This is all goodness, and eliminates a major source of implicit conversions.
One thing this regresses on though, is that we now reject "x == nil" where
x is an option type and the element of the optional is not Equtatable. If
this is important, there are ways to enable this, but directly testing it as
a logic value is more straight-forward.
This does not include support for pattern matching against nil, that will be
a follow on patch.

- rdar://problem/16776273, wherein conversions between nil and .None were permitted
due to an implicit conversion between nil and COpaquePointer.
- rdar://problem/16877526, where we needed to add new equality overloads to handle
conversions between nil and .None given the supression of user conversions.
(Some minor tweaks this time around for better interoperability with AnyObject.)

(Thanks to Ted for the overloads and test.)

assert() and fatalError()
These functions are meant to be used in user code. They are enabled in debug
mode and disabled in release or fast mode.
_precondition() and _preconditionFailure()
These functions are meant to be used in library code to check preconditions at
the api boundry. They are enabled in debug mode (with a verbose message) and
release mode (trap). In fast mode they are disabled.
_debugPrecondition() and _debugPreconditionFailure()
These functions are meant to be used in library code to check preconditions that
are not neccesarily comprehensive for safety (UnsafePointer can be null or an
invalid pointer but we can't check both). They are enabled only in debug mode.
_sanityCheck() and _fatalError()
These are meant to be used for internal consistency checks. They are only
enabled when the library is build with -DSWIFT_STDLIB_INTERNAL_CHECKS=ON.
I modified the code in the standard library to the best of my judgement.
