The main point of this change is to make sure that a shared function always has a body: both, in the optimizer pipeline and in the swiftmodule file.
This is important because the compiler always needs to emit code for a shared function. Shared functions cannot be referenced from outside the module.
In several corner cases we missed to maintain this invariant which resulted in unresolved-symbol linker errors.
As side-effect of this change we can drop the shared_external SIL linkage and the IsSerializable flag, which simplifies the serialization and linkage concept.
Reduces the number of _ContiguousArrayStorage metadata.
In order to support constant time bridging we do need to set the correct
metadata when we bridge to Objective-C. This is so that the type check
succeeds when bridging back from Objective-C to reuse the storage
instance rather than bridging the elements.
To support dynamically setting the `_ContiguousArrayStorage` element
type i needed to add support for optimizing `alloc_ref_dynamic`
throughout the optimizer.
Possible future improvements:
* Use different metadata such that we can disambiguate native Swift
classes during destruction -- allowing native release rather then unknown
release usage.
* Optimize the newly added semantic function

Specifically, I split it into 3 initial categories: IR, Utils, Verifier. I just
did this quickly, we can always split it more later if we want.
I followed the model that we use in SILOptimizer: ./lib/SIL/CMakeLists.txt vends
a macro (sil_register_sources) to the sub-folders that register the sources of
the subdirectory with a global state variable that ./lib/SIL/CMakeLists.txt
defines. Then after including those subdirs, the parent cmake declares the SIL
library. So the output is the same, but we have the flexibility of having
subdirectories to categorize source files.
