This instruction converts Builtin.ImplicitActor to Optional<any Actor>. In the
process of doing so, it masks out the bits we may have stolen from the witness
table pointer of Builtin.ImplicitActor. The bits that we mask out are the bottom
two bits of the top nibble of the TBI space on platforms that support TBI (that
is bit 60,61 on arm64). On platforms that do not support TBI, we just use the
bottom two tagged pointer bits (0,1).
By using an instruction, we avoid having to represent the bitmasking that we are
performing at the SIL level and can instead just make the emission of the
bitmasking an IRGen detail. It also allows us to move detection if we are
compiling for AArch64 to be an IRGen flag instead of a LangOpts flag.
The instruction is a guaranteed forwarding instruction since we want to treat
its result as a borrowed projection from the Builtin.ImplicitActor.
