- 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.

- Superclasses are now always laid out 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
weren't packed correctly (the ASTRecordLayout was correct however,
which meant our debug info didn't coincide with ivar offsets, for
example).
- This is still very suboptimal, but I believe the ivar layout itself
is now at least close to correct.

@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.
- This is somewhat less efficient, but I need to detangle this code
first...

- The confusing IRgen bitfield interface is partly to blame here;
fixing the functional error for now, cleanups to the interface to
follow.

- This was particularly bad since I fixed one instance of this name
and not another, meaning we got an LLVM module with the same
effective name in two different globals!

- Set alignment on property lists.
- 32-bit:
o Set section on property lists.
o Fix section name for category class methods.
o Fix symbol name for property lists.
o Fix section name for class method.
o Set alignment and section on class extension structure.
o Set alignment on a number of things: instance variables, methods,
method descriptions, the symbols structure.
- 64-bit:
o Fix section flags for protocol list.
I doubt most of these were problems in practice, but it is nice to
match llvm-gcc.
