This will help with ensuring that we do not create multiple witness
table "definitions" one of which is null. That situtation yields an
IRGen assertion to be hit since the external declaration (in the guise
of a definition) has a different type from the actual deserialized
definition.

The driver infers the filename from the module file by replacing the extension,
and passes the explicit path to the swiftdoc file to the frontend. But there
is no option in the driver to control emission of swiftdoc (it is always
emitted, and name is always inferred from the swiftmodule name).
The swiftdoc file consists of a single table that maps USRs to {brief comment,
raw comment}. In order to look up a comment for decl we generate the USR
first. We hope that the performance hit will not be that bad, because most
declarations come from Clang. The advantage of this design is that the
swiftdoc file is not locked to the swiftmodule file, and can be updated,
replaced, and even localized.

In the short term, we need to be able to emit shared symbols for SILWitnessTables corresponding to Clang-imported modules, and soon, the generic specializer will need to be able to reference *_external witness tables deserialized from library modules.

Let ArchetypeType nested types and PotentialArchetypes be bound to concrete types in addition to archetypes. Constraints to outer context archetypes still suffer type-checker issues, but constraints to true concrete types should work now.

Add __FUNCTION__ to the repertoire of magic source-location-identifying tokens. Inside a function, it gives the function name; inside a property accessor, it gives the property name; inside special members like 'init', 'subscript', and 'deinit', it gives the keyword name, and at top level, it gives the module name. As a bit of future-proofing, stringify the full DeclName, even though we only ever give declarations simple names currently.

alloc_ref_dynamic allocates an instance of a class type based on the
value in its metatype operand. Start emitting these instructions for
the allocating constructor of a complete object initializer (not yet
tested) and for the allocating constructor synthesized for an imported
Objective-C init method.
Still missing:
- IRGen still does the same thing as alloc_ref right now. That
change will follow.
- There are devirtualization opportunities when we know the value of
the metatype that would turn an alloc_ref_dynamic into an alloc_ref;
I'm not planning to do this optimization.

With this commit, we can deserialize the stdlib. Still running into
issues related to linking that requires a consultation with John. That
will come in a later commit.
