Use the new builtins for COW representation in Array, ContiguousArray and ArraySlice.
The basic idea is to strictly separate code which mutates an array buffer from code which reads from an array.
The concept is explained in more detail in docs/SIL.rst, section "Copy-on-Write Representation".
The main change is to use beginCOWMutation() instead of isUniquelyReferenced() and insert endCOWMutation() at the end of all mutating functions. Also, reading from the array buffer must be done differently, depending on if the buffer is in a mutable or immutable state.
All the required invariants are enforced by runtime checks - but only in an assert-build of the library: a bit in the buffer object side-table indicates if the buffer is mutable or not.
Along with the library changes, also two optimizations needed to be updated: COWArrayOpt and ObjectOutliner.
If a make_mutable operation is done conditionally in a loop, the hoisting of this operation can cause an over-release of the array buffer in some cases.

With removing of pinning and with addressors, the pattern matching did not work anymore.
The good thing is that the SIL is now much simpler and we can handle the 2D case without pattern matching at all.
This removes a lot of code from COWArrayOpts.

As a structural SIL property, we disallow address-type block
arguments. Supporting them would prevent reliably reasoning about the
underlying storage of memory access. This reasoning is important for
diagnosing violations of memory access rules and supporting future
optimizations such as bitfield packing. Address-type block arguments
also create unnecessary complexity for SIL optimization passes that
need to reason about memory aliasing.
This must be enforced in RAW SIL for diagnosing exclusive memory
access. The optimizer currently breaks the invariant in three places:
1. Normal Simplify CFG during conditional branch simplification
(sneaky jump threading).
2. Simplify CFG via Jump Threading.
3. Loop Rotation.
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.
Currently the array.get_element calls return the element as indirect result.
The generic specializer will change so that the element can be returned as direct result.
Similarly to how we've always handled parameter types, we
now recursively expand tuples in result types and separately
determine a result convention for each result.
The most important code-generation change here is that
indirect results are now returned separately from each
other and from any direct results. It is generally far
better, when receiving an indirect result, to receive it
as an independent result; the caller is much more likely
to be able to directly receive the result in the address
they want to initialize, rather than having to receive it
in temporary memory and then copy parts of it into the
target.
The most important conceptual change here that clients and
producers of SIL must be aware of is the new distinction
between a SILFunctionType's *parameters* and its *argument
list*. The former is just the formal parameters, derived
purely from the parameter types of the original function;
indirect results are no longer in this list. The latter
includes the indirect result arguments; as always, all
the indirect results strictly precede the parameters.
Apply instructions and entry block arguments follow the
argument list, not the parameter list.
A relatively minor change is that there can now be multiple
direct results, each with its own result convention.
This is a minor change because I've chosen to leave
return instructions as taking a single operand and
apply instructions as producing a single result; when
the type describes multiple results, they are implicitly
bound up in a tuple. It might make sense to split these
up and allow e.g. return instructions to take a list
of operands; however, it's not clear what to do on the
caller side, and this would be a major change that can
be separated out from this already over-large patch.
Unsurprisingly, the most invasive changes here are in
SILGen; this requires substantial reworking of both call
emission and reabstraction. It also proved important
to switch several SILGen operations over to work with
RValue instead of ManagedValue, since otherwise they
would be forced to spuriously "implode" buffers.
Having a separate address and container value returned from alloc_stack is not really needed in SIL.
Even if they differ we have both addresses available during IRGen, because a dealloc_stack is always dominated by the corresponding alloc_stack in the same function.
Although this commit quite large, most changes are trivial. The largest non-trivial change is in IRGenSIL.
This commit is a NFC regarding the generated code. Even the generated SIL is the same (except removed #0, #1 and @local_storage).
