It is necessary for opaque values where for casts that will newly start
out as checked_cast_brs and be lowered to checked_cast_addr_brs, since
the latter has the source formal type, IRGen relies on being able to
access it, and there's no way in general to obtain the source formal
type from the source lowered type.
In case of `var` initializations, SILGen creates a dynamic begin/end_access pair around the initialization store.
If it's an initialization (and not a re-assign) it's guanranteed that it's an exlusive access and we can convert the access to an `[init] [static]` access.

Sometimes stack promotion can catch cases only at a late stage of the pipeline, after FunctionSignatureOpts.

SIL type lowering erases DynamicSelfType, so we generate
incorrect code when casting to DynamicSelfType. Fixing this
requires a fair amount of plumbing, but most of the
changes are mechanical.
Note that the textual SIL syntax for casts has changed
slightly; the target type is now a formal type without a '$',
not a SIL type.
Also, the unconditional_checked_cast_value and
checked_cast_value_br instructions now take the _source_
formal type as well, just like the *_addr forms they are
intended to replace.
By unintentionally using SILDeclRef::getFuncDecl() we were getting a nullptr back,
and passing it in to ClassDecl::getOverridingDecl(). This started crashing with a
refactoring I'm making. Fix this and add a test.
