Issue Description:

I was talking to a new Swift programmer who came from the ruby/python world. He had this output:

$ swift .build/debug/helloWorld
.build/debug/helloWorld:1:1: error: invalid UTF-8 found in source file
�����x� H__PAGEZERO8__TEXT@@__text__TEXT Ͷ �__stubs__TEXT��
.build/debug/helloWorld:1:2: error: invalid UTF-8 found in source file
�����x� H__PAGEZERO8__TEXT@@__text__TEXT Ͷ �__stubs__TEXT��
.build/debug/helloWorld:1:3: error: invalid UTF-8 found in source file
�����x� H__PAGEZERO8__TEXT@@__text__TEXT Ͷ �__stubs__TEXT��
.build/debug/helloWorld:1:4: error: input files must be encoded as UTF-8 instead of UTF-16
�����x� H__PAGEZERO8__TEXT@@__text__TEXT Ͷ �__stubs__TEXT��

Because he had started with Swift scripts, where you put swift in front of the file.swift name.

The error message above is perfectly valid, but unhelpful in this case. I would guess enough new programmers would make this mistake that it's worth discussing a special-case error message if the file to be run is already a Swift executable.

調査方針
Investigate the Swift compiler's error handling for source files, specifically the code that produces the 'invalid UTF 8' and 'input files must be encoded as UTF 8' errors. Determine if the compiler can detect that the input file is an executable binary and provide a more helpful message. Look for related files in the Swift compiler repository, such as the parser or driver code.
