When developing a module for an OS or SDK, one may use declarations from other modules that were recently introduced in the in-development OS. Those declarations will be annotated as available at the deployment target of the client module and yet the symbols for that declaration are not available in all development builds of that OS. If the module strongly links those symbols, it will crash on older development builds of the OS. The `-enable-experimental-ad-hoc-availability` flag is designed to give developers the option of weakly linking all symbols in other modules that were introduced at the deployment target. This change introduces the basic change in linking behavior but does not address typechecking. Use of the declarations that are made unavailable in this mode will need to be diagnosed and developers will need a way to detect the unavailability at runtime before use. Resolves rdar://96011550
