Casts always work with formal rather than lowered types.
This fixes a potential bug when lowered types are different than formal types, like function types.
* let `SIL.Type` conform to `TypeProperties` to share the implementation of common type properties between the AST types and `SIL.Type`
* call references to an `AST.Type` `rawType` (instead of just `type`)
* remove unneeded stuff
* add comments
* `users`: maps from a sequence of operands to a sequence of instructions
* `users(ofType:)` : as `users`, but filters users of a certain instruction type
* `Value.users`: = `Value.uses.users`
It hoists `destroy_value` instructions without shrinking an object's lifetime.
This is done if it can be proved that another copy of a value (either in an SSA value or in memory) keeps the referenced object(s) alive until the original position of the `destroy_value`.
```
%1 = copy_value %0
...
last_use_of %0
// other instructions
destroy_value %0 // %1 is still alive here
```
->
```
%1 = copy_value %0
...
last_use_of %0
destroy_value %0
// other instructions
```
The benefit of this optimization is that it can enable copy-propagation by moving destroys above deinit barries and access scopes.
When replacing an `enum` - `unchecked_enum_data` pair and the enum's operand is another non-trivial enum which is constructed with a trivial payload, and this happens in different basic blocks, we need to insert a compensating `destroy_value`.

As the optimizer uses more and more AST stuff, it's now time to create an "AST" module.
Initially it defines following AST datastructures:
* declarations: `Decl` + derived classes
* `Conformance`
* `SubstitutionMap`
* `Type` and `CanonicalType`
Some of those were already defined in the SIL module and are now moved to the AST module.
This change also cleans up a few things:
* proper definition of `NominalTypeDecl`-related APIs in `SIL.Type`
* rename `ProtocolConformance` to `Conformance`
* use `AST.Type`/`AST.CanonicalType` instead of `BridgedASTType` in SIL and the Optimizer
The buffer of global arrays could already be statically initialized.
The missing piece was the array itself, which is basically a reference to the array buffer.
For example:
```
var a = [1, 2, 3]
```
ends up in two statically initialized globals:
1. the array buffer, which contains the elements
2. the variable `a` which is a single reference (= pointer) of the array buffer
This optimization removes the need for lazy initialization of such variables.

Compute, update and handle borrowed-from instruction in various utilities and passes.
Also, used borrowed-from to simplify `gatherBorrowIntroducers` and `gatherEnclosingValues`.
Replace those utilities by `Value.getBorrowIntroducers` and `Value.getEnclosingValues`, which return a lazily computed Sequence of borrowed/enclosing values.
Under OSSA, the instruction may still be structurally responsible for consuming
its operand even if the result is dead, so we can't remove it without breaking
invariants.
More generally, this should probably apply to any instruction which consumes
one or more of its operands, has no side effects, and doesn't produce any
nontrivial results that require further consumption to keep the value alive.
I went with this targeted fix, since it addresses a problem that shows up
in practice (rdar://125381446) and the more general change appears to
disturb the optimizer pipeline while building the standard library.
* add `NominalTypeDecl.isResilient`
* make the return type of `Type.getNominalFields` optional and return nil in case the nominal type is resilient.
This forces users of this API to think about what to do in case the nominal type is resilient.
Make filter APIs for UseList chainable by adding them to Sequence where Element == Operand
For example, it allows to write:
```
let singleUse = value.uses.ignoreDebugUses.ignoreUsers(ofType: EndAccessInst.self).singleUse
```
Also, add `UseList.getSingleUser(notOfType:)`
For example:
```
var p = Point(x: 10, y: 20)
let o = UnsafePointer(&p)
```
Also support outlined arrays with pointers to other globals. For example:
```
var g1 = 1
var g2 = 2
func f() -> [UnsafePointer<Int>] {
return [UnsafePointer(&g1), UnsafePointer(&g2)]
}
```
