Specialize and improve the "downcast only unwraps optionals"
diagnostic to provide specific diagnostics + Fix-Its for the various
casts of forced cast, conditional cast, and "isa" check. Specifically:
* With a forced cast, customize the diagnostic. We still insert the
appropriate number of !'s, but now we remove the 'as! T' (if an
implicit conversion would suffice) or replace the 'as!' with 'as'
(if we still need a bridge)
* With a conditional cast, only emit a diagnostic if we're removing
just one level of optional. In such cases, we either have a no-op
(an implicit conversion would do) or we could just use 'as' to the
optional type, so emit a customized warning to do that. If we are
removing more than one level of optional, don't complain:
conditional casts can remove optionals. Add the appropriate Fix-Its
here.
* With an 'is' expression, only emit a diagnostic if we're removing
just one level of optional. In this case, the 'is' check is
equivalent to '!= nil'. Add a Fix-It for that.
Across the board, reduce the error to a warning. These are
semantically-well-formed casts, it's just that they could be written
better.

The type checker implements logic for handling checked casts in two
places: the constraint solver (for type-checking expressions
containing "as!" or "as?") and as a top-level entrypoint for
type-checking as?/as! for diagnostics and is/as patterns. Needless to
say, the two implementations were inconsistent, and in fact both were
wrong, leading to various problems---rejecting perfectly-valid "as!"
and "as?" casts outright, bogus warnings that particular as!/as? casts
always-succeed or always-fail when they wouldn't, and so on.
Start detangling the mess in two ways. First, drastically simplify the
handling of checked casts in the constraint solver, eliminating the
unprincipled "subtype" constraint checks that (among other things)
broke the handling of checked casts that involved bridging or optional
unwrapping. The simpler code is more permissive and more correct; it
essentially accepts that the user knows what she is doing with the
cast.
Second, make the type checker's checking of casts far more thorough,
which includes:
* When we're performing a collection cast, actually check that the
element types (and key types, for a dictionary) are castable, rather
than assuming all collection casts are legitimate. This means we'll
get more useful "always fails" and "always succeeds" diagnostics for
array/set/dictionary.
* Handle casts from a bridged value type to a subclass of the
corresponding bridged class type. Previously, these would be
incorrectly classified as "always fails".
While I'm here, eliminate a spurious diagnostic that occurs when using
a conditional cast ("as?") that could have been a coercion/bridging
conversion ("as"). The optional injection we synthesize to get the
resulting type correct was getting diagnosed as an implicit coercion,
but shouldn't have been.
Previously, bridging conversions were handled as a form of "explicit
conversion" that was treated along the same path as normal
conversions in matchTypes(). Historically, this made some
sense---bridging was just another form of conversion---however, Swift
now separates out bridging into a different kind of conversion that is
available only via an explicit "as". This change accomplishes a few
things:
* Improves type inference around "as" coercions. We were incorrectly
inferring type variables of the "x" in "x as T" in cases where a
bridging conversion was expected, which cause some type inference
failures (e.g., the SR-3319 regression).
* Detangles checking for bridging conversions from other conversions,
so it's easier to isolate when we're applying a bridging
conversion.
* Explicitly handle optionals when dealing with bridging conversions,
addressing a number of problems with incorrect diagnostics, e.g.,
complains about "unrelated type" cast failures that would succeed at
runtime.

Follow the pattern set by isDictionaryType() of performing the query
and extracting the underlying key/element types directly. We often
need both regardless. NFC
Otherwise, overload resolution and CSDiag disagree on what a viable
candidate is, so we can end up in a situation where the OverloadDeclRefExpr
has a concrete type that doesn't match the argument list in an ApplyExpr,
which causes a crash in CSDiag.
Metatypes do not have member types and trying to look one up on a
generic parameter would cause a crash.
InOutTypes are not materializable and we should never be performing
name lookup into them.
Instead, propagate the decision from the associated storage decl (var
or subscript), using the mechanisms that are already in place.

We currently have an element in the solution score related to whether we
had a binding or equality constraint involving Any.
Doing this yields some strange results, e.g. if overload resolution
results in a property declared as Any we end up discarding that solution
in favor of solutions that involve other overloads that are not declared
as Any but are also not actually better solutions (e.g. overloads that
are declared as function types).
We really want to retain both solutions in this case and allow the
ranking step of the solver to decide on the better choice.

Like 9fba89bd, typealiases in parameter position were sometimes
canonicalized away in Swift 3.0, leading to the compiler not
diagnosing improper uses of typealiases. These only occurred in "safe"
circumstances where the typealias wouldn't be leaked to clients of a
library (that is, a client would never see a name they wouldn't be
allowed to type), but it was inconsistent with other typealiases
(which were preserved) and did not follow the intended model.
This particular issue comes from typealiases for function types
needing to be marked as non-escaping in the compiler when used in
parameter position, which requires rebuilding the function type. This
lost the original "spelling" of the parameter as using a typealias in
its type, which meant the compiler did not see it. The change in
a32e11a0d to use TypeReprs to check access meant the model was now
correctly enforced, but broke source compatibility for this
"accidental feature".
The fix is to track when a typealias for a function type is being used
in parameter position, and to not check its access in that case.

Based off the PlaygroundTransform, this new ASTWalker leaves calls to __builtin_pc_before and __builtin_pc_after before and after a user would expect a program counter to enter a range of source code.
Previously, validateDecl() would check if the declaration had an
interface type and use that as an indication not to proceed.
However for functions we can only set an interface type after
checking the generic signature, so a recursive call to validateDecl()
on a function would "steal" the outer call and complete validation.
For generic types, this meant we could have a declaration with a
valid interface type but no generic signature.
Both cases were problematic, so narrow workarounds were put in
place with additional new flags. This made the code harder to
reason about.
This patch consolidates the flags and establishes new invariants:
- If validateDecl() returns and the declaration has no interface
type and the isBeingValidated() flag is not set, it means one
of the parent contexts is being validated by an outer recursive
call.
- If validateDecl() returns and the declaration has the
isBeingValidated() flag set, it may or may not have an interface
type. In this case, the declaration itself is being validated
by an outer recursive call.
- If validateDecl() returns and the declaration has an interface
type and the isBeingValidated() flag is not set, it means the
declaration and all of its parent contexts are fully validated
and ready for use.
In general, we still want name lookup to find things that have an
interface type but are not in a valid generic context, so for this
reason nominal types and associated types get an interface type as
early as possible.
Most other code only wants to see fully formed decls, so a new
hasValidSignature() method returns true iff the interface type is
set and the isBeingValidated() flag is not set.
For example, while resolving a type, we can resolve an unqualified
reference to a nominal type without a valid signature. However, when
applying generic parameters, the hasValidSignature() flag is used
to ensure we error out instead of crashing if the generic signature
has not yet been formed.
Until recently we didn't allow nested generic types at all.
In Swift 3, generic typealiases were added, and we forgot to
guard against them in witness matching, leading to a crash if
a generic typealias witnesses an associated type requirement.
Now that nested generic nominals are allowed too, add a check.
The diagnostic is not very good, but I'll revisit this later.
This catches another case where resolveType() could cause infinite
recursion. No test case, but this prevents crashers from regressing
with a subsequent patch.
