The interesting thing here is that we need runtime support in
order to generate references to metatypes for classes, mostly
because normal ObjC classes don't have all the information we want
in a metatype (which for now just means the VWT pointer).
We'll need to be able to reverse this mapping when finding a
class pointer to hand off to, say, an Objective-C class method,
of course.

uncurrying level, which is something I find myself passing around
quite a bit. Make sure that it can propagate getter/setter
references in the same way.

the metadata objects for classes. This is currently only
done for methods defined in the main class body, and it's
(naturally) totally fragile, and it's screwed up in a
couple known ways w.r.t. generic classes: there's no
thunking when the overrider differs by abstraction from
the overridden method, and methods on classes currently
expect to get all the type arguments passed directly
and thus will disagree in signature from members of
non-generic classes. Also, of course, we're not using
any of this in the call infrastructure. But it's progress.

This is kindof a pain in a few places where the type system
doesn't propagate canonicality. Also, member initializations
are always direct-initializations and so are allowed to use
explicit constructors, which is a hole in our canonicality
tracking. But overall I like the idea of always working
with canonical types.

In particular, prepare for storing real v-table-like information
in the heap metadata. Give the metadata object proper linkage
and emit it as part of emitting the class.
Adjust the manglings of constructors and destructors while I'm
at it.

value witnesses goes.
There are three major remaining things to do to support protocols:
- laying out the actual protocol members
- emitting witnesse for the actual protocol members
- detecting uses of the actual protocol members and funnelling
them through the witnesses as appropriate
All this work was just to let us treat protocol types as
first-class values.

This intentionally changes the mangling of variable getters and
setters so that we can have a reproducible mangling that doesn't
depend on things like the variables names, which is important
for resilience. It's not currently important for subscripting,
although equally I see no reason to mangle in the subscript
pattern name.
Swift SVN r1590
exactly how the arguments are emitted. Introduce a new code path
which emits arguments from existing Explosions (possibly of the wrong
resilience level). Use that code path to implement getter/setter
code for MemberRefExpr l-values. This is just a checkpoint for the
latter two parts, but the ApplyExpr path is working correctly in the
new framework, which is worth a commit.
