The dumper method dumps:
1. The container's metadata pointer.
2. A pointer to the container's value.
3. Whether or not said value is stored inline in the container.
This provides a general overview that can be used even when working with SIL
code in the debugger by grabbing a pointer to swift Anys and then calling the
c++ any method upon them.
The verifier is intended to be used in conjunction with ASAN for maximum
effect to catch use-after-frees of existential boxes.
While implementing this I refactored some code from ExistentialTypeMetadata into
methods on OpaqueExistentialContainer. ExistentialTypeMetadata just calls these
methods now instead of implementing the code inline.
The COW existential implementation sets the existential box's
new value but fails to set the box's new type. Hijinks ensue
when the new value is later used as if it were of the old type.

Adds the runtime implementation for copy-on-write existentials. This support is
enabled if SWIFT_RUNTIME_ENABLE_COW_EXISTENTIALS is defined. Focus is on
correctness -- not performance yet.
Don't use allocate/deallocate/projectBuffer witnesses for globals in cow
existential mode.
Use SWIFT_RUNTIME_ENABLE_COW_EXISTENTIALS configuration to set the default for
SILOptions.
This includes an IRGen fix to use the right projection in
emitMetatypeOfOpaqueExistential if SWIFT_RUNTIME_ENABLE_COW_EXISTENTIALS is set.
Use unknownRetain instead of native retain in dynamicCastToExistential.
This affects the computed stride for fixed-sized types in IRGen as well as the stored stride in value witness tables.
The reason is to let comparisons and difference operations work for pointers to zero-sized types.
(Currently this is achieved by using Builtin.strideof_nonzero in MemoryLayout.stride, but this requires a std::max(1, stride) operation after loading the stride)
The standard library has grown significantly, and we need a new
directory structure that clearly reflects the role of the APIs, and
allows future growth.
See stdlib/{public,internal,private}/README.txt for more information.
