The pass is already not being run during normal compilation scenarios today
since it bails on OSSA except in certain bit-rot situations where a test wasn't
updated and so was inadvertently invoking the pass. I discovered these while
originally just trying to eliminate the pass from the diagnostic pipeline. The
reason why I am doing this in one larger change is that I found there were a
bunch of sil tests inadvertently relying on guaranteed arc opts to eliminate
copy traffic. So, if I just removed this and did this in two steps, I would
basically be unoptimizing then re-optimizing the tests.
Some notes:
1. The new guaranteed arc opts is based off of SemanticARCOpts and runs only on
ossa. Specifically, in this new pass, we just perform simple
canonicalizations that do not involve any significant analysis. Some
examples: a copy_value all of whose uses are destroys. This will do what the
original pass did and more without more compile time. I did a conservative
first approximation, but we can probably tune this a bit.
2. the reason why I am doing this now is that I was trying to eliminate the
enable-ownership-stripping-after-serialization flag and discovered that the
test opaque_value_mandatory implicitly depends on this since sil-opt by
default was the only place left in the compiler with that option set to false
by default. So I am eliminating that dependency before I land the larger
change.
I also had to fix up one test and eliminated a test that did not really make
sense in the first place to test with ossa. (Specifically,
copy_value_destroy_value is a test I added when adding copy_value,
destroy_value, it really doesn't make sense since we will just lower it to
retain, release before we hit IRGen).
This removes it from the AST and largely replaces it with AnyObject
at the SIL and IRGen layers. Some notes:
- Reflection still uses the notion of "unknown object" to mean an
object with unknown refcounting. There's no real reason to make
this different from AnyObject (an existential containing a
single object with unknown refcounting), but this way nothing
changes for clients of Reflection, and it's consistent with how
native objects are represented.
- The value witness table and reflection descriptor for AnyObject
use the mangling "BO" instead of "yXl".
- The demangler and remangler continue to support "BO" because it's
still in use as a type encoding, even if it's not an AST-level
Type anymore.
- Type-based alias analysis for Builtin.UnknownObject was incorrect,
so it's a good thing we weren't using it.
- Same with enum layout. (This one assumed UnknownObject never
referred to an Objective-C tagged pointer. That certainly wasn't how
we were using it!)
These functions don't accept local variable heap memory, although the names make it sound like they work on anything. When you try, they mistakenly identify such things as ObjC objects, call through to the equivalent objc_* function, and crash confusingly. This adds Object to the name of each one to make it more clear what they accept.

This is how we originally controlled whether or not we printed out ownership
annotations when we printed SIL. Since then, I have changed (a few months ago I
believe) the ownership model eliminator to know how to eliminate these
annotations from the SIL itself. So this hack can be removed.
As an additional benefit, this will let me rename -enable-sil-ownership to
-enable-sil-ownership-verifier. This will I hope eliminate confusion around this
option in the short term while I am preparing to work on semantic sil again.

It's more appropriate to use `Unknown` refcounting, which we correctly handle in the face of non-ObjC-interop elsewhere. Fixes a problem where the Linux standard library would contain an unresolvable reference to `objc_release`.
