Take the existing CompatibilityOverride mechanism and generalize it so it can be used in both the runtime and Concurrency libraries. The mechanism is preprocessor-heavy, so this requires some tricks. Use the SWIFT_TARGET_LIBRARY_NAME define to distinguish the libraries, and use a different .def file and mach-o section name accordingly.
We want the global/main executor functions to be a little more flexible. Instead of using the override mechanism, we expose function pointers that can be set by the compatibility library, or by any other code that wants to use a custom implementation.

Most of the async runtime functions have been changed to not
expect the task and executor to be passed in. When knowing the
task and executor is necessary, there are runtime functions
available to recover them.
The biggest change I had to make to a runtime function signature
was to swift_task_switch, which has been altered to expect to be
passed the context and resumption function instead of requiring
the caller to park the task. This has the pleasant consequence
of allowing the implementation to very quickly turn around when
it recognizes that the current executor is satisfactory. It does
mean that on arm64e we have to sign the continuation function
pointer as an argument and then potentially resign it when
assigning into the task's resume slot.

os_unfair_lock is much smaller than pthread_mutex_t (4 bytes versus 64) and a bit faster.
However, it doesn't support condition variables. Most of our uses of Mutex don't use condition variables, but a few do. Introduce ConditionMutex and StaticConditionMutex, which allow condition variables and continue to use pthread_mutex_t.
On all other platforms, we continue to use the same backing mutex type for both Mutex and ConditionMutex.

Implement a new builtin, `cancelAsyncTask()`, to cancel the given
asynchronous task. This lowers down to a call into the runtime
operation `swift_task_cancel()`.
Use this builtin to implement Task.Handle.cancel().
There are things about this that I'm far from sold on. In
particular, I'm concerned that in order to implement escalation
correctly, we're going to have to add a status record for the
fact that the task is being executed, which means we're going
to have to potentially wait to acquire the status lock; overall,
that means making an extra runtime function call and doing some
atomics whenever we resume or suspend a task, which is an
uncomfortable amount of overhead.
The testing here is pretty grossly inadequate, but I wanted to
lay down the groundwork here.
