SE-0072 took implicit bridging conversions away, which regressed the ability to express NSDictionaries as dictionary literals and index them using literal keys. Address this by changing the signature of init(dictionaryLiteral:) to use Hashable and Any, and by replacing the subscript from Objective-C with one using _Hashable that does the bridging on the user's behalf. This largely restores the QoI of working with NS collections.
One last bit of SE-0072. We shouldn't fall back to bridged classes in the absence of type context for literals anymore. By itself, this kind of hoses the use of literals with NS types, but I think we can get most of the QoI back with overlay changes I plan to propose following this.
It looks from the failed build logs that XCTest has a transitive
dependency on CoreMedia, so listing this dependency explicitly might
solve the problem.

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.
Previously, the only version of the functions that accepted values was the one that implicitly wraps them into Optionals. This generated a confusing error message when the assert failed. Having a separate overload that accepts non-optional types ensures that the correct description is printed when the assert fails.
The general rule here is that something needs to be SWIFT_CC(swift)
if it's just declared in Swift code using _silgen_name, as opposed to
importing something via a header.
Of course, SWIFT_CC(swift) expands to nothing by default for now, and
I haven't made an effort yet to add the indirect-result / context
parameter ABI attributes. This is just a best-effort first pass.
I also took the opportunity to shift a few files to just implement
their shims header and to demote a few things to be private stdlib
interfaces.
When an assertion fails due to an Objective-C exception, that should be
treated as an unexpected failure, not an expected failure.

When an assertion expression throws an error, treat that as an
unexpected failure of the assertion.
Also generate the failure message for the error directly in the overlay,
rather than routing through _XCTFailureDescription, to avoid revlock
between the overlay and XCTest.framework's implementation.

Add an assertion that can be used to check that an expression throws an
error, and if it does to run a block against that error which may
contain further checks.

This reflects the fact that the attribute's only for compiler-internal use, and isn't really equivalent to C's asm attribute, since it doesn't change the calling convention to be C-compatible.
At some point I want to propose a revised model for exports, but for now
just mark that support for '@exported' is still experimental and subject
to change. (Thanks, Max.)
