Add tensorflow/swift-apis as a SwiftPM dependency.

[dan-zheng]

Motivation

This enables building tensorflow/swift-models using stock toolchains from swift.org/download.

swift build will clone and build tensorflow/swift-apis as a regular SwiftPM dependency. Eventually, we would like to stop releasing custom toolchains bundled with pre-installed tensorflow/swift-apis.

Build instructions

It is possible to build tensorflow/swift-apis and dependencies like tensorflow/swift-models using stock toolchains by installing pre-built X10 libraries (currently available only for macOS and Windows).

After installing (e.g. to $HOME/Library on macOS), build with SwiftPM via the following:

$ swift build -Xcc -I$HOME/Library/tensorflow-2.4.0/usr/include -Xlinker -L$HOME/Library/tensorflow-2.4.0/usr/lib -Xswiftc -DTENSORFLOW_USE_STANDARD_TOOLCHAIN

swift test is known not to work on macOS for tensorflow/swift-apis and dependencies due to SR-14008: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/swift/libswift_Differentiation.dylib.

Testing

Before merging, let's verify that swift build, swift run, and swift test works for swift.org/download toolchains across platforms:

• [x] macOS: swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2021-01-04-a-osx.pkg
  • swift run and swift test currently both fail due to SR-14008:

$ swift run Benchmarks -Xcc -I$HOME/Library/tensorflow-2.4.0/usr/include -Xlinker -L$HOME/Library/tensorflow-2.4.0/usr/lib -Xswiftc -DTENSORFLOW_USE_STANDARD_TOOLCHAIN
ld: warning: dylib (/Users/danielzheng/Library/tensorflow-2.4.0/usr/lib/libx10.dylib) was built for newer macOS version (10.15) than being linked (10.13)

I can confirm the same run failure locally:

 swift-linear-regression % swift run -Xswiftc -DTENSORFLOW_USE_STANDARD_TOOLCHAIN -Xcc -I/Library/tensorflow-2.4.0/usr/include -Xlinker -L/Library/tensorflow-2.4.0/usr/lib

That may be a different failure. _Differentiation should now load. You could try copying the libx10.dylib binary into the Swift build products folder after compiling. In addition, it should not be necessary to pass libx10 into the linker settings for swift build or swift test, at least on macOS.
