Swift 6 concurrency error on _StorageClass.defaultInstance

[rebello95]

When building with Xcode 16.0 and the Swift 6 toolchain, the following error occurs with a generated _StorageClass type:

Static property 'defaultInstance' is not concurrency-safe because non-'Sendable' type

I read through #1560 which discussed this a bit, but based on this comment I opted to open a new issue.

This can reproduced on this Connect-Swift branch, but I think this is an issue with any generated _StorageClass when building with Swift 6.

@FranzBusch @gjcairo fyi - since I think you all mentioned working on full Swift 6 language mode. I guess starting with generated code would unblock folks first.

While #1561 might be sorta large to pull off in a non breaking way, I do wonder if that resolves a lot of this since I think the name map could get a lot simpler (no need for interning, etc.)

I agree tackling the generated code is the most important thing. I do think we need to do all of this in a non-breaking way for now. Right now we are working through our other repos to make sure they compile without errors in Swift 6.

Do you have any idea of how soon this repo can be made compatible with Swift 6? We have a library that depends on this repo, and we're nearing a v1.0 release for it. We were hoping the v1.0 release could use Swift 6, but this issue is a blocker for that.
