[Objective-C] Introduce objc_runtime_visible attribute.

The objc_runtime_visible attribute deals with an odd corner case where
a particular Objective-C class is known to the Objective-C runtime
(and, therefore, accessible by name) but its symbol has been hidden
for some reason. For such classes, teach CodeGen to use
objc_lookUpClass to retrieve the Class object, rather than referencing
the class symbol directly.

Classes annotated with objc_runtime_visible have two major limitations
that fall out from places where Objective-C metadata needs to refer to
the class (or metaclass) symbol directly:

* One cannot implement a subclass of an objc_runtime_visible class.
* One cannot implement a category on an objc_runtime_visible class.
