Issue Description:

$ touch file1.swift file2.swift
$ swiftc file1.swift file2.swift
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_main", referenced from:
     implicit entry/start for main executable
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
<unknown>:0: error: link command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

The problem here is neither file is called main.swift, so the top-level-code `main` function doesn't get emitted. The compiler should check the file names and emit an error rather than going all the way through compilation to hit the link error.
