The idea is to segregate Objective-C "object" pointers from general C pointers (utilizing the recently added ObjCObjectPointerType). The fun starts in Sema::GetTypeForDeclarator(), where "SomeInterface *" is now represented by a single AST node (rather than a PointerType whose Pointee is an ObjCInterfaceType). Since a significant amount of code assumed ObjC object pointers where based on C pointers/structs, this patch is very tedious. It should also explain why it is hard to accomplish this in smaller, self-contained patches.
This patch does most of the "heavy lifting" related to moving from PointerType->ObjCObjectPointerType. It doesn't include all potential "cleanups". The good news is additional cleanups can be done later (some are noted in the code). This patch is so large that I didn't want to include any changes that are purely aesthetic.
By making the ObjC types truly built-in, they are much easier to work with (and require fewer "hacks"). For example, there is no need for ASTContext::isObjCIdStructType() or ASTContext::isObjCClassStructType()! We believe this change (and the follow-up cleanups) will pay dividends over time.
Given the amount of code change, I do expect some fallout from this change (though it does pass all of the clang tests). If you notice any problems, please let us know asap! Thanks.

Remove ASTContext parameter from DeclContext's methods. This change cascaded down to other Decl's methods and changes to call sites started "escalating".
Timings using pre-tokenized "cocoa.h" showed only a ~1% increase in time run between and after this commit.

The implementations of these methods can Use Decl::getASTContext() to get the ASTContext.
This commit touches a lot of files since call sites for these methods are everywhere.
I used pre-tokenized "carbon.h" and "cocoa.h" headers to do some timings, and there was no real time difference between before the commit and after it.

'used' attribute on some of its meta-data. This results in two
'llvm.used' arrays to be generated, and one of them is renamed to
'llvm.used1'.

compensating for super classes). This was making the reported class
sizes for empty classes very, very wrong.
- Also, we now report the size info for an empty class like gcc (as
the offset of the start, not as 0, 0).
- Add a few more test cases we were mishandling before (padding bit
field at end of struct, for example).

via CollectObjCIvars.
- In places where we need them, we should have the implementation and
access the properties through it.
This is a fairly substantial functionality change:
1. @encode no longer encodes synthesized ivars, ever.
2. The ivar layout bitmap no longer encodes information for
synthesized ivars in superclasses. Well, actually I had already
broken that, but it is intentional now.
We are now differing substantially from llvm-gcc and gcc
here. However, in my opinion this fundamentally *must* work if
non-fragile classes are to work. Without this change, the result of
@encode and the ivar layout depend on the order that the
implementation is seen in a file (if it is in the same file with its
superclass). Since both scenarios should work the same, our behavior
is now consistent with gcc behavior as if an implementation is never
seen following an implementation of its superclass.
Note that #2 is only a functionality change when (A) an
implementation appears in the same translation unit with the
implementation of its superclass, and (B) the superclass has
synthesized ivars. My belief is that this situation does not occur in
practice.
I am not yet sure of the role/semantics of @encode when synthesized
ivars are present... it's use is fairly unsound in a non-fragile world.

struct.
- We still need to do more lookup than necessary because ivars don't
live in a reasonable DeclContext.
- The only remaining client of the interface shadow struct is the

methods, class methods, and property implementations) and instead
place all of these entities into the DeclContext.
This eliminates more linear walks when looking for class or instance
methods and should make PCH (de-)serialization of ObjCDecls trivial
(and lazy).

Rework the shadow struct that is layed out for Objective-C classes.
- Superclasses are now always laid out in their shadow structure at
the first field.
- Prior to this, the entire class heirarchy was flattened into a
single structure which meant that alignment, padding, and bitfields
were incorrect (the ASTRecordLayout was correct however, which
meant our debug info didn't coincide with ivar offsets, for
example).
- This is still very suboptimal (for example, ivar are looked up
recursively, but I believe the ivar layout itself is now at least
close to correct.

- This has pros and cons, but for now the pros seem to significantly
outway the con.
The con is that we will always need to cast in the runtime
implementation to a struct type, if we wish to access an interface
directly.
The pros are:
- Avoid the cost of generating types which are used. Most
manipulation of Objective-C objects is done through messages, and
only the implementation of a class will directly access
memory. Previously, we would convert the type even if it only
appear as a function parameter, for example.
- We don't need to worry about incomplete types, and
UpdateCompletedType for interfaces is gone.
- It becomes easier to narrow the interface to the shadow struct for
Objective-C interfaces (so it can be eliminated).
Currently the runtimes still use the CodeGenTypes machinery to
generate the LLVM structure they need via ConvertTagDecl, but this can
eventually be replaced.

- For now, this means we are always doing the address computations by
hand instead of constructing a proper GEP. Right now, however, this
is less important than having fewer entry points to dealing with
Objective-C interface layout.

@implementation that closes a @class delcaration.
- I don't know how to make a test case for this, but this strengthens
the invariants that hold internally. The functionality change here
is the edit to SemaDeclObjC.cpp.

Drop uses of GetFirstInvarInRecord, instead we lookup the ivars we
know are in the record.
