Motivated by need for protocol-based dynamic dispatch, which hasn't been possible in Embedded Swift due to a full ban on existentials. This lifts that restriction but only for class-bound existentials: Class-bound existentials are already (even in desktop Swift) much more lightweight than full existentials, as they don't need type metadata, their containers are typically 2 words only (reference + wtable pointer), don't incur copies (only retains+releases).
Included in this PR:
[x] Non-generic class-bound existentials, executable tests for those.
[x] Extension methods on protocols and using those from a class-bound existential.
[x] RuntimeEffects now differentiate between Existential and ExistentialClassBound.
[x] PerformanceDiagnostics don't flag ExistentialClassBound in Embedded Swift.
[x] WTables are generated in IRGen when needed.
Left for follow-up PRs:
[ ] Generic classes support
Define the possible runtime effects of an instruction in an enum `RuntimeEffect`.
Add a new utility `swift:getRuntimeEffect` to estimate the runtime effects of an instruction.
Also, add a mechanism to validate the correctness of the analysis in IRGen: annotate all runtime functions in RuntimeFunctions.def with the actual effect what the runtime function has or can have. Then check if the effects of emitted runtime functions for an instruction match what `getRuntimeEffect` predicts.
This check is only enabled on demand by defining the CHECK_RUNTIME_EFFECT_ANALYSIS macro in RuntimeEffect.h
