This attribute can be attached to a noncopyable struct to specify that its
storage is raw, meaning the type definition is (with some limitations)
able to do as it pleases with the storage. This provides a basis for
implementing types for things like atomics, locks, and data structures
that use inline storage to store conditionally-initialized values.
The example in `test/Prototypes/UnfairLock.swift` demonstrates the use
of a raw layout type to wrap Darwin's `os_unfair_lock` APIs, allowing
a lock value to be stored inside of classes or other types without
needing a separate allocation, and using the borrow model to enforce
safe access to lock-guarded storage.
Implements several enhancements to DiagnosticEngine’s handling of Decl arguments:
• All Decl classes, not just ValueDecls, are now valid to use as arguments.
• There is built-in logic to handle accessors by printing a phrase like `getter for 'foo'`, so this no longer has to be special-cased for each diagnostic.
• `%kind` can be used to insert the descriptive kind before a name; `%kindonly` inserts only the descriptive kind. This can eliminate kind/name argument pairs.
• `%base` can insert only the base name, leaving out any argument labels; `%kindbase` combines `%kind` and `%base`.
This PR is marked NFC because there are no intentional uses of these changes yet.
Attribute @_silgen_name is today only allowed to be used on functions, this change allows usage on globals as well. The motivation for that is to be able to "forward declare" globals just like it's today possible to do with functions (for the cases where it's not practical or convenient to use a bridging header).
Separately, this change also adds a @_silgen_name(raw: ...) syntax, which simply avoids mangling the name (by using the \01 name prefix that LLVM uses). The motivation for that is to be able to reference the "magic Darwin linker symbols" that can be used to look up section bounds (in the current dylib/module) -- those symbols don't use the underscore prefix in their mangled names.
The `bare` attribute indicates that the object header is not used throughout the lifetime of the value.
This means, no reference counting operations are performed on the object and its metadata is not used.
The header of bare objects doesn't need to be initialized.

The new alloc_pack_metadata and dealloc_pack_metadata are inserted as
part of IRGen lowering. The former indicates that the next instruction
might result in on-stack pack metadata being emitted. The latter
indicates that this is the position at which metadata emitted on behalf
of its operand should be cleaned up.
* Add @_used and @_section attributes for global variables and top-level functions
This adds:
- @_used attribute that flags as a global variable or a top-level function as
"do not dead-strip" via llvm.used, roughly the equivalent of
__attribute__((used)) in C/C++.
- @_section("...") attribute that places a global variable or a top-level
function into a section with that name, roughly the equivalent of
__attribute__((section("..."))) in C/C++.
- replaces "move-only" terminology with "noncopyable"
- replaces compiler jargon like "guaranteed parameters"
and "lvalue" with corresponding language-level notions
- simplifies diagnostics about closures.
and probably more.

Macro expansions are currently written to disk using the mangled name of
the macro. Do not use operators that only differ in case-sensitivity to
avoid issues on case-insensitive filesystems.
