Witness tables for conformances that require runtime instantiation
should not be public, because it is an error to directly reference
such a symbol from outside the module.
Use a different mangling for witness table patterns and give them
non-public linkage.
Within conformance records, reference Objective-C class objects
indirectly so the runtime can update those references appropriately.
We don't need to do this for classes with Swift metadata.
Make all OBJC_CLASS_REF symbols object-local using "\01l", which
prevents the linker from producing incorrect relative addresses.

The allocation phase is guaranteed to succeed and just puts enough
of the structure together to make things work.
The completion phase does any component metadata lookups that are
necessary (for the superclass, fields, etc.) and performs layout;
it can fail and require restart.
Next up is to support this in the runtime; then we can start the
process of making metadata accessors actually allow incomplete
metadata to be fetched.
This is yet another waypoint on the path towards the final
generic-metadata design. The immediate goal is to make the
pattern a private implementation detail and to give the runtime
more visibility into the allocation and caching of generic types.
The key path pattern needs to include a reference to the external descriptor, along with hooks for lowering its type arguments and indices, if any. The runtime will need to instantiate and interpolate the external component when the key path object is instantiated.
While we're here, let's also reserve some more component header bytes for future expansion, since this is an ABI we're going to be living with for a while.
This is mostly intended to be used for testing at this point; in the
long run, we want to be using availability information to decide
whether to weak-link something or not. You'll notice a bunch of FIXMEs
in the test case that we may not need now, but will probably need to
handle in the future.
Groundwork for doing backward-deployment execution tests.

This new format more efficiently represents existing information, while
more accurately encoding important information about nested generic
contexts with same-type and layout constraints that need to be evaluated
at runtime. It's also designed with an eye to forward- and
backward-compatible expansion for ABI stability with future Swift
versions.
It queried for [transparent] [serialized] definitions and only had an effect
when the module was compiled with -Onone because we remove [serialized]
as part of the optimizer pipeline.
It was causing bad effects when the module we imported from was compiled
with -Onone:
The definition would be marked internal in said module.
and the importing module is compile with -O:
The definition would be marked as available_externally.
because neither would guaranteed the presence of a definition of the
imported symbol available to the importer.

Use the KeyPath implementation's new support for instantiating and dealing with captures to lower the generic context required to dispatch computed accessors with dependent generics.
Rather than pretend that the requirement signature of a protocol is a
full, well-formed generic signature that one can meaningfully query,
treat it as a flat set of requirements. Nearly all clients already did
this, but make it official. NFC
