By design, things with shared linkage are allowed to have definitions in different TUs, and we're supposed to pick one when linking or merging modules.
Code may end up indirectly using a witness table for a Clang-imported type by inlining code that used the conformance from another module, in which case we need to ensure we have a local definition at hand in the inlining module so we can have something to link against independently. This needs to be fixed from both sides:
- During serialization, serialize not only witness tables from the current module, but from Clang-imported modules too
- During deserialization, when the SILLinker walks a loaded module, ensure that all shared conformances get deserialized, including those from ApplyInsts and inherited/associated type protocol requirements.

We should always go through the Clang importer to reinstantiate them. Serializing them leads to the possibility of us ending up with multiple conformances with different identities that ought to be equivalent.

- During IRGen, when we emit a reference to a SILWitnessTable or SILFunction declaration with shared linkage, attempt to deserialize the definition on demand

Add serialization layouts for rare instructions that take extra attributes. We
can continue adding bits to these layout without affecting the layout of the
vast majority of instructions.
We still use the old layout for NameAliasType for builtin types, so
rename the Layout struct and corresponding code to describe its new
(more restricted) purpose.
Rather than relying on the NameAliasType we get by default for references
to non-generic typealiases, use BoundNameAliasType consistently to handle
references to typealiases that are formed by the type checker.
This doesn't have a specific effect now, because all of these places
are likely to only see NameAliasType, but it is refactoring with the
intent of eliminating NameAliasType entirely.
Introduce a new Type node, BoundNameAliasType, which describes a
reference to a typealias that requires substitutions to produce the
underlying type. This new type node is used both for references to
generic typealiases and for references to (non-generic) typealiases
that occur within generic contexts, e.g., Array<Int>.Element.
At present, the new type node is mainly useful in preserving type
sugar for diagnostics purposes, as well as being reflected in other
tools (indexing, code completion, etc.). The intent is to completely
replace NameAliasType in the future.
We have a predicate in ClassDecl, 'inheritsSuperclassInitializers',
that is used in a few places to decide if we need to do lookups into a
superclass to find all relevant initializers. That's useful, but the
actual work being computed in that function is almost identical to the
work done in figuring out whether the class has provided all its
superclass's /required/ initializers, which is part of the type
checker operation 'resolveImplicitConstructors'. Furthermore,
'inheritsSuperclassInitializers' is /already/ calling
'resolveImplicitConstructors' because those implicit constructors
might affect the result.
Simplify this whole mess and prevent further inconsistencies like the
previous commit by just making 'resolveImplicitConstructors' decide
whether superclass convenience initializers are inherited. It does
make that function more complicated, but with the benefit of not
having duplication anymore.
No intended user-visible change, except that this bit is now
serialized instead of being recomputed, which means the module format
changed.
A public subscript might have generic indexes that aren't unconditionally Hashable, or might use indexes that are retroactively made Hashable, so the property descriptor on the implementer's side can't always resiliently provide this information to the final instantiated KeyPath.
