I fixed a few things. Now I am finally hitting cases where we have
guaranteed/owned arguments, so I really need to do the SILGen work. But this was
a good first step.

Officially kick SILBoxType over to be "nominal" in its layout, with generic layouts structurally parameterized only by formal types. Change SIL to lower a capture to a nongeneric box when possible, or a box capturing the enclosing generic context when necessary.
The implementation will rely on a SILVisitor to ensure that we properly handle
all relevant cases. Right now, there are only stubs and we assert in all of
them.

I am going to use this to ensure that I am properly handling all Builtin cases.
The intrinsic cases from LLVM are simpler and can be handled at a high level
(namely that all ownership uses are trivial since LLVM has no concept of
ownership.

This was in the first high level ARC instruction proposal, but I have not needed
it until now. The use case for this is to ahandle strong_retain_unowned (which
takes in an unowned value, asserts it is still alive, performs a strong_retain,
and returns the @owned value). This @owned value needs a destroy_value.

We just never needed this information before. And I need it now for the SIL
Ownership Verifier to cleanly get the result info so I can determine the
ownership convention of an ApplyInstBase's return value.

This simplifies the SILType substitution APIs and brings them in line with Doug and Slava's refactorings to improve AST-level type substitution. NFC intended.
Applying nontrivial generic arguments to a nontrivial SIL layout requires lowered SILType substitution, which requires a SILModule. NFC yet, just an API change.
There's no longer a single element type to speak of. Update uses to either iterate all box fields or to assert that they're working with a single-field box.
This was made redundant by typed boxes, and the type operand was already removed from textual SIL, but the field was never removed from the instruction's in memory representation. It becomes wrong in the face of compound boxes with layout.
Use a syntax that declares the layout's generic parameters and fields,
followed by the generic arguments to apply to the layout:
{ var Int, let String } // A concrete box layout with a mutable Int
// and immutable String field
<T, U> { var T, let U } <Int, String> // A generic box layout,
// applied to Int and String
// arguments
Trying to contain it in SIL doesn't really work if we want to be able to print or parse SIL box types, since the type parser and printer doesn't otherwise depend on the SIL module.
This was already done for getSuccessorBlocks() to distinguish getting successor
blocks from getting the full list of SILSuccessors via getSuccessors(). This
commit just makes all of the successor/predecessor code follow that naming
convention.
Some examples:
getSingleSuccessor() => getSingleSuccessorBlock().
isSuccessor() => isSuccessorBlock().
getPreds() => getPredecessorBlocks().
Really, IMO, we should consider renaming SILSuccessor to a more verbose name so
that it is clear that it is more of an internal detail of SILBasicBlock's
implementation rather than something that one should consider as apart of one's
mental model of the IR when one really wants to be thinking about predecessor
and successor blocks. But that is not what this commit is trying to change, it
is just trying to eliminate a bit of technical debt by making the naming
conventions here consistent.
Before this commit all code relating to handling arguments in SILBasicBlock had
somewhere in the name BB. This is redundant given that the class's name is
already SILBasicBlock. This commit drops those names.
Some examples:
getBBArg() => getArgument()
BBArgList => ArgumentList
bbarg_begin() => args_begin()
This eliminates all inline creation of SILBasicBlock via placement new.
There are a few reasons to do this:
1. A SILBasicBlock is always created with a parent function. This commit
formalizes this into the SILBasicBlock API by only allowing for SILFunctions to
create SILBasicBlocks. This is implemented via the type system by making all
SILBasicBlock constructors private. Since SILFunction is a friend of
SILBasicBlock, SILFunction can still create a SILBasicBlock without issue.
2. Since all SILBasicBlocks will be created in only a few functions, it becomes
very easy to determine using instruments the amount of memory being allocated
for SILBasicBlocks by simply inverting the call tree in Allocations.
With LTO+PGO, normal inlining can occur if profitable so there shouldn't be
overhead that we care about in shipping compilers.
