of a GEP.
LLVM does not permit GEPs over unsized types, even if the index
is a constant zero.
This makes simple code involving generic tuples work.

handling non-fixed layouts.
This uncovered a bug where we weren't rounding up the header
size to the element alignment when allocating an array of archetypes.
Writing up a detailed test case for *that* revealed that we were
never initializing the length field of heap arrays. Fixing that
caused a bunch of tests to crash trying to release stuff. So...
I've left this in a workaround state right now because I have to
catch a plane.

I had thought that we could get away with letting the
runtime figure out that these offsets were invalid (and
thus recompute them), but it turns out that the runtime
has some basic consistency requirements: basically, it
expects the ivars to have been correctly laid out, and
it merely slides them around according to the layout of
the superclass.

The test changes are that we're setting a class body on
some types that we weren't before. For some of these,
this is okay; for others, it's more questionable, but
ultimately not *harmful*.

The motivations here are that (1) the parametric types
that actually need the 'self' argument don't necessarily
all want to do what tuples do and put the VWT relative
to the metatype at some definable offset and (2)
recovering type parameters from the metatype is much
better defined than also hopping some relationship back.
Plus this allows VWTs to be shared across instances of
generic types. Also, I'm going to need to add a VW
that takes a metatype, and consistency seems right here.
If keeping two values live is actually punishing, I
might have to reconsider this. But the VWT is at least
always recoverable from the metatype, so....
I ended up abstracting the thing that GenHeap was doing
in order to save archetypes for arrays, because I
needed it to save metatypes instead of VWTs and because
it really needed abstractin'.

Mangling is still a hack, pending a better type AST. Fixed
a bug where arguments passed indirectly were not being destroyed
by the callee (when passed by value). Changed some of the protocol
signatures to use the generic opaque pointer type, making the
types a bit more self-documenting in the IR.

It does seem silly for this to all be templated, but I couldn't
really see a very elegant solution given how I wanted things to
be genericized.
...interestingly, a ?t.t[] type would have done nicely for some
of this.

heap allocations it makes, and switch swift_alloc over to pass
that pointer in as well as the alignment. Also, compute
whether a type is POD during its generation and cache that in
the object, and introduce a method on TypeInfo to destroy an
object in memory.

an owner attached. Use this to implement [byref(heap)]. Force
locals to the heap if they've been referenced in a way that requires
this.
