Use the generic type lowering algorithm described in
"docs/CallingConvention.rst#physical-lowering" to map from IRGen's explosion
type to the type expected by the ABI.
Change IRGen to use the swift calling convention (swiftcc) for native swift
functions.
Use the 'swiftself' attribute on self parameters and for closures contexts.
Use the 'swifterror' parameter for swift error parameters.
Change functions in the runtime that are called as native swift functions to use
the swift calling convention.

Similarly to how we've always handled parameter types, we
now recursively expand tuples in result types and separately
determine a result convention for each result.
The most important code-generation change here is that
indirect results are now returned separately from each
other and from any direct results. It is generally far
better, when receiving an indirect result, to receive it
as an independent result; the caller is much more likely
to be able to directly receive the result in the address
they want to initialize, rather than having to receive it
in temporary memory and then copy parts of it into the
target.
The most important conceptual change here that clients and
producers of SIL must be aware of is the new distinction
between a SILFunctionType's *parameters* and its *argument
list*. The former is just the formal parameters, derived
purely from the parameter types of the original function;
indirect results are no longer in this list. The latter
includes the indirect result arguments; as always, all
the indirect results strictly precede the parameters.
Apply instructions and entry block arguments follow the
argument list, not the parameter list.
A relatively minor change is that there can now be multiple
direct results, each with its own result convention.
This is a minor change because I've chosen to leave
return instructions as taking a single operand and
apply instructions as producing a single result; when
the type describes multiple results, they are implicitly
bound up in a tuple. It might make sense to split these
up and allow e.g. return instructions to take a list
of operands; however, it's not clear what to do on the
caller side, and this would be a major change that can
be separated out from this already over-large patch.
Unsurprisingly, the most invasive changes here are in
SILGen; this requires substantial reworking of both call
emission and reabstraction. It also proved important
to switch several SILGen operations over to work with
RValue instead of ManagedValue, since otherwise they
would be forced to spuriously "implode" buffers.
This prevents the linker from trying to emit relative relocations to locally-defined public symbols into dynamic libraries, which gives ld.so heartache.
@inout parameters can be nocapture and dereferenceable. @in, @in_guaranteed, and indirected @direct parameters can be noalias, nocapture, and dereferenceable.

All llvm::Functions created during IRGen will have target-cpu and target-features
attributes if they are non-null.
Update testing cases to expect the attribute in function definition.
Add testing case function-target-features.swift to verify target-cpu and
target-features.

We have to guarantee memory safety in the presence of the user violating the
inout assumption. Claiming NoAlias for parameters that might alias is not
memory safe because LLVM will optimize based on that assumption.
Unfortunately, this means that llvm can't optimize arrays as aggressively. For
example, the load of array->buffer won't get hoisted out of loops (this is the
Sim2DArray regression below).

We still preserve IRGen's current ordering of vtable slots, but use SIL's record of which SILFunction implements which method instead of walking overrides independently. Another step on the way to rdar://problem/19321484; if SILGen determines that a thunk is needed to interface an override with its base method, IRGen will now pick it up. (Thunk generation is still busted in certain inheritance cases I need to fix before declaring victory though.)

Most tests were using %swift or similar substitutions, which did not
include the target triple and SDK. The driver was defaulting to the
host OS. Thus, we could not run the tests when the standard library was
not built for OS X.

The instruction isn't expressive enough to represent an arbitrary indirect cast, which may need a buffer to change the value's representation, and it looks like we don't exercise this legacy capability anymore.

functions, and make those functions memoize the result.
This memoization can be both threadsafe and extremely
fast because of the memory ordering rules of the platforms
we're targeting: x86 is very permissive, and ARM has a
very convenient address-dependence rule which happens to
exactly match the semantics we need.

lldb needs this to be able to tell how many generic parameters are actually needed to instantiate a generic type. Fixes <rdar://problem/17425286>.

I've put these fields on the class object for now, just
so we can at least theoretically update them. A superclass
that grew left rather than right could maybe even be made
to work with this schema, but probably not.

We really don't need to support individual objects
this large, much less more than 4 billion fields in
a single type.
Also rearrange the fields to bring the instance
size/alignment fields closer to the class header,
just for a minor locality win.
