not have access to their type arguments at runtime. Use this to
fix the emission of native thunks for imported ObjC-generic
initializers, since they may need to perform bridging.
For now, pseudo-genericity is all-or-nothing, but we may want to
make it apply only to certain type arguments.
Also, clean up some code that was using dead mangling nodes.
If a subclass grounds all the type parameters from its base class, we don't have to worry about any erasure edge cases. We should be able to support this, giving existing code that subclasses the nongeneric form of the class a migration path. Spot-fix some places in IRGen where we assume we can't emit static references to ObjC generic classes or metaclasses.
We prevent the generic parameters to an ObjC generic from being used in an extension method at the sema level, and we don't want the polymorphic convention to try to generate independent parameters since that would break the method convention. Trick the polymorphic convention by producing "impossible" fulfillments for the generic parameters derivable from an ObjC generic method's self type.
...even if the 'self' type is generic. Additionally, Objective-C generic
types cannot be used as a source of type metadata, because Objective-C
generics are erased at runtime by default. (This may need to change.)
With these two changes, we now pass type metadata explicitly when we need
to, and /don't/ try to pass it to Objective-C methods that would have
needed it if they were Swift methods.
