This PR removes the C++ _section_ discovery logic that's used to look up Swift's type metadata sections. Instead, we reuse the new logic used for test content sections (written in Swift.)

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I can probably strip down these includes now, but will leave that for another PR.

This PR removes the C++ section discovery logic that's used to look up Swift's type metadata sections. Instead, we reuse the new logic used for test content sections (written in Swift.)
I did not attempt to translate to Swift the logic to extract Swift types from Swift's metadata records. This logic relies pretty heavily on precise C++ data structure layouts and uses pointer authentication as well as relative pointers. Swift does not guarantee the same structure layout as C++, nor does it provide API for pointer authentication, nor do value types in Swift have stable addresses that can be used to compute addresses from relative offsets.
Resolves #764.
