----------------
This definitely deserves a comment.

I don't think the assertion is right; the condition is that the type is legal 
for a field in a struct that can be passed directly, and while that does 
exclude `__weak` (because the struct will have to be passed indirectly) and 
`__autoreleasing` (because that's not legal in a struct), it doesn't exclude 
`__unsafe_unretained`.

This function is implementing an operation that's broadly meaningful (it's a 
store-init of an owned value, in contrast to a store-init with an unowned value 
which is what `isInit` is implementing) but not extensively used in the C 
frontend.  On some level, I feel like we should probably teach 
`EmitStoreThroughLValue` to handle that properly, but that's a more significant 
refactor.

It does look like this change isn't enough to handle `__ptrauth`, which will 
assume that the source value is signed appropriately for the unqualified type 
when probably it should be signed appropriately for the qualifier (which, like 
`__weak`, cannot be address-discriminated because it would stop being passed 
directly).  Probably the default case should be to use `EmitStoreOfScalar`, and 
`EmitStoreThroughLValue` should only be used if the l-value is a bit-field (the 
only non-simple case that can actually happen from drilling down to a field).

The same logic applies on the load side in the abstract, except that it is only 
causing problems for `__ptrauth` (well, if we change the behavior above) 
because loads from the ARC qualifiers don't implicitly retain.  Regardless, 
analogously to this, `EmitRValueForField` should only be calling 
`EmitLoadOfLValue` for bit-fields and should otherwise call `EmitLoadOfScalar`. 
 Please add a comment on both sides making it clear that the logic is expected 
to be parallel.
