e5d87f75a8 [SIL] Add source formal type to checked_cast_br.
It is necessary for opaque values where for casts that will newly start
out as checked_cast_brs and be lowered to checked_cast_addr_brs, since
the latter has the source formal type, IRGen relies on being able to
access it, and there's no way in general to obtain the source formal
type from the source lowered type.

9474b9d1f0 Optimizer: add simplifications for checked_cast_br and unchecked_ref_cast
Look through `upcast` and `init_existential_ref` instructions and replace the operand of this cast instruction with the original value.
For example:
```
  %2 = upcast %1 : $Derived to $Base
  %3 = init_existential_ref %2 : $Base : $Base, $AnyObject
  checked_cast_br %3 : $AnyObject to Derived, bb1, bb2
```

This makes it more likely that the cast can be constant folded because the source operand's type is more accurate.
In the example above, the cast reduces to
```
  checked_cast_br %1 : $Derived to Derived, bb1, bb2
```
which can be trivially folded to always-succeeds.
