John McCall db8f23df74 Update the ABI for uniquing foreign type metadata. ...

- `swift_getForeignTypeMetadata` is now a request/response function.

- The initialization function is now a completion function, and the
  pointer to it has moved into the type descriptor.

- The cache variable is no longer part of the ABI; it's an
  implementation detail of the access function.

- The two points above mean that there is no special header on foreign
  type metadata and therefore that they can be marked constant when
  there isn't something about them that needs to be initialized.

The only foreign-metadata initialization we actually do right now is
of the superclass field of a foreign class, and since that relationship
is a proper DAG, it's not actually possible to have recursive
initialization problems.  But this is the right long-term thing to do,
and it removes one of the last two clients of once-based initialization.
