Doug Gregor 1b2a2c9b90 [GSB/IRGen] Allow redundant inheritance of the JSExport protocol. ...

Inheritance of a protocol from JavaScriptCore's JSExport protocol is
used to indicate that the methods and properties of that protocol
should be exported to JavaScript. The actual check to determine
whether a protocol (directly) inherits JSExport is performed via the
Objective-C runtime. Note that the presence of JSExport in the
protocol hierarchy is not sufficient; the protocol must directly
inherit JSExport.

Swift warns about redundant conformance requirements and eliminates
them from the requirement signature (and, therefore, the Objective-C
metadata). This behavior is incorrect for JSExport, because the
conformance is actually needed for this API to work properly.

Recognize a protocol's inheritance JSExport specifically (by
name) when computing the requirement signature of the protocol. When
we find such a redundancy, suppress the "redundant conformance
constraint" diagnostic and add a new (hidden) attribute
@_restatedObjCConformance(proto). The attribute is used only by Objective-C
protocol metadata emission to ensure that we get the expected metadata
in the Objective-C runtime.
