These aren't really orthogonal concerns--you'll never have a @thick @cc(objc_method), or an @objc_block @cc(witness_method)--and we have gross decision trees all over the codebase that try to hopscotch between the subset of combinations that make sense. Stop the madness by eliminating AbstractCC and folding its states into SILFunctionTypeRepresentation. This cleans up a ton of code across the compiler.
I couldn't quite eliminate AbstractCC's information from AST function types, since SIL type lowering transiently created AnyFunctionTypes with AbstractCCs set, even though these never occur at the source level. To accommodate type lowering, allow AnyFunctionType::ExtInfo to carry a SILFunctionTypeRepresentation, and arrange for the overlapping representations to share raw values.
In order to avoid disturbing test output, AST and SILFunctionTypes are still printed and parsed using the existing @thin/@thick/@objc_block and @cc() attributes, which is kind of gross, but lets me stage in the real source-breaking change separately.

Move AbstractCC into SILType and make it an attribute of SILTypes for functions. Add a ConvertCCInst to represent calling convention conversions. Give SILFunctions a linkage attribute. Add logic to SILGen to calculate these attributes for SILConstants based on their attached decls.
IRGen doesn't use these new attributes yet. I'll hook that up when I move mangling over.

Push LLVM attribute generation from expandAbstractCC into getFunctionSignature and CallEmission so that they can generate sret and/or byval attributes per-argument according to the calling convention. Copy our bogus rule for emitting sret returns (more than three elements in the explosion) and reuse it to pass large struct values as byvals rather than as explosions. This should be good enough to get both 'NSRect' and
'NSRange', 'NSSize' etc. to pass correctly to ObjC methods. Next step is to set the AbstractCC correctly for imported func decls so that standalone C functions follow the same bogus rule.
