If an imported C struct has no __nonnull pointer fields, then we can give a default initializer that zeroes all of its fields. This becomes a requirement when working with partially-imported types like NSDecimal. NSDecimal has bitfields Swift can't see yet, so it's impossible to DI, but the Foundation functions that work with NSDecimal all emit their result by out parameter, and without access to its fields it is impossible to initialize an NSDecimal for use with one of these functions. Implement the initializer using a builtin that gets lowered by IRGen; this is also made necessary by the fact that Swift has only a partial view of the struct, so we can't form a complete zero initializer until we have the definitive type layout from Clang.

There is some follow-up work remaining:
- test/stdlib/UnicodeTrie test kills the type checker without manual type annotations. <rdar://problem/17539704>
- test/Sema/availability test raises a type error on 'a: String == nil', which we want, but probably not as a side effect of string-to-pointer conversions. I'll fix this next.

- Follow LLVM conventions for emacs mode specification
- Use local variables suffix to make the output read-only (at least on
Emacs)
- But drop the admonitions not to edit the generated files;
line-directive mostly takes care of that problem now.

Keep calm: remember that the standard library has many more public exports
than the average target, and that this contains ALL of them at once.
I also deliberately tried to tag nearly every top-level decl, even if that
was just to explicitly mark things @internal, to make sure I didn't miss
something.
This does export more than we might want to, mostly for protocol conformance
reasons, along with our simple-but-limiting typealias rule. I tried to also
mark things private where possible, but it's really going to be up to the
standard library owners to get this right. This is also only validated
against top-level access control; I haven't fully tested against member-level
access control yet, and none of our semantic restrictions are in place.
Along the way I also noticed bits of stdlib cruft; to keep this patch
understandable, I didn't change any of them.
