2767b51d61 Change Projection to support signed indices.
Change ProjectionIndex for ref_tail_addr to std::numeric_limits<int>::max();
This is necessary to disambiguate the tail elements from
ref_element_addr field zero.

71a642e51b stdlib, SIL optimizer: use the SIL copy-on-write representation in the Array types.
Use the new builtins for COW representation in Array, ContiguousArray and ArraySlice.
The basic idea is to strictly separate code which mutates an array buffer from code which reads from an array.
The concept is explained in more detail in docs/SIL.rst, section "Copy-on-Write Representation".

The main change is to use beginCOWMutation() instead of isUniquelyReferenced() and insert endCOWMutation() at the end of all mutating functions. Also, reading from the array buffer must be done differently, depending on if the buffer is in a mutable or immutable state.

All the required invariants are enforced by runtime checks - but only in an assert-build of the library: a bit in the buffer object side-table indicates if the buffer is mutable or not.

Along with the library changes, also two optimizations needed to be updated: COWArrayOpt and ObjectOutliner.

4da33e15ad Cleanup: move ArrayPropertyOpt out of COWArrayOpt.cpp.
These are separate, mostly unrelated passes. Putting them in their own
files makes it easier to read the code, understand how to control the
passes, and makes it possible to independently trace, and debug them.
