7f684b62e2 SIL optimizer: Add a new string optimization.
Optimizes String operations with constant operands.

Specifically:
  * Replaces x.append(y) with x = y if x is empty.
  * Removes x.append("")
  * Replaces x.append(y) with x = x + y if x and y are constant strings.
  * Replaces _typeName(T.self) with a constant string if T is statically known.

With this optimization it's possible to constant fold string interpolations, like "the \(Int.self) type" -> "the Int type"

This new pass runs on high-level SIL, where semantic calls are still in place.
