Add SILFunctionType::getAutoDiffDerivativeFunctionType.

It computes the derivative SILFunctionType for an "original" SILFunctionType, given:

  • Differentiability parameter indices
  • Differentiability result index
  • Derivative function kind
  • Derivative function generic signature (optional)
  • Other auxiliary parameters

Add doc comments explaining typing rules, preconditions, and other details.

Partially resolves TF-1124.
Unblocks upstreaming other SIL differentiable programming infrastructure.

@rxwei: could you please help suggest additional reviewers, if you feel it's appropriate?

Edit: in an offline chat, @rxwei recommended Joe Groff/Andy Trick/Michael Gottesman as SIL code reviewers.

@jckarter: would you like to review this PR, or suggest a reviewer? I'm asking you since you seem like a SIL code owner.

This PR is part of our effort to upstream differentiable programming. It adds a utility function and should be relatively non-controversial.

If there's no activity, I'll merge within a day to unblock progress. Happy to address feedback at any time!

Makes sense to me.
