This decreases total testing time by over a minute on my old Mac Pro.
It probably has much less effect on systems with fewer cores, but shouldn't
be any worse there.

This allows UnicodeScalars to be constructed from an integer, rather
then from a string. Not only this avoids an unnecessary memory
allocation (!) when creating a UnicodeScalar, this also allows the
compiler to statically check that the string contains a single scalar
value (in the same way the compiler checks that Character contains only
a single extended grapheme cluster).

Start capitalizing on some of the new diagnostic machinery in a few different ways:
- When mining constraints for type information, utilize constraints "favored" by the overload resolution process.
- When printing type variables, if the variable was created by opening a literal expression, utilize the literal
default type or conformance if possible.
- Utilize syntactic information when crafting diagnostics:
- If the constraint miner can produce a better diagnostic than the recorded failure, diagnose via constraints.
- Factor in the expression kind when choosing which types to include in a diagnostic message.
- Start customizing diagnostics based on the amount of type data available.
What does all this mean?
- Fewer type variables leaking into diagnostic messages.
- Far better diagnostics for overload resolution failures. Specifically, we now print proper argument type data
for failed function calls.
- No more "'Foo' is not convertible to 'Foo'" error messages
- A greater emphasis on type data means less dependence on the ordering of failed constraints. This means fewer
inscrutable diagnostics complaining about 'UInt8' when all the constituent expressions are of type Float.
So we still have a ways to go, but these changes should greatly improve the number of head-scratchers served up
by the type checker.
These changes address the following radars:

This addresses or improves several existing TC perf bugs (rdar://problem/15933674, rdar://problem/17110608, rdar://problem/17240816, rdar://problem/17244974), and seems to speed up our unit test runs by ~5%. (On my MacBook Pro, total average execution time is reduced from 557.28s to 531.89s.)
