Provide more Fix-It guidance for concurrency-unsafe global variables (SE-0412)
When diagnosing a concurrency-unsafe global or static variable, provide
Fix-Its with specific guidance and advice. This is intended to aid the
workflow for folks enabling strict concurrency checking or Swift 6.
There are up to three Fix-Its attached to a diagnostic about
concurrency-unsafe global/static variables:
* convert 'global' to a 'let' constant to make the shared state
immutable, which replaces `var` with `let`
* restrict 'global' to the main actor if it will only be accessed from the
main thread, which adds `@MainActor`
* unsafely mark %0 as concurrency-safe if all accesses are protected
by an external synchronization mechanism, which adds `nonisolated(unsafe)`
I fretted over two things before deciding on this path:
1. For the second note, the reality is that any global actor will
suffice, but `@MainActor` is orders of magnitude more common than any
other global actor, so "common case convenience" wins over "precise
but less useful.
2. For the third note, `nonisolated(unsafe)` should only be used
sparingly, and surfacing it via Fix-It could cause overuse. However,
developers need to know about it, and this is how we do that. It comes
last in the list of notes (after the better options) and says "unsafe"
in not one but two places.
