Partial applies of methods supply only self. When applies of the
resulting thick function are performed, that self was one of the
arguments is not known. As a result, self must appear after the fields
that might be supplied at the apply site, which is to say all the
arguments.
Bindings will always be supplied by the first partial apply, so they
will only be added to the async context when its full layout is known.
If they are earlier in the layout, subsequent partial applies will put
their arguments into the wrong position because they will not be privy
to the space requirements of the bindings.
For callers who do not know the actual type of the called function, e.g.
when the called function is the result of a partial apply, the offset to
the direct returns would otherwise not be known.
Previously, the AsyncContextLayout did not make space for the trailing
witness fields (self metadata and self witness table) and the
AsyncNativeCCEntryPointArgumentEmission could consequently not vend
these fields. Here, the fields are added to the layout.
Previously the methods for getting the index into the layout were public
and were being used to directly access the underlying buffer. Here,
that abstraction leakage is fixed and field access is forced to go
through the appropriate methods.
Here, the following is implemented:
- Construction of SwiftContext struct with the fields needed for calling
functions.
- Allocating and deallocating these swift context via runtime calls
before calling async functions and after returning from them.
- Storing arguments (including bindings and the self parameter but not
including protocol fields for witness methods) and returns (both
direct and indirect).
- Calling async functions.
Additional things that still need to be done:
- protocol extension methods
- protocol witness methods
- storing yields
- partial applies

This prepares SIL to be able to more accurately preserve the calling convention of
polymorphic generic interfaces by letting the type system represent "substituted function types".
We add a couple of fields to SILFunctionType to support this:
- A substitution map, accessed by `getSubstitutions()`, which maps the generic signature
of the function to its concrete implementation. This will allow, for instance, a protocol
witness for a requirement of type `<Self: P> (Self, ...) -> ...` for a concrete conforming
type `Foo` to express its type as `<Self: P> (Self, ...) -> ... for <Foo>`, preserving the relation
to the protocol interface without relying on the pile of hacks that is the `witness_method`
protocol.
- A bool for whether the generic signature of the function is "implied" by the substitutions.
If true, the generic signature isn't really part of the calling convention of the function.
This will allow closure types to distinguish a closure being passed to a generic function, like
`<T, U> in (*T, *U) -> T for <Int, String>`, from the concrete type `(*Int, *String) -> Int`,
which will make it easier for us to differentiate the representation of those as types, for
instance by giving them different pointer authentication discriminators to harden arm64e
code.
This patch is currently NFC, it just introduces the new APIs and takes a first pass at updating
code to use them. Much more work will need to be done once we start exercising these new
fields.
This does bifurcate some existing APIs:
- SILFunctionType now has two accessors to get its generic signature.
`getSubstGenericSignature` gets the generic signature that is used to apply its
substitution map, if any. `getInvocationGenericSignature` gets the generic signature
used to invoke the function at apply sites. These differ if the generic signature is
implied.
- SILParameterInfo and SILResultInfo values carry the unsubstituted types of the parameters
and results of the function. They now have two APIs to get that type. `getInterfaceType`
returns the unsubstituted type of the generic interface, and
`getArgumentType`/`getReturnValueType` produce the substituted type that is used at
apply sites.

The goals here are four-fold:
- provide cleaner internal abstractions
- avoid IR bloat from extra bitcasts
- avoid recomputing function-type lowering information
- allow more information to be propagated from the function
access site (e.g. class_method) to the call site
Use this framework immediately for class and protocol methods.
