Compiler:
- Add `Forward` and `Reverse` to `DifferentiabilityKind`.
- Expand `DifferentiabilityMask` in `ExtInfo` to 3 bits so that it now holds all 4 cases of `DifferentiabilityKind`.
- Parse `@differentiable(reverse)` and `@differentiable(_forward)` declaration attributes and type attributes.
- Emit a warning for `@differentiable` without `reverse`.
- Emit an error for `@differentiable(_forward)`.
- Rename `@differentiable(linear)` to `@differentiable(_linear)`.
- Make `@differentiable(reverse)` type lowering go through today's `@differentiable` code path. We will specialize it to reverse-mode in a follow-up patch.
ABI:
- Add `Forward` and `Reverse` to `FunctionMetadataDifferentiabilityKind`.
- Extend `TargetFunctionTypeFlags` by 1 bit to store the highest bit of differentiability kind (linear). Note that there is a 2-bit gap in `DifferentiabilityMask` which is reserved for `AsyncMask` and `ConcurrentMask`; `AsyncMask` is ABI-stable so we cannot change that.
_Differentiation module:
- Replace all occurrences of `@differentiable` with `@differentiable(reverse)`.
- Delete `_transpose(of:)`.

Add README files explaining the differentiable programming test suite.
Add lit.local.cfg files so individual tests do not need to add
`REQUIRES: asserts` in these directories:
- test/AutoDiff/compiler_crashers
- test/AutoDiff/compiler_crashers_fixed
Motivation: it is important for compiler crasher tests to require assertions
enabled, because many of these tests crash on compiler assertions.
`partial_apply` can be rewritten to `thin_to_thick_function` only if the
specialized callee is `@convention(thin)`.
This condition is newly exercised by the differentiation transform:
`{JVP,VJP}Emitter::visitApplyInst` generates argument-less `partial_apply`
with `@convention(method)` callees.
Resolves SR-12732.
