It can be very hard to debug (from a compiler engineers perspective) why the perforamnce diagnostics aren't allowing a certain pattern. Usually this means adding a bunch of random SIL dumps to debug. With these stack traces, you can now just add `-Xllvm -swift-diagnostics-assert-on-error=1` and the stack dumps will do the rest.
Before this change, if a global variable is required to be statically initialized (e.g. due to @_section attribute), we don't allow its type to be a struct, only a scalar type works. This change improves on that by teaching MandatoryPerformanceOptimizations pass to inline struct initializer calls into initializer of globals, as long as they are simple enough so that we can be sure that we don't trigger recursive/infinite inlining.
Attribute @_silgen_name is today only allowed to be used on functions, this change allows usage on globals as well. The motivation for that is to be able to "forward declare" globals just like it's today possible to do with functions (for the cases where it's not practical or convenient to use a bridging header).
Separately, this change also adds a @_silgen_name(raw: ...) syntax, which simply avoids mangling the name (by using the \01 name prefix that LLVM uses). The motivation for that is to be able to reference the "magic Darwin linker symbols" that can be used to look up section bounds (in the current dylib/module) -- those symbols don't use the underscore prefix in their mangled names.
* Look through `begin_borrow` when analyzing closure values
* Treat non-escaping closures as trivial values when passed to a `partial_apply`

* Add @_used and @_section attributes for global variables and top-level functions
This adds:
- @_used attribute that flags as a global variable or a top-level function as
"do not dead-strip" via llvm.used, roughly the equivalent of
__attribute__((used)) in C/C++.
- @_section("...") attribute that places a global variable or a top-level
function into a section with that name, roughly the equivalent of
__attribute__((section("..."))) in C/C++.
Although nonescaping closures are representationally trivial pointers to their
on-stack context, it is useful to model them as borrowing their captures, which
allows for checking correct use of move-only values across the closure, and
lets us model the lifetime dependence between a closure and its captures without
an ad-hoc web of `mark_dependence` instructions.
During ownership elimination, We eliminate copy/destroy_value instructions and
end the partial_apply's lifetime with an explicit dealloc_stack as before,
for compatibility with existing IRGen and non-OSSA aware passes.
The PerformanceDiagnostics pass issues performance diagnostics for functions which are annotated with performance annotations, like @_noLocks, @_noAllocation.
This is done recursively for all functions which are called from performance-annotated functions.
