themselves got serialized. Many clients (the type
checker, SourceKit, etc.) didn't need the extra information, but some
clients (e.g., the SIL optimizers) would end up recomputing this
information. Ick.
Now, serialize the complete Witness structure along with the AST,
including information about the synthetic environment, complete
substitutions, etc. This should obsolete some redundant code paths in
the SIL optimization infrastructure.
This (de-)serialization code takes a new-ish approach to serializing
the synthetic environment in that it avoids serializing any
archetypes. Rather, it maps everything back to interface types during
serialization, and deserialization forms a new generic environment
(with new archetypes!) on-the-fly, mapping deserialized types back
into that environment (and to those archetypes). This way, we don't
have to maintain identity of archetypes in the deserialization code,
and might get some better re-use of the archetypes.

Reimplement the witness matching logic used for generic requirements
so that it properly models the expectations required of the witness,
then captures the results in the AST. The new approach has a number of
advantages over the existing hacks:
* The constraint solver no longer requires hacks to try to tangle
together the innermost archetypes from the requirement with the
outer archetypes of the context of the protocol
conformance. Instead, we create a synthetic set of archetypes that
describes the requirement as it should be matched against
witnesses. This eliminates the infamous 'SelfTypeVar' hack.
* The type checker no longer records substitutions involving a weird
mix of archetypes from different contexts (see above), so it's
actually plausible to reason about the substitutions of a witness. A
new `Witness` class contains the declaration, substitutions, and all
other information required to interpret the witness.
* SILGen now uses the substitution information for witnesses when
building witness thunks, rather than computing all of it from
scratch. ``substSelfTypeIntoProtocolRequirementType()` is now gone
(absorbed into the type checker, and improved from there), and the
witness-thunk emission code is simpler. A few other bits of SILGen
got simpler because the substitutions can now be trusted.
* Witness matching and thunk generation involving generic requirements
and nested generics now works, based on some work @slavapestov was
already doing in this area.
* The AST verifier can now verify the archetypes that occur in witness substitutions.
* Although it's not in this commit, the `Witness` structure is
suitable for complete (de-)serialization, unlike the weird mix of
archetypes previously present.
Fixes rdar://problem/24079818 and cleans up an area that's been messy
and poorly understood for a very, very long time.
