Doug Gregor 9f72215bba Basic SIL- and IR-generation support for trivial uses of DynamicSelf.
Introduce a new AST node to capture the covariant function type
conversion for DynamicSelf. This conversion differs from the normal
function-conversion expressions because it isn't inherently type-safe;
type safety is assured through DynamicSelf.  

On the SIL side, map DynamicSelf down to the type of the declaring
class to keep the SIL type system consistent. Map the new
CovariantFunctionConversionExpr down to a convert_function
instruction, slightly loosening the constraints on convert_function to
allow for this (it's always been ABI-compatible-only conversions
anyway).

We currently generate awful SIL when calling a DynamicSelf method,
because SILGenApply doesn't know how to deal with the implicit return
type adjustment associated with the covariant function
conversion. That optimization will follow; at least what we have here
is (barely) functional.
