Erik Eckstein 64dd574bea embedded: change the function representation of directly called witness methods
This is needed in Embedded Swift because the `witness_method` convention requires passing the witness table to the callee.
However, the witness table is not necessarily available.
A witness table is only generated if an existential value of a protocol is created.

This is a rare situation because only witness thunks have `witness_method` convention and those thunks are created as "transparent" functions, which means they are always inlined (after de-virtualization of a witness method call).
However, inlining - even of transparent functions - can fail for some reasons.

This change adds a new EmbeddedWitnessCallSpecialization pass:
If a function with `witness_method` convention is directly called, the function is specialized by changing the convention to `method` and the call is replaced by a call to the specialized function:

```
  %1 = function_ref @callee : $@convention(witness_method: P) (@guaranteed C) -> ()
  %2 = apply %1(%0) : $@convention(witness_method: P) (@guaranteed C) -> ()
...
sil [ossa] @callee : $@convention(witness_method: P) (@guaranteed C) -> () {
  ...
}
```
->
```
  %1 = function_ref @$e6calleeTfr9 : $@convention(method) (@guaranteed C) -> ()
  %2 = apply %1(%0) : $@convention(method) (@guaranteed C) -> ()
...
// specialized callee
sil shared [ossa] @$e6calleeTfr9 : $@convention(method) (@guaranteed C) -> () {
  ...
}
```
