This brings the David Owens benchmark from http://owensd.io/2015/06/27/performance-xcode7-beta-2.html from parity with simd.h-based C to 3x faster.
Before:
RenderGradient ([UInt32].withUnsafeMutablePointer (SIMD)) │ 7.035851 │ 6.304739 │ 9.815832 │ 1.212 │
After:
RenderGradient ([UInt32].withUnsafeMutablePointer (SIMD)) │ 2.318357 │ 2.223325 │ 2.697981 │ 0.1490 │
This also addresses rdar://problem/21574425, since Builtin.add_VecNxIntM isn't overflow-checked, and overflow checks really aren't wanted when working with vector types directly.
Reapplying now that Nadav's fixed the ARM64 SelectionDAG issue this exposed before, and Arnold's fixed
yet another SelectionDAG issue exposed after that.
Swift SVN r30006
Revert "simd overlay: Use LLVM vector types."
This reverts commit r29922 and r29924.
More arm64 instruction selection errors.

At one point we were considering it to be a replacement rather than an
overlay, but that's not where we are today. We can revisit that later.
Necessary for next commit.
