Add a `-min-runtime-version` option that can be used to avoid problems
when building on Linux and Windows where because the runtime isn't
part of the OS, availability doesn't solve the problem of trying to
build the compiler against an older runtime.
Also add functions to IRGen to make it easy to test feature
availability using both the runtime version and the existing Darwin
availability support.

Currently only arrays can be put into a read-only data section.
"Regular" classes have dynamically initialized metadata, which needs to be stored into the isa field at runtime.
Static read-only arrays didn't work when passed to ObjectiveC as NSArray.
The storage class of static read-only arrays doesn't carry information about the Element type.
The new `__SwiftDeferredStaticNSArray` is generic over the element type and doesn't have to rely on the element type information of the array storage.

Ensuring that conformances to such protocols must have their type metadata always emitted into the binary, regardless of wheter they are used or `public`.
Extend function type metadata with an entry for the thrown error type,
so that thrown error types are represented at runtime as well. Note
that this required the introduction of "extended" function type
flags into function type metadata, because we would have used the last
bit. Do so, and define one extended flag bit as representing typed
throws.
Add `swift_getExtendedFunctionTypeMetadata` to the runtime to build
function types that have the extended flags and a thrown error type.
Teach IR generation to call this function to form the metadata, when
appropriate.
Introduce all of the runtime mangling/demangling support needed for
thrown error types.
This change adds the following options to allow for greater control over the compiler's autolinking directive use:
- '-disable-autolink-library': equivalent to an existing '-disable-autolink-framework', this option takes a library name as input and ensures the compiler does not produce an autolink directive '-l<library-name>'.
- '-disable-autolink-frameworks': a boolean disable flag which turns off insertion of autolinking directives for all imported frameworks (of the type '-framework <framework-name>')
- '-disable-all-autolinking': a boolean disable flag which turns off insertion of *any* autolinking directives.

Using symbolic references instead of a text based mangling avoids the
expensive type descriptor scan when objective c protocols are requested.

In a per file compilation mode we want to use the file context -- which is
stored in the AssociatedContext -- rather than defaulting to the current Swift
Module context.

`ReadOnly, ArgMemOnly` previously meant `can only read argument memory`.
But with the rebranch changes, this became `(can only read *all* memory)
and (can read or write argument memory)`. Use `ArgMemReadOnly` for this
instead.
To expand on this, these attributes (prior to memory effects) used to be
split into two. There was the *kind* of access, eg.
```
readnone
readonly
writeonly
```
and the accessed *location*, eg.
```
argmemonly
inaccessiblememonly
inaccessiblemem_or_argmemonly
```
So `RuntimeFunctions.def` would use `ReadOnly, ArgMemOnly` to mean `can
only read argument memory`.
In the previous rebranch commits, this was changed such that `ReadOnly`
mapped to `MemoryEffectsBase::readOnly()` and `ArgMemOnly` to
`MemoryEffectsBase::argMemOnly()`.
And there lies the issue -
- `MemoryEffectsBase::readOnly()` == `MemoryEffectsBase(Ref)` ie. all
locations can only read
- `MemoryEffectsBase::argMemOnly()` == `MemoryEffectsBase(ArgMem,
ModRef)`, ie. can only access argument memory
But then OR'ing those together this would become:
```
ArgMem: ModRef, InaccessibleMem: Ref, Other: Ref
```
rather than the previously intended:
```
ArgMem: Ref, InaccessibleMem: NoModRef, Other: NoModRef
```
