- Create the value witness table as a separate global object instead
of concatenating it to the metadata pattern.
- Always pass the metadata to the runtime and let the runtime handle
instantiating or modifying the value witness table.
- Pass the right layout algorithm version to the runtime; currently
this is always "Swift 5".
- Create a runtime function to instantiate single-case enums.
Among other things, this makes the copying of the VWT, and any
modifications of it, explicit and in the runtime, which is more
future-proof.
* IRGen: EmptyBoxType's representation cannot be nil because of a conflict with extra inhabitant assumption in indirect enums
We map nil to the .None case of Optional. Instead use a singleton object.

All generic bridgeable types can bridge for all their instantiations now. Removing this ferrets out some now-unnecessary traps that check for unbridgeable parameter types.
It's to be used by code produced by the ReleaseDevirtualizer.
As the function is only used for non-escaping objects, the deallocating bit is set non-atomically.
Instead of directly emitting calls to swift_getGenericMetadata*() and
referencing metadata templates, call a metadata accessor function
corresponding to the UnboundGenericType of the NominalTypeDecl.
The body of this accessor forwards arguments to a runtime metadata
instantiation function, together with the template.
Also, move some code around, so that metadata accesses which are
only done as part of the body of a metadata accessor function are
handled separately in emitTypeMetadataAccessFunction().
Apart from protocol conformances, this means metadata templates are
no longer referenced from outside the module where they were defined.
The runtime entry doesn't just report the error, unlike the other report* functions, it also does the crashing.
Reapplying independent of unrelated reverted patches.
Getting a superclass, instance extents, and whether a class is native-refcounted are all useful type API. De-underscore these functions and give them a consistent `swift[_objc]_class*` naming scheme.
Many of the report* entry points are specific to the stdlib assert implementation, so belong in the stdlib. Keep a single `reportError` entry point in the runtime to handle the CrashReporter/ASL interface, and call down to it from the assert implementation functions.
