Tailored error reporting when dynamic casts have nonsensical type args
This inserts a suitably named function into the stack trace whenever a dynamic cast failure involves a NULL source or target type. Very often, crash logs include backtraces with function names but no log output; with this change, such a backtrace might look like the following -- note TARGET_TYPE_NULL in the function name here to mark the missing type information:
frame #0: __pthread_kill + 8
frame #1: pthread_kill + 288
frame #2: abort + 128
frame #3: swift::fatalErrorv()
frame #4: swift::fatalError()
frame #5: swift_dynamicCastFailure_TARGET_TYPE_NULL()
frame #6: swift::swift_dynamicCastFailure()
frame #7: ::swift_dynamicCast()
