checked_cast_br promises to maintain RC identity, but a cast from an ErrorType-conforming class to NSError may change the RC identity by bridging. Make sure that potential class-to-NSError casts go through the indirect cast entry points for now. The runtime implementation still needs to be fixed to handle the class-to-NSError case, but this is part of rdar://problem/21116814.

Modules occupy a weird space in the AST now: they can be treated like
types (Swift.Int), which is captured by ModuleType. They can be
treated like values for disambiguation (Swift.print), which is
captured by ModuleExpr. And we jump through hoops in various places to
store "either a module or a decl".
Start cleaning this up by transforming Module into ModuleDecl, a
TypeDecl that's implicitly created to describe a module. Subsequent
changes will start folding away the special cases (ModuleExpr ->
DeclRefExpr, name lookup results stop having a separate Module case,
etc.).
Note that the Module -> ModuleDecl typedef is there to limit the
changes needed. Much of this patch is actually dealing with the fact
that Module used to have Ctx and Name public members that now need to
be accessed via getASTContext() and getName(), respectively.

Add more checks and logic into emitSuccessfulIndirectUnconditionalCast and emitSuccessfulScalarUnconditionalCast, so that its clients in sil-combine can be simplified by avoiding looking into special cases.

The logic for different special cases of type casting is spread over multiple places currently. This patch simply re-factors some of that code (folding of of type casts using statically known protocol conformances) and moves it into one central place, which makes it easier to maintain. Plus, it allows other clients of DynamicCasts benefit from it as well, e.g. the inliner can use this now. NFC.

unconditional_dynamic_cast_addr instruction.
Also, fix some major semantic problems with the
existing specialization of unconditional dynamic
casts by handling optional types and being much
more conservative about deciding that a cast is
infeasible.
This commit regresses specialization slightly by
failing to turn indirect dynamic casts into scalar
ones when possible; we can fix that easily enough
in a follow-up.
