[stdlib] Remove magnitude-based overload of abs(_:).

The standard library has two versions of the `abs(_:)` function:

```
func abs<T : SignedNumeric>(_ x: T) -> T where T.Magnitude == T
func abs<T : SignedNumeric & Comparable>(_ x: T) -> T
```

The first is more specialized than the second because `T.Magnitude` is
known to conform to `Comparable`. Indeed, it’s a more specialized
implementation that returns `magnitude`.

However, this overload behaves oddly: in the expression `abs(-8)`, the type
checker will pick the first overload because it is more specialized. That’s
a general guiding principle for overloading: pick the most specialized
overload that works.

However, to select that overload, it needs to pick a type for the literal
“8” for which that overload works, and it chooses `Double`. The “obvious”
answer, `Int`, doesn’t work because `Int.Magnitude == UInt`.

There is a conflict between the two rules, here: we prefer more-specialized
overloads (but we’ll fall back to less-specialized if those don’t work) and we prefer to use `Int` for integer literals (but we’ll fall back to `Double` if it doesn’t work). We have a few options from a type-checker
perspective:

1. Consider the more-specialized-function rule to be more important
2. Consider the integer-literals-prefer-`Int` rule to be more important
3. Call the result ambiguous and make the user annotate it

The type checker currently does #1, although at some point in the past it
did #2. Moving forward, #1 is a better choice because it prunes the number
of overloads that need to be considered: if the more-specialized overload
succeeds its type-check, the others need not be considered. It’s also
easier to reason about than the literal-scoring approach, because there can
be a direct definition for “more specialized than” that can be reasoned
about.

I think we should dodge the issue by removing the more-specialized version
of `abs(_:)`. Its use of `magnitude` seems unlikely to provide a
significant performance benefit, and the presence of overloading either
forces us to consider both overloads always (which is bad for type checker
performance) or accept the regression that `abs(-8)` is `Double`. Better
to eliminate the overloading and, if needed in the future, find a better
way to introduce the more-specialized implementation without it being a
separate signature.
