Doug Gregor 757ebe2979 Future-proof the mangling of invertible protocols ...

Invertible protocols are currently always mangled with `Ri`, followed by
a single letter for each invertible protocol (e.g., `c` and `e` for
`Copyable` and `Escapable`, respectively), followed by the generic
parameter index. However, this requires that we extend the mangling
for any future invertible protocols, which mean they won't be
backward compatible.

Replace this mangling with one that mangles the bit # for the
invertible protocol, e.g., `Ri_` (followed by the generic parameter
index) is bit 0, which is `Copyable`. `Ri0_` (then generic parameter
index) is bit 1, which is `Escapable`. This allows us to round-trip
through mangled names for any invertible protocol, without any
knowledge of what the invertible protocol is, providing forward
compatibility. The same forward compatibility is present in all
metadata and the runtime, allowing us to add more invertible
protocols in the future without updating any of them, and also
allowing backward compatibility.

Only the demangling to human-readable strings maps the bit numbers
back to their names, and there's a fallback printing with just the bit
number when appropriate.

Also generalize the mangling a bit to allow for mangling of invertible
requirements on associated types, e.g., `S.Sequence: ~Copyable`. This
is currently unsupported by the compiler or runtime, but that may
change, and it was easy enough to finish off the mangling work for it.
