Changes compared to the original version:
I fixed the 2 bugs and added a test for the so far undetected missing range check bug.
To keep the SIL simple (4 basic blocks for arr[x]) I extracted the slow path for getElement into a
non-inlinable function.
On the other hand I inlined _typeCheck into the slow-path function.
This speeds up NSArray accesses because now only a single objectAtIndex is required for both
type checking and element retrieving.
Update on performance: DeltaBlue is now only 12% better (and not 25%). I suspect this is because
now Arnold's tail duplication cannot detect the ObjC call in the slow path.

Now that we can check isNative and NoDTC (no deffered type check needed) with a single bit-mask operation,
it makes sense to have a single array property call for it.
I replaced the the semantics call array.props.needsElementTypeCheck with array.props.isNativeNoDTC,
which is the combination of isNative && !needsElementTypeCheck. I kept array.props.isNative, which is not used for now,
but might be useful in the future, e.g. for array operations which don't care about type checks.
The optimized SIL for a class array access arr[i] now contains the minimum of 4 basic blocks.
PerfTests show +25% for DeltaBlue and some improvemements for -Onone.

The standard library has grown significantly, and we need a new
directory structure that clearly reflects the role of the APIs, and
allows future growth.
See stdlib/{public,internal,private}/README.txt for more information.
