This PR backports the following changes onto
release/5.8
:Explanation: #59072 introduced an implementation change to the Objective-C compatibility header, but it also created a regression for projects that link against headers generated by different Swift versions, where their projects would encounter "macro redefined" errors.
Scope: Regression affecting projects with prebuilt dependencies built by older versions of Swift
Issue: rdar://106086816
Risk: Low. Projects that build all their code with the same compiler are unaffected. The change is isolated to the Objective-C compatibility header generation, and does not affect normal compilation.
Testing: Locally building a project that included a generated header from Swift 5.7 against a header generated with Swift 5.8. A future PR will implement an automated test to ensure that these "macro redefinition" errors are all handled.
