Most of the new inspection logic is in Remote Mirror. New code in swift-inspect calls the new Remote Mirror functions and formats the resulting information for display.
Specific Remote Mirror changes:
* Add a call to check if a given metadata is an actor.
* Add calls to get information about actors and tasks.
* Add a `readObj` call to MemoryReader that combines the read and the cast, greatly simplifying code chasing pointers in the remote process.
* Add a generalized facility to the C shims that can allocate a temporary object that remains valid until at least the next call, which is used to return various temporary arrays from the new calls. Remove the existing `lastString` and `lastChunks` member variables in favor of this new facility.
Swift-inspect changes:
* Add a new dump-concurrency command.
* Add a new `ConcurrencyDumper.swift` file with the implementation. The dumper needs to do some additional work with the results from Remote Mirror to build up the task tree and this keeps it all organized.
* Extend `Inspector` to query the target's threads and fetch each thread's current task.
Concurrency runtime changes:
* Add `_swift_concurrency_debug` variables pointing to the various future adapters. Remote Mirror uses these to provide a better view of a tasks's resume pointer.

This change adds support for WASI in stdlib tests. Some tests that expect a crash to happen had to be disabled, since there's currently no way to observe such crash from a WASI host.
Each trace point is declared as a function in the new `Tracing.h` header. These functions are called from the appropriate places in the concurrency runtime.
On Darwin, an implementation of these functions is provided which uses the `os/signpost.h` API to emit signpost events/intervals.
When the signpost API is not available, no-op stub implementations are provided. Implementations for other OSes can be provided by providing implementations of the trace functions for that OS.

This change has two parts to it:
1. Add in a new interface (addStatusRecordWithChecks) for adding task
status records that also takes in a function ref. This function ref will
be used to evaluate if current state of the parent task has any changes
that need to be propagated to the child task that has been created.
This is necessary to prevent the following race between task creation
and concurrent cancellation and escalation:
a. Parent task create child task. It does lazy relaxed loads on its own
state while doing so and propagates this state to the child.
b. Child task is created but has not been attached to the parent
task/task group.
c. Parent task gets cancelled by another thread.
d. Child task gets linked into the parent’s task status records but no
reevaluation has happened to account for changes that might have happened to
the parent after (a).
2. Move status record management functions from the
Runtime/Concurrency.h to TaskPrivate.h. Remove any corresponding
overrides that are no longer needed. Remove unused tryAddStatusRecord
method whose functionality is provided by addStatusRecordWithChecks.

`AsyncFunctionTypeImpl` has its `type` defaulted to `TaskContinuationFunction`
which is incorrect because it has to append arguments, result type and account
for throws bit.
These changes expand `AsyncSignature` with `ContinuationType` and expand `FunctionType`
to include all of the appropriate information.
The usage of libdispatch in Concurrency is dynamic - it does not
explicitly link against libdispatch and thus cannot directly invoke
`dispatch_main`. While linking against dispatch would be ideal, this
should improve the current path.
The 32-bit identifier in Job is locked down at this point, so we expand the ID by storing the top 32 bits separately inside AsyncTask::PrivateStorage.

We remove the existing `swift_reflection_iterateAsyncTaskAllocations` API that attempts to provide all necessary information about a tasks's allocations starting from the task. Instead, we split it into two pieces: `swift_reflection_asyncTaskSlabPointer` to get the first slab for a task, and `+swift_reflection_asyncTaskSlabAllocations` to get the allocations in a slab, and a pointer to the next slab.
We also add a dummy metadata pointer to the beginning of each slab. This allows tools to identify slab allocations on the heap without needing to locate every single async task object. They can then use `swift_reflection_asyncTaskSlabAllocations` on such allocations to find out about the contents.

The asm definition of `swift_async_extendedFramePointerFlags` prevents
the use of bitcode with the back-deployment libraries, so remove the
definition and use of this symbol from watchOS binaries entirely.
Instead, always force the async frame bit to be set. This trades off
backtraces on older OS's for debuggability of newer ones. If it causes
problems, it can be disabled via the option
`-swift-async-frame-pointer=never`.

The goal here is not to eventually implement a concurrent thread
pool ourselves. We're just making it easier for integrators who
have their own pool and don't want to use Dispatch to build the
Swift concurrency runtime. Just hook the right functions and
you should be fine.
The necessary functions to hook are:
- swift_task_enqueueGlobal
- swift_task_enqueueGlobalAfterDelay
The following functions *would* be necessary to hook:
- swift_task_enqueueMainExecutor
- swift_task_asyncMainDrainQueue (only if you have an async main?)
However, this configuration does not currently properly support
the main executor, and so `@MainActor` should be avoided for now.

The proper handling of task group child tasks is that:
- if it completes a waiting task immediately, we don't need to retain it
- we just move the value to the waiting task and can destroy the task
- if we need to store the ready task and wait for a waiting task (for a
task that hits `await group.next()`) then we need to retain the ready
task.
- as the waiting task arrives, we move the value from the ready task
to the waiting task, and swift_release the ready task -- it will now
be destroyed safely.
`swift_async_extendedFramePointerFlags` is used in back-deployed
concurrency code as a mask to set the extended async frame info bit on
OS versions that understand it. Set this mask to zero in the
back-deployed libraries.
Darwin OSes support vouchers, which are key/value sets that can be adopted on a thread to influence its execution, or sent to another process. APIs like Dispatch propagate vouchers to worker threads when running async code. This change makes Swift Concurrency do the same.
The change consists of a few different parts:
1. A set of shims (in VoucherShims.h) which provides declarations for the necessary calls when they're not available from the SDK, and stub implementations for non-Darwin platforms.
2. One of Job's reserved fields is now used to store the voucher associated with a job.
3. Jobs grab the current thread's voucher when they're created.
4. A VoucherManager class manages adoption of vouchers when running a Job, and replacing vouchers in suspended tasks.
5. A VoucherManager instance is maintained in ExecutionTrackingInfo, and is updated as necessary throughout a Job/Task's lifecycle.

`SWIFT_STDLIB_SINGLE_THREADED_RUNTIME` mode has been broken for a long time.
This patch guards some includes and use of libdispatch headers so that platforms
that doesn't support libdispatch can build cooperative executor runtime.
And fixed missing implementations for cooperative mode.
This macro takes the string and parameters directly, and is conditionally defined to either call fprintf or ignore its arguments. This makes the call sites a little more pleasant (no #if scattered about) and ensures every log includes the thread ID and a newline automatically.
runAsyncAndBlock has long been dead, I'm pulling out the machinery that
lives in the runtime that used to support it. This is the first layer
that can go away.
Without this fix, we saw a crash involving URLSession where we'd hit
assertions or corruption in the runtime in various forms:
- Assertion on trying to enqueue work onto a zombie actor.
- job->SchedulerPrivate being overwritten (crash in getNextJobInQueue).
- *(job->SchedulerPrivate) being overwritten (crash in getAsPreprocessedJob
right after call to getNextJobInQueue).
I haven't been able to create a minimal crashing example yet, but manual
testing shows this does fix the issue.
Fixes rdar://79859254.
Change the code generation patterns for `async let` bindings to use an ABI based on the following
functions:
- `swift_asyncLet_begin`, which starts an `async let` child task, but which additionally
now associates the `async let` with a caller-owned buffer to receive the result of the task.
This is intended to allow the task to emplace its result in caller-owned memory, allowing the
child task to be deallocated after completion without invalidating the result buffer.
- `swift_asyncLet_get[_throwing]`, which replaces `swift_asyncLet_wait[_throwing]`. Instead of
returning a copy of the value, this entry point concerns itself with populating the local buffer.
If the buffer hasn't been populated, then it awaits completion of the task and emplaces the
result in the buffer; otherwise, it simply returns. The caller can then read the result out of
its owned memory. These entry points are intended to be used before every read from the
`async let` binding, after which point the local buffer is guaranteed to contain an initialized
value.
- `swift_asyncLet_finish`, which replaces `swift_asyncLet_end`. Unlike `_end`, this variant
is async and will suspend the parent task after cancelling the child to ensure it finishes
before cleaning up. The local buffer will also be deinitialized if necessary. This is intended
to be used on exit from an `async let` scope, to handle cleaning up the local buffer if necessary
as well as cancelling, awaiting, and deallocating the child task.
- `swift_asyncLet_consume[_throwing]`, which combines `get` and `finish`. This will await completion
of the task, leaving the result value in the result buffer (or propagating the error, if it
throws), while destroying and deallocating the child task. This is intended as an optimization
for reading `async let` variables that are read exactly once by their parent task.
To avoid an epoch break with existing swiftinterfaces and ABI clients, the old builtins and entry
points are kept intact for now, but SILGen now only generates code using the new interface.
This new interface fixes several issues with the old async let codegen, including use-after-free
crashes if the `async let` was never awaited, and the inability to read from an `async let` variable
more than once.

This doesn't resolve all hangs, such as those occurring
due to explicit usage of priorities and certain other
situations where priorities seem to be causing issues
(rdar://79823345), but it does resolve some cases.
The original async ABI made callees deallocate the context,
which allows tail calls (at the async-function level) but
interferes with callers' ability to optimize callee frame
allocation. The purpose of this bit was to allow callers
to do that optimization, but we've since just made callers
responsible for deallocating the context, which is overall
just a lot simpler. So this has been dead for quite some
time.
Tracking this as a single bit is actually largely uninteresting
to the runtime. To handle priority escalation properly, we really
need to track this at a finer grain of detail: recording that the
task is running on a specific thread, enqueued on a specific actor,
or so on. But starting by tracking a single bit is important for
two reasons:
- First, it's more realistic about the performance overheads of
tasks: we're going to be doing this tracking eventually, and
the cost of that tracking will be dominated by the atomic
access, so doing that access now sets the baseline about right.
- Second, it ensures that we've actually got runtime involvement
in all the right places to do this tracking.
A propos of the latter: there was no runtime involvement with
awaiting a continuation, which is a point at which the task
potentially transitions from running to suspended. We must do
the tracking as part of this transition, rather than recognizing
in the run-loops that a task is still active and treating it as
having suspended, because the latter point potentially races with
the resumption of the task. To do this, I've had to introduce
a runtime function, swift_continuation_await, to do this awaiting
rather than inlining the atomic operation on the continuation.
As part of doing this work, I've also fixed a bug where we failed
to load-acquire in swift_task_escalate before walking the task
status records to invoke escalation actions.
I've also fixed several places where the handling of task statuses
may have accidentally allowed the task to revert to uncancelled.
