Implement IRGen for RefElementAddr so that class accessors work. Add a loadUnmanaged method to TypeInfo classes so that we can populate Explosions without accruing unwanted cleanups.

I had thought that we could get away with letting the
runtime figure out that these offsets were invalid (and
thus recompute them), but it turns out that the runtime
has some basic consistency requirements: basically, it
expects the ivars to have been correctly laid out, and
it merely slides them around according to the layout of
the superclass.
Swift SVN r3747
The test changes are that we're setting a class body on
some types that we weren't before. For some of these,
this is okay; for others, it's more questionable, but
ultimately not *harmful*.
Swift SVN r3746
By splitting out the expression used to allocate 'this' (which exists
in the AST but cannot be written in the Swift language proper), we
make it possible to emit non-allocating constructors for imported
Objective-C classes, which are the only classes that have an
allocate-this expression.
Swift SVN r3558
Notably, there is still no support for +1 return values,
so we'll leak when doing alloc/init and so on; but this gets
the fundamentals in place. A lot of the extra stuff in here
is dealing with mapping between metatypes and class objects.
Swift SVN r3425
The interesting thing here is that we need runtime support in
order to generate references to metatypes for classes, mostly
because normal ObjC classes don't have all the information we want
in a metatype (which for now just means the VWT pointer).
We'll need to be able to reverse this mapping when finding a
class pointer to hand off to, say, an Objective-C class method,
of course.
Swift SVN r3424
Note that the constructors we emit don't function yet, since they rely
on the not-yet-implemented class message sends to Objective-C
methods.
Swift SVN r3370
This implementation is very lame, because we don't currently have a
way to detect (in Sema or SIL) where 'this' gets uniquely assigned,
and turn that assignment into initialization.
Also, I'm starting to hate the name 'allocating' constructor, because
it's the opposite of the Itanium C++'s notion of the allocating
constructor. Will think up a better name.
Swift SVN r3347
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.

towards optimizing generic calls to derive things from the
'this' pointer, which is actually crucial for virtual
dispatch (to get all methods to agree about how the
implicit arguments are passed). Fix a number of assorted
bugs in metadata emission. Lots of assorted enhancements.
This was proving surprisingly difficult to actually tease
apart into smaller patches.

uncurrying level, which is something I find myself passing around
quite a bit. Make sure that it can propagate getter/setter
references in the same way.

the metadata objects for classes. This is currently only
done for methods defined in the main class body, and it's
(naturally) totally fragile, and it's screwed up in a
couple known ways w.r.t. generic classes: there's no
thunking when the overrider differs by abstraction from
the overridden method, and methods on classes currently
expect to get all the type arguments passed directly
and thus will disagree in signature from members of
non-generic classes. Also, of course, we're not using
any of this in the call infrastructure. But it's progress.
Swift SVN r2901
This is kindof a pain in a few places where the type system
doesn't propagate canonicality. Also, member initializations
are always direct-initializations and so are allowed to use
explicit constructors, which is a hole in our canonicality
tracking. But overall I like the idea of always working
with canonical types.
Swift SVN r2893
In particular, prepare for storing real v-table-like information
in the heap metadata. Give the metadata object proper linkage
and emit it as part of emitting the class.
Adjust the manglings of constructors and destructors while I'm
at it.
