This commit adds tracking of the reason a declaration reference is potentially
unavailable to the UnavailableToOptionalExpr AST node and to OverloadChoice. We
will use this reason during SILGen to emit the appropriate run-time check and
during typechecking to provide more helpful diagnostics.
To keep OverloadChoice as small as possible, we encode the reason as an index
into a vector of reasons stored in a given instance of ConstraintSystem (this is
the same approach that Fix takes).
This commit adds Sema/OverloadChoice.cpp (for the parts of OverloadChoice that
now rely on ConstraintSystem) and AST/Availability.h (to bring in
availability-related structures without TypeRefinementContext).

This patch adds the ability (-enable-experimental-unavailable-as-optional) to
treat potentially unavailable declarations as if they had optional types. For
the moment, this is only implemented for global variables.
The high-level approach is to (1) record the potential unavailability of a
declaration reference in the overload choice during constraint generation; (2)
treat the declaration as if it had an optional type during overload resolution
(this is similar to how optional protocol members are treated); and (3) add an
implicit conversion (UnavailableToOptionalExpr) during constraint application
to represent the run-time availability check and optional injection.
This patch does not implement SILGen for UnavailableToOptionalExpr.

When we see a '.member' expression in optional context, look for the member in the optional's object type if it isn't found in Optional itself. <rdar://problem/16125392>

This makes categories of NSString, NSArray, and NSDictionary available
on String, Array, and Dictionary. Note that we only consider
categories not present in the Objective-C Foundation module, because
we want to manually map those APIs ourselves. Hence, no changes to the
NSStringAPI. Implements <rdar://problem/13653329>.

Overload bindings constraints bind a given type to a specific overload
choice. This is a step toward moving overload sets into normal
disjunction constraints.
Part of the work here is to eliminate the constraint system's
dependence on OverloadSet, which will be going away in favor of a
disjunction constraint.
