Sema: Simplify representation of vararg forwarding
VarargExpansionExpr shows up in call argument lists in synthesized
initializers and modify accessors when we need to forward arguments
to a call taking varargs.
Previously we would say that the type of VarargExpansionExpr is
$T when its subexpression type is [$T]. matchCallArguments() would
then 'collect' the single VarargExpansionExpr into a variadic
argument list with a single element, and build an ArgumentShuffleExpr
for the argument list.
In turn, SILGen would peephole vararg emission of a variadic
argument list with a single entry that happens to be a
VarargExpansionExpr, by returning the subexpression's value,
which happened to be an array of the right element type,
instead of building a new array containing the elements of the
variadic argument list.
This was all too complicated. Instead, let's say that the type of
a VarargExpansionExpr is [$T], except that when it appears in a
TupleExpr, the variadic bit of the corresponding element is set.
Then, matchCallArguments() needs to support a case where both
the parameter and argument list have a matching vararg element.
In this case, instead of collecting multiple arguments into a
single variadic argument list, we treat the variadic argument like
an ordinary parameter, bypassing construction of the
ArgumentShuffleExpr altogether.
Finally, SILGen now needs to be able to emit a VarargExpansionExpr
in ordinary rvalue position, since it now appears as a child of a
TupleExpr; it can do this by simply emitting the sub-expression
to produce an array value.
