One additional tweak (setting the scalar-aligned bit on foreign indices) had to be made to avoid a performance regression for long non-ASCII foreign strings.
Old Swift and new Swift runtimes and overlays need to coexist in the same process. This means there must not be any classes which have the same ObjC runtime name in old and new, because the ObjC runtime doesn't like name collisions.
When possible without breaking source compatibility, classes were renamed in Swift, which results in a different ObjC name.
Public classes were renamed only on the ObjC side using the @_objcRuntimeName attribute.
This is similar to the work done in pull request #19295. That only renamed @objc classes. This renames all of the others, since even pure Swift classes still get an ObjC name.

In anticipation of potential future HW features, e.g. armv8.5 memory
tagging, only use the high 4 bytes as discriminator bits in
_BridgeObject rather than the top 8 bits. Utilize two perf flags to
cover this instead. This requires shifting around a fair amount of
internal complexity.
Remove Discriminator, Flags, etc., abstractions from
StringObject. These cause code divergence between 32-bit and 64-bit
ABI, complicate ABI changes, and otherwise contribute to bloat.
• Convert _AbstractStringStorage to a protocol, and the free functions used to deduplicate implementations to extensions on that protocol.
• Move 'start' into the abstract type and use that to simplify some code
• Move the ASCII fast path for length into UTF16View.
• Add a weirder but faster way to check which (if any) of our NSString subclasses a given object is, and adopt it
After rebasing on master and incorporating more 32-bit support,
perform a bunch of cleanup, documentation updates, comments, move code
back to String declaration, etc.
Refactor and rename _StringGutsSlice, apply NFC-aware fast paths to a
new buffered iterator.
Also, fix bug in _typeName which used to assume ASCIIness and better
SIL optimizations on StringObject.
Add inlinability annotations to restore performance parity with 4.2 String.
Take advantage of known NFC as a fast-path for comparison, and
overhaul comparison dispatch.
RRC improvements and optmizations.
* Refactor out RRC implementation into dedicated file.
* Change our `_invariantCheck` pattern to generate efficient code in
asserts builds and make the optimizer job's easier.
* Drop a few Bidi shims we no longer need.
* Restore View decls to String, workaround no longer needed
* Cleaner unicode helper facilities
This is a giant squashing of a lot of individual changes prototyping a
switch of String in Swift 5 to be natively encoded as UTF-8. It
includes what's necessary for a functional prototype, dropping some
history, but still leaves plenty of history available for future
commits.
My apologies to anyone trying to do code archeology between this
commit and the one prior. This was the lesser of evils.
The functions in LibcShims are used externally, some directly and some through @inlineable functions. These are changed to SWIFT_RUNTIME_STDLIB_SPI to better match their actual usage. Their names are also changed to add "_swift" to the front to match our naming conventions.
Three functions from SwiftObject.mm are changed to SPI and get a _swift prefix.
A few other support functions are also changed to SPI. They already had a prefix and look like they were meant to be SPI anyway. It was just hard to notice any mixup when they were #defined to the same thing.

Drop append-related @inlinable annotations for String, StringGuts,
StringStorage, and the Views. Drop several for larger operations, such
as case conversion. Drop as many as we can from StringGuts for now.
Re-wrote the inner memcpy loops so that they can be vectorized.
Also added a few inline(__always).
Since we removed some @inlineable attributes this string-append code is not code generated in the client anymore.
The code generation in the stdlib binary is different because all the precondition checks are not folded away.
Using explicit loop control statements instead of for-in-range removes the precondition-overhead for those time critical memcpy loops.
Non-tagged NSStrings carry identity separate from their
value. Continue to bridge them lazily, even if they could fit in small
form, to respect this and avoid potential information loss.
Temporarily disable invariant that all natives strings that could be
small, are.
StringStorage.create is the primary means of allocating storage for a
string, so drop inlinability to allow for future evolution.
StringStorage also exposes some .appendInPlace methods, which we
currently need to keep inlinable for benchmark performance. We'd
really like to drop inlinability for these for evolution purposes
(e.g. imagine a future version that adjusts nul-termination or changes
in coordination with create). These are flagged with:
` // TODO(inlinability): @usableFromInline - P3`
Where "P3" reflects urgency on a scale from 1 (stop the presses) to 5
(whatevs).
