Include the initial implementation of _StringGuts, a 2-word
replacement for _LegacyStringCore. 64-bit Darwin supported, 32-bit and
Linux support in subsequent commits.
In grand LLVM tradition, the first step to redesigning _StringCore is
to first rename it to _LegacyStringCore. Subsequent commits will
introduce the replacement, and eventually all uses of the old one will
be moved to the new one.

* Eradicate IndexDistance associated type, replacing with Int everywhere
* Consistently use Int for ExistentialCollection’s IndexDistance type.
* Fix test for IndexDistance removal
* Remove a handful of no-longer-needed explicit types
* Add compatibility shims for non-Int index distances
* Test compatibility shim
* Move IndexDistance typealias into the Collection protocol
* Unify the capitalization across all user-visible error messages (fatal errors, assertion failures, precondition failures) produced by the runtime, standard library and the compiler.
* Update some more tests to the new expectations.
- Update NSRange -> Range guidance
- Fix example in Optional
- Improve RangeExpression docs
- Fix issue in UnsafeRawBufferPointer.initializeMemory
- Code point -> scalar value most places
- Reposition the dot above the scripty `i'
- Fix ExpressibleByArrayLiteral code sample
This necessary for ensuring the property that String doesn't keep
inaccessible memory alive. For example, before this change,
String(s.dropFirst().unicodeScalars)
would compile and produce a String that owned inaccessible memory.
Now it no longer compiles.
String's view's SubSequences are the same as the Substring's
view. E.g. String.UnicodeScalarView.SubSequence is
Substring.UnicodeScalarView.
New compatibility inits added, to work around the fact that many
previously failable initializers are now non-failable.
This is a step along the way toward handling backward-compatiblity of UTF8View
slicing and preventing inadvertent creation of String instances that keep
inaccessible memory alive.
I failed to merge the upstream changes to swift-corelibs-foundation at the same
time as I merged that #9806, and it broke on linux. Going to get it right this
time.
