This enables removal of those bridging calls for dead parameters. Read-only lets the optimizer remove such a call if the result is not used.
Note that "readonly" means: no observable write operations. It's okay to allocate and initialize new objects.

This hoists out the retain into Swift code from the casting runtime and along a
few paths in the runtime allows us to eliminate a dynamic retain release.

This revises and expands upon documentation for the standard library's
unsafe pointer types. This includes typed and raw pointers and buffers,
the MemoryLayout type, and some other top-level functions.
We need the encode string to be able to construct NSValues using the core valueWithBytes:objCType: API. This builtin only works with concrete, @objc-representable types for now, which should be sufficient for a stdlib-internal API.
We want to be robust against unexpected `nil`s when bringing `id`s into Swift as `Any`. Add a function that builds an AnyObject?-in-an-Any when we unexpectedly receive a nil.
As of now:
* old APIs are just marked as `deprecated` not `unavaiable`. To make it
easier to co-operate with other toolchain repos.
* Value variant of API is implemented as public @private
`_ofInstance(_:)`.
Update for SE-0107: UnsafeRawPointer
This adds a "mutating" initialize to UnsafePointer to make
Immutable -> Mutable conversions explicit.
These are quick fixes to stdlib, overlays, and test cases that are necessary
in order to remove arbitrary UnsafePointer conversions.
Many cases can be expressed better up by reworking the surrounding
code, but we first need a working starting point.
* Migrate from `UnsafePointer<Void>` to `UnsafeRawPointer`.
As proposed in SE-0107: UnsafeRawPointer.
`void*` imports as `UnsafeMutableRawPointer`.
`const void*` imports as `UnsafeRawPointer`.
Occurrences of `UnsafePointer<Void>` are replaced with UnsafeRawPointer.
* Migrate overlays from UnsafePointer<Void> to UnsafeRawPointer.
This requires explicit memory binding in several places,
particularly in NSData and CoreAudio.
* Fix a bunch of test cases for Void->Raw migration.
* qsort takes IUO values
* Bridge `Unsafe[Mutable]RawPointer as `void [const] *`.
* Parse #dsohandle as UnsafeMutableRawPointer
* Update a bunch of test cases for Void->Raw migration.
* Trivial fix for the SceneKit test case.
* Add an UnsafeRawPointer self initializer.
This is unfortunately necessary for assignment between types imported from C.
* Tiny simplification of the initializer.
* Migrate from `UnsafePointer<Void>` to `UnsafeRawPointer`.
