This performs the operation 'x.metatype' performs now. SILGen lowers it using the same logic as for MetatypeExpr--emit a static metatype for value types, or look up a dynamic metatype for class, archetype, and existential types.

The value semantics primitives load/move/assign/init/destroy lower trivially to SIL value semantics operators, and the bridge casting operations introduce r/r semantics that should be visible to the ARC optimizer, so move the lowering for these builtins up to SILGen. Add a BUILTIN_SIL_OPERATION metaprogramming macro to Builtins.def, and add a facility similar to IRGen's former SpecializedCallEmission so we can handle builtin call emissions as special cases.
This also sets up the framework for eventually reintroducing special-case handling of known functions like &&, ||, Bool.getLogicValue, Int.convertFromIntegerLiteral, etc. in SILGen.

+0.0 - ±0.0 == ±0.0, so the correct definition of '-x' is '-0.0 - x'. However, this would be infinitely recursive, so I added an 'fneg' builtin that lowers directly to 'fsub -0.0, %x', and redefined the unary - operators for floats in terms of it.

- Don't require "OverloadedBuiltinKind::" to be in the invocation
of a bunch of builtins for their specification of overload info.
Eliminating this makes the file fit in 80 columns.
- Eliminate a bunch of classifications that only classify one thing,
in favor of a "BUILTIN_MISC_OPERATION" dumping ground for all the
custom stuff. This eliminates a bunch of boilerplate.
No functionality change.

is really a deficiency in TypeInfo::initializeWithTake, which
is now virtual and not implemented in TypeInfo anymore. This
fixes rdar://problem/12153619.
While I'm at it, fix an inefficiency in how we were handling
ignored results of generic calls, and add 4 new builtins:
Builtin.strideof is like sizeof, but guarantees that it
returns a multiple of the alignment (i.e., like C sizeof,
it is the appropriate allocation size for members of an
array).
Builtin.destroy destroys something "in place"; previously
this was being simulated by moving and ignoring the result.
Builtin.allocRaw allocates raw, uninitialized memory, given
a size and alignment.
Builtin.deallocRaw deallocates a pointer allocated with
Builtin.allocRaw; it must be given the allocated size.

Builtin.ObjectPointer, and Builtin.RawPointer. I don't really like the way
these builtins are defined (specifically, the part where messing up
gives a mysterious IRGen error), but it's workable. <rdar://problem/11976323>.
