Like NSObject, CFType has primitive operations CFEqual and CFHash,
so Swift should allow those types to show up in Hashable positions
(like dictionaries). The most general way to do this was to
introduce a new protocol, _CFObject, and then have the importer
automatically make all CF types conform to it.
This did require one additional change: the == implementation that
calls through to CFEqual is in a new CoreFoundation overlay, but the
conformance is in the underlying Clang module. Therefore, operator
lookup for conformances has been changed to look in the overlay for
an imported declaration (if there is one).

As a first step to allowing the build script to build *only*
static library versions of the stdlib, change `add_swift_library`
such that callers must pass in `SHARED`, `STATIC`, or `OBJECT_LIBRARY`.
Ideally, only these flags would be used to determine whether to
build shared, static, or object libraries, but that is not currently
the case -- `add_swift_library` also checks whether the library
`IS_STDLIB` before performing certain additional actions. This will be
cleaned up in a future commit.
- Removed unnecessary #if guard
- Used IOReturn instead of Int32 return type
- Avoided private access control for overlays
- Added a test to ensure the type of the constants matches the return type of a IOKit function
