66e7d8864f GlobalOpt: Outline heap objects to global variables.
Mainly this is done for array literals.
This new optimization creates a statically initialized global variable which is the allocated object.
The alloc_ref instruction is replaced by a global_value instruction.

This optimization can give significant performance improvements for large array literals.

1ab582e121 SIL: A new representation of static initializers for global variables.
Static initializers are now represented by a list of literal and aggregate instructions in a SILGlobalVariable.
For details see SIL.rst.

This representation is cleaner than what we did so far (point to the initializer function and do some pattern matching).

One implication of that change is that now (a subset of) instructions not necessarily have a parent function.
Regarding the generated code it's a NFC.
Also the swift module format didn't change because so far we don't serializer global variables.

c47687da2c Add an isStrict flag to SIL pointer_to_address. (#3529)
Strict aliasing only applies to memory operations that use strict
addresses. The optimizer needs to be aware of this flag. Uses of raw
addresses should not have their address substituted with a strict
address.

Also add Builtin.LoadRaw which will be used by raw pointer loads.
