Support parse/check/lower for char (#5901)

toolchain/check/testdata/builtins/char/basics.carbon and
toolchain/lower/testdata/builtins/char.carbon are probably the most
interesting tests here. The parse tests is required because this adds a
new node kind, and we need coverage of it; but the attached info is
minor. There's a fair amount of test churn here because I'm adding the
Core.Char and Core.CharLiteral types as new singletons.

My intent here is that `CharId` is always a unicode code point, even
when the type is a `Char` and thus must be a single UTF-8 code unit
(single byte). This mainly means the stored value of a `CharValue` can
be printed internally without knowing the type.
