This change set incorporates a number of changes that all needed to
happen together:
* The imp is now the first field of the `objc_method` structure. This
makes it possible to extend the structure without breaking anything
that relies on being able to access the IMP.
* There is no owner in the slot, so we must use other mechanisms for
determining the owner of a method (e.g. whether the same method appears
in the superclass)
* Again, because there is no owner in the slot, we can't use this as a
fast path for finding the C++ construct / destruct methods. These are
now cached in the class structure when they are found.
* The version field is gone from the slot and now we provide a global
version. This is based on the observation that method replacements
are relatively infrequent and the overhead of invalidating all method
caches is cheaper than adding extra state for every (class, method)
pair.
* A number of the runtime functions are simplified because replacing
the IMP in a `Method` now implicitly updates the dtable.
at the start of the structure, making it easier to change the layout in
the future.
Also clean up the growth of various fields and consolidate some of the
metadata into a pointer to the `struct objc_method`.
Imported selector table code frm the Étoilé runtime. We can now make dispatch type dependent with a -D switch. Not enabled yet, but it will be enabled in a warning mode soon - I consider preferable to the existing GNU and Apple solution of corrupting the stack.
