libSyntax nodes don't maintain absolute source location on each
individual node. Instead, the absolute locations are calculated on
demand with a given root by accumulating the length of all the other
nodes before the target node. This bridging is important for issuing
diagnostics from libSyntax entities.
With the observation that our current implementation of the source
location calculation has multiple bugs, this patch re-implemented this
bridging by using the newly-added syntax visitor. Also, we moved the function
from RawSyntax to Syntax for better visibility.
To test this source location calculation, we added a new action in
swift-syntax-test. This action parses a given file as a
SourceFileSyntax, calculates the absolute location of the
EOF token in the SourceFileSyntax, and dump the buffer from the start
of the input file to the absolute location of the EOF. Finally, we compare
the dump with the original input to ensure they are identical.
* Generate libSyntax API
This patch removes the hand-rolled libSyntax API and replaces it with an
API that's entirely automatically generated. This means the API is
guaranteed to be internally stylistically and functionally consistent.
This will make it easier to incrementally implement syntax nodes,
while allowing us to embed nodes that we do know about inside ones
that we don't.

A return statement needs something to return, so implement
integer-literal-expression too. This necessarily also forced
UnknownExprSyntax, UnknownStmtSyntax, and UnknownDeclSyntax,
which are stand-in token buckets for when we don't know
how to transform/migrate an AST.
This commit also contains the core function for caching
SyntaxData children. This is highly tricky code, with some
detailed comments in SyntaxData.{h,cpp}. The gist is that
we have to atomically swap in a SyntaxData pointer into the
child field, so we can maintain pointer identity of SyntaxData
nodes, while still being able to cache them internally.
To prove that this works, there is a multithreaded test that
checks that two threads can ask for a child that hasn't been
cached yet without crashing or violating pointer identity.

Add an option to the lexer to go back and get a list of "full"
tokens, which include their leading and trailing trivia, which
we can index into from SourceLocs in the current AST.
This starts the Syntax sublibrary, which will support structured
editing APIs. Some skeleton support and basic implementations are
in place for types and generics in the grammar. Yes, it's slightly
redundant with what we have right now. lib/AST conflates syntax
and semantics in the same place(s); this is a first step in changing
that to separate the two concepts for clarity and also to get closer
to incremental parsing and type-checking. The goal is to eventually
extract all of the syntactic information from lib/AST and change that
to be more of a semantic/symbolic model.
Stub out a Semantics manager. This ought to eventually be used as a hub
for encapsulating lazily computed semantic information for syntax nodes.
For the time being, it can serve as a temporary place for mapping from
Syntax nodes to semantically full lib/AST nodes.
This is still in a molten state - don't get too close, wear appropriate
proximity suits, etc.
Store leading a trailing "trivia" around a token, such as whitespace,
comments, doc comments, and escaping backticks. These are syntactically
important for preserving formatting when printing ASTs but don't
semantically affect the program.
Tokens take all trailing trivia up to, but not including, the next
newline. This is important to maintain checks that statements without
semicolon separators start on a new line, among other things.
Trivia are now data attached to the ends of tokens, not tokens
themselves.
Create a new Syntax sublibrary for upcoming immutable, persistent,
thread-safe ASTs, which will contain only the syntactic information
about source structure, as well as for generating new source code, and
structural editing. Proactively move swift::Token into there.
Since this patch is getting a bit large, a token fuzzer which checks
for round-trip equivlence with the workflow:
fuzzer => token stream => file1
=> Lexer => token stream => file 2 => diff(file1, file2)
Will arrive in a subsequent commit.
This patch does not change the grammar.
