41aebf8e5a IRGen: Simplify NominalMetadataVisitor's treatment of generic requirements
We don't need to substitute the superclass type as we walk up a
class hierarchy, or look up the generic parameters and conformances
to check if they're concrete, since we're always just emitting
null pointers in place of the generic parameters and requirements,
to be filled at runtime.

Also, don't leave space for generic parameters and requirements from
Objective-C superclasses, since that's not how they're represented.

dff0031b02 Apply generic metadata patterns to all types and change their layout.
The layout changes to become relative-address based.  For this to be
truly immutable (at least on Darwin), things like the RO data patterns
must be moved out of the pattern header.  Additionally, compress the
pattern header so that we do not include metadata about patterns that
are not needed for the type.

Value metadata patterns just include the metadata kind and VWT.

The design here is meant to accomodate non-default instantiation
patterns should that become an interesting thing to support in the
future, e.g. for v-table specialization.

a7c5c80799 Compute class metadata bounds solely from class-descriptor chain information.
Change the "metadata base offset" variable into a "class metadata bounds"
variable that contains the base offset and the +/- bounds on the class.
Link this variable from the class descriptor when the class has a resilient
superclass; otherwise, store the +/- bounds there.  Use this variable to
compute the immediate-members offset for various runtime queries.  Teach the
runtime to fill it in lazily and remove the code to compute it from the
generated code for instantiation.  Identify generic arguments with the start
of the immediate class metadata members / end of the {struct,enum} metadata
header and remove the generic-arguments offset from generic type descriptors.

3ab5b6fa19 IRGen/Runtime: Remove parent field from type metadata
We no longer need this for anything, so remove it from metadata
altogether. This simplifies logic for emitting type metadata and
makes type metadata smaller.

We still pass the parent metadata pointer to type constructors;
removing that is a separate change.

4e48bc0ff7 Cache type-metadata layouts instead of using scanners everywhere. NFC.
Also counts as incremental work towards metadata resilience.

003bd81b86 Rename FooMetadataLayout to FooMetadataVisitor. NFC.
The *Layout namespace is more fitting for a structure that actually
holds information about the layout.
