The Protocol field isn't really necessary, because the conformance
stores the protocol. But we do need the substituted subject type
of the requirement, just temporarily, until an abstract conformance
stores its own subject type too.
* let `SIL.Type` conform to `TypeProperties` to share the implementation of common type properties between the AST types and `SIL.Type`
* call references to an `AST.Type` `rawType` (instead of just `type`)
* remove unneeded stuff
* add comments
When creating a specialized witness table, we need to get the right specialized conformance.
In IRGen don't emit associated conformance witness table entries if the protocol is not a class protocol.
In this case the associated type can never be used to create an existential. Therefore such a witness table entry is never used at runtime in embedded swift.

* fix a false error if a derived class has different generic parameters than its base class
* fix a similar problem if a non-generic class derives from a generic class
* fix a compiler crash for calling a class method on a class metatype

As the optimizer uses more and more AST stuff, it's now time to create an "AST" module.
Initially it defines following AST datastructures:
* declarations: `Decl` + derived classes
* `Conformance`
* `SubstitutionMap`
* `Type` and `CanonicalType`
Some of those were already defined in the SIL module and are now moved to the AST module.
This change also cleans up a few things:
* proper definition of `NominalTypeDecl`-related APIs in `SIL.Type`
* rename `ProtocolConformance` to `Conformance`
* use `AST.Type`/`AST.CanonicalType` instead of `BridgedASTType` in SIL and the Optimizer
MandatoryPerformanceOptimizations already did most of the vtable specialization work.
So it makes sense to remove the VTableSpecializerPass completely and do everything in MandatoryPerformanceOptimizations.
