[swift-evolution] Remove Failable Initializers

[Jens Persson]

I think we should not take over this thread with much more of this
discussion but eg this:
let i: Int = Int.init(123)
would not compile if that initializer had a return type of Void rather than
Int. The only initializer I can think of that returns Void is Void() /
Void.init().
