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.

Also, suggest 'readonly' even if the property has been given an ownership
attribute ('strong', 'weak', etc). This is used when properties are declared
readonly in the public interface but readwrite in a class extension.

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.

declaration by providing patterns for "getter = <method>" and "setter
= <method>". As part of this, invented a new "pattern" result kind
that is merely a semantic string. The "pattern" result kind should
help with other kinds of code templates.
