[swift-evolution] Make non-void functions @warn_unused_result by default

[Davide De Franceschi]

I think you might have overseen one _big_ point in all of this though.

If `@warn_unused_result` becomes a default for functions returning non-Void, then there's a _really_ easy way to explicitly discard the result:

`_ = myNonVoidFunc()`
