[swift-corelibs-dev] Migrate corelibs-foundation to the newest APIs

[Brian Gesiak]

I noticed the folks at IBM were also doing platform checks when using the
corelibs-xctest APIs. I created https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1215 to
track the issue.

corelibs-xctest is small enough that we may want to consider providing
*both* Swift 2.2 and Swift 3 APIs, perhaps behind a `#if swift(<3.0)` check.

corelibs-foundation provides a much greater API surface, so it may not be
feasible. But what does everyone think about this approach for
corelibs-xctest?
