Implement reasonable conversion ranking for Objective-C pointer
conversions (<rdar://problem/8592139>) for overload resolution. The conversion ranking mirrors C++'s conversion ranking fairly closely, except that we use a same pseudo-subtyping relationship employed by Objective-C pointer assignment rather than simple checking derived-to-base conversions. This change covers: - Conversions to pointers to a specific object type are better than conversions to 'id', 'Class', qualified 'id', or qualified 'Class' (note: GCC doesn't perform this ranking, but it matches C++'s rules for ranking conversions to void*). - Conversions to qualified 'id' or qualified 'Class' are better than conversions to 'id' or 'Class', respectively. - When two conversion sequences convert to the same type, rank the conversions based on the relationship between the types we're converting from. - When two conversion sequences convert from the same non-id, non-Class type, rank the conversions based on the relationship of the types we're converting to. (note: GCC allows this ranking even when converting from 'id', which is extremeley dangerous). llvm-svn: 124591
