The inference of _Nullable for weak Objective-C properties was broken
in several ways:
* It was back-patching the type information very late in the process
of checking the attributes for an Objective-C property, which is
just wrong.
* It was using ad hoc checks to try to suppress the warning about
missing nullability specifiers (-Wnullability-completeness), which
didn't actual work in all cases (rdar://problem/22985457)
* It was inferring _Nullable even outside of assumes-nonnull regions,
which is wrong.
Putting the inference of _Nullable for weak Objective-C properties in
the same place as all of the other inference logic fixes all of these
ills.

When messaging a method that was defined in an Objective-C class (or
category or extension thereof) that has type parameters, substitute
the type arguments for those type parameters. Similarly, substitute
into property accesses, instance variables, and other references.
This includes general infrastructure for substituting the type
arguments associated with an ObjCObject(Pointer)Type into a type
referenced within a particular context, handling all of the
substitutions required to deal with (e.g.) inheritance involving
parameterized classes. In cases where no type arguments are available
(e.g., because we're messaging via some unspecialized type, id, etc.),
we substitute in the type bounds for the type parameters instead.
Example:
@interface NSSet<T : id<NSCopying>> : NSObject <NSCopying>
- (T)firstObject;
@end
void f(NSSet<NSString *> *stringSet, NSSet *anySet) {
[stringSet firstObject]; // produces NSString*
[anySet firstObject]; // produces id<NSCopying> (the bound)
}
When substituting for the type parameters given an unspecialized
context (i.e., no specific type arguments were given), substituting
the type bounds unconditionally produces type signatures that are too
strong compared to the pre-generics signatures. Instead, use the
following rule:
- In covariant positions, such as method return types, replace type
parameters with “id” or “Class” (the latter only when the type
parameter bound is “Class” or qualified class, e.g,
“Class<NSCopying>”)
- In other positions (e.g., parameter types), replace type
parameters with their type bounds.
- When a specialized Objective-C object or object pointer type
contains a type parameter in its type arguments (e.g.,
NSArray<T>*, but not NSArray<NSString *> *), replace the entire
object/object pointer type with its unspecialized version (e.g.,
NSArray *).

Addresses a conflict with glibc's __nonnull macro by renaming the type
nullability qualifiers as follows:
__nonnull -> _Nonnull
__nullable -> _Nullable
__null_unspecified -> _Null_unspecified
This is the major part of rdar://problem/21530726, but does not yet
provide the Darwin-specific behavior for the old names.

That is,
void cf2(CFTypeRef * __nullable p CF_RETURNS_NOT_RETAINED);
is equivalent to
void cf2(CFTypeRef __nullable * __nullable p CF_RETURNS_NOT_RETAINED);

Adds a new warning (under -Wnullability-completeness) that complains
about pointer, block pointer, or member pointer declarations that have
not been annotated with nullability information (directly or inferred)
within a header that contains some nullability annotations. This is
intended to be used to help maintain the completeness of nullability
information within a header that has already been audited.
Note that, for performance reasons, this warning will underrepresent
the number of non-annotated pointers in the case where more than one
pointer is seen before the first nullability type specifier, because
we're only tracking one piece of information per header. Part of
rdar://problem/18868820.

Introduce the clang pragmas "assume_nonnull begin" and "assume_nonnull
end" in which we make default assumptions about the nullability of many
unannotated pointers:
- Single-level pointers are inferred to __nonnull
- NSError** in a (function or method) parameter list is inferred to
NSError * __nullable * __nullable.
- CFErrorRef * in a (function or method) parameter list is inferred
to CFErrorRef __nullable * __nullable.
- Other multi-level pointers are never inferred to anything.
Implements rdar://problem/19191042.

Language-design credit goes to a lot of people, but I particularly want
to single out Blaine Garst and Patrick Beard for their contributions.
Compiler implementation credit goes to Argyrios, Doug, Fariborz, and myself,
in no particular order.
