4e39e59a8a Add a field reflection function that constructs keypaths. (#34815)
While the existing _forEachField in ReflectionMirror.swift
already gives the offsets and types for each field, this isn't
enough information to construct a keypath for that field in
order to modify it.

For reference, this should be sufficent to implement the features
described here: (https://forums.swift.org/t/storedpropertyiterable/19218/62)
purely at runtime without any derived conformances for many types.

Note: Since there isn't enough reflection information for
`.mutatingGetSet` fields, this means that we're not able to support
reflecting certain types of fields (functions, nonfinal class fields,
etc). Whether this is an error or not is controlled by the `.ignoreUnknown`
option.

3af1deb447 [stdlib] Add _forEachField(of:options:body:) function (#32873)
This function walks all the fields of a struct, class, or tuple, and calls
`body` with the name, offset, and type of each field. `body` can perform
any required work or validation, returning `true` to continue walking fields
or `false` to stop immediately.
