[swift-evolution] [Pitch] Renaming sizeof, sizeofValue, strideof, strideofValue

[Jacob Bandes-Storch]

If it's worth continuing the discussion in this thread, I rather like the
MemoryLayout<T>.size idea. For discoverability, we might want to have
@availability(*, unavailable, message: "use MemoryLayout<T>.size, etc.")
public init(){}.
