driving a canonical difference between that and an unqualified
type is a really bad idea when both are valid. Instead, remember
that it was there in a non-canonical way, then look for that in
the one place we really care about it: block captures. The net
effect closely resembles the behavior of a decl attribute, except
still closely following ARC's standard qualifier parsing rules.

Previously, __weak was silently accepted and ignored in MRC mode.
That makes this a potentially source-breaking change that we have to
roll out cautiously. Accordingly, for the time being, actual support
for __weak references in MRC is experimental, and the compiler will
reject attempts to actually form such references. The intent is to
eventually enable the feature by default in all non-GC modes.
(It is, of course, incompatible with ObjC GC's interpretation of
__weak.)
If you like, you can enable this feature with
-Xclang -fobjc-weak
but like any -Xclang option, this option may be removed at any point,
e.g. if/when it is eventually enabled by default.
This patch also enables the use of the ARC __unsafe_unretained qualifier
in MRC. Unlike __weak, this is being enabled immediately. Since
variables are essentially __unsafe_unretained by default in MRC,
the only practical uses are (1) communication and (2) changing the
default behavior of by-value block capture.
As an implementation matter, this means that the ObjC ownership
qualifiers may appear in any ObjC language mode, and so this patch
removes a number of checks for getLangOpts().ObjCAutoRefCount
that were guarding the processing of these qualifiers. I don't
expect this to be a significant drain on performance; it may even
be faster to just check for these qualifiers directly on a type
(since it's probably in a register anyway) than to do N dependent
loads to grab the LangOptions.
