I've put these fields on the class object for now, just
so we can at least theoretically update them. A superclass
that grew left rather than right could maybe even be made
to work with this schema, but probably not.

Set up a metadata cache for existential type metadata. Instantiate existential metadata by first sorting the protocol list, so that it is order invariant, precomputing the overall witness table count and class constraint of the composition so it can be cached in the existential metadata.
We still need to implement value witnesses for existential containers in the runtime before this is complete. We can at least test the uniquing and flags computations at this point.

The principal difficulty here is that we need accessing the
value witness table for a type to be an efficient operation,
but there (obviously) isn't a VWT field for ObjC classes.
Placing this field after the metatype would tend to bloat
metatypes by quite a bit. Placing it before is best, but
it introduces an unfortunate difference between the address
point of a metatype and the address of the global symbol.
That, however, can be fixed with appropriate linker support.
Still, for now this is rather unfortunately over-subtle.

1) Move the low-level runtime code into swift/runtime
2) Move the high-level "standard library" code into swift/stdlib
The key difference is that the 'runtime' contains language support logic
(like retain/release logic) that the compiler assumes to always exist
and may assume intimate details about the implementation. This library
will have intimate knowledge of the swift ABI.
In contrast, the 'stdlib' can be completely rewritten and the
language/compiler make little if any assumptions about it. It is
expected to reexport fundamental types and operators, and implement
fundamental policies (precedence, implicit conversions, etc).

1) Move httpd to examples where it belongs.
2) Build examples on a regular basis for now.
3) Move low-level runtime source to a sub directory.

swift_getGenericMetadata. Mostly ripped off clang's
support for same. I did not feel confident in pulling
over the CMake equivalents, so someone else will need to.
