Dana Jansens 9fb428d713 Ensure specific in ImplWitness has resolved definition before accessing witness table (#8040)
When impl lookup results in an `ImplWitness`, either directly or later
through `LookupImplWitness` evaluating to an `ImplWitness` inside some
specific, it represents a dependency on the eval blocks of the
`ImplDecl` that the `ImplWitness` comes from. The `ImplWitness` contains
a `SpecificId` of the `ImplDecl`, and the constants in the witness table
must be viewed through that `SpecificId`. The constants may depend on
the declaration or the definition block of the `ImplDecl`'s specific, so
any use of the witness table from `ImplWitness` requires the specific
from the `ImplWitness` to be fully resolved: both the decl and
definition blocks.

The specific declaration block is always resolved immediately when
forming a specific id, so there's nothing to do there. And things are
simple when the `ImplWitness` returned from impl lookup is concrete. We
would simply resolve the specific definition directly in the evaluation
of `LookupImplWitness`.

But when the `ImplWitness` is symbolic, meaning there's a dependency on
generic parameters in its referenced specific, then we have a dependency
on resolving the specific definition in the `ImplWitness` for every
specific that gets applied to the `ImplWitness`, eventually resulting in
a concrete specific.

Previously we attempted to do this by representing a dependency edge
from the eval block containing the `ImplWitness` instruction to the
definition block of the specific inside the `ImplWitness`. We
represented this dependency edge with the `RequireSpecificDefinition`
instruction.

The challenge with the `RequireSpecificDefinition` instruction was
ensuring it always landed in the _same eval block_ as the one holding
the symbolic `ImplWitness`. Ultimately, we've found a way to do this
without the `RequireSpecificDefinition`. The witness table is accessed
through `ImplWitnessAccess`, so we resolve the specific definition
before each access to the witness table. If the definition is already
resolved, this just costs a lookup of the Specific from the value store.

We document the other things we tried, which don't work or were too
complex, below.

In PR #6236, we added the `RequireSpecificDefinition` instruction in the
eval of `LookupImplWitness`, but this is too late. If impl lookup
resolved to a symbolic `LookupImplWitness`, the `LookupImplWitness` is
added some eval block. Later, we form specifics and re-evaluate that
eval block, and the `LookupImplWitness` can evaluate to an
`ImplWitness`. Adding the `RequireSpecificDefinition` instruction at
this point inserts the instruction into whatever generic's eval block
happens to be on the top of the generic stack, not the eval block of the
generic we are building a specific for. And indeed we can't add
instructions to a generic's eval block later like this, as it would be
missing from specifics that were already resolved for the generic. This
incorrect insertion shows up as a crash in eval at the CHECK introduced
but commented out in [eval.cpp in
#7981](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/56d9bbc40add1e9263f2f9b2555c3a27292d1725/toolchain/check/eval.cpp#L3507-L3512).
This is covered by the
`require_specific_impl_definition_through_specific_instantiation.carbon`
test.

We tried moving the insertion of `RequireSpecificDefinition` to be
earlier - at the point where the `LookupImplWitness` is constructed, in
the `LookupImplWitness()` function, instead of inside evaluation. This
seemed like a straightforwardly correct answer, as the eval block that
contains the `LookupImplWitness` will then also contain the
`RequireSpecificDefinition`. However, this can cause us to lose the
`RequireSpecificDefinition` entirely. Because it's a separate
instruction, not an operand of `LookupImplWitness`, it does not get
treated as a dependency of the witness. When we do an impl lookup inside
an `alias`, we build a generic for the alias and then discard it. This
discards the eval block containing the `LookupImplWitness`. Then, in an
enclosing generic, we refer to the constructed `AliasDecl` instruction,
which pulls all its dependent operands into the enclosing eval block.
This pulls in the `LookupImplWitness` into the enclosing eval block, but
it does not preserve the `RequireSpecificDefinition`. This is covered by
the
`require_specific_impl_definition_from_lookup_impl_witness_in_class_definition.carbon`
test.

We tried having `ImplWitness` evaluation resolve the specific definition
of the specific `ImplDecl` it refers to. This seems like the simplest
approach by far as we should always be working with the correct eval
block and nothing can get lost. However it does not work because of the
recursive nature of `ImplWitness`. The `ImplWitness` instruction appears
in the declaration of an `ImplDecl`, and the `ImplWitness` holds a
`SpecificId` for that same `ImplDecl`. When building a specific
`ImplDecl`, we evaluate the `ImplWitness` in the `ImplDecl`'s
declaration block which then immediately resolves the specific
definition before the declaration is finished. This leads to missing
instructions in the specific definition. In short, this puts the
dependency edge to the `ImplDecl`'s specific inside the `ImplDecl`
itself, which is problematic.

We tried wrapping `ImplWitness` in another instruction,
`ImplWitnessUse`. Inside the `ImplDecl` declaration there is still
`ImplWitness`, but then in the definition there is `ImplWitnessUse` and
that is what is returned from the evaluation of `LookupImplWitness`. The
`ImplWitnessUse` is an `ImplWitness` plus it ensures the specific
referred to by the witness has its definition resolved. However this
breaks constant comparisons, as we get different witnesses inside an
impl versus outside.

The first iteration of this PR's solution had us insert the
`RequireSpecificDefinition` into the eval block when we sniffed a
`LookupImplWitness` instruction, however that missed cases where impl
lookup immediately resolved to a symbolic `ImplWitness`, which is why we
now sniff for the `ImplWitness` in the eval block. This is covered by
the
`require_specific_impl_definition_from_symbolic_impl_in_class_definition.carbon`
test.

We also originally made a mistake of not inserting
`RequireSpecificDefinition` when inside the impl definition that the
`ImplWitness` refers to. But we can form specifics ImplWitness values
through function signatures, and these must add the dependency edge on
that specific ImplDecl definition. This is covered by the
`require_specific_impl_definition_from_inside_impl_definition.carbon`
test.

Finally, we did have a working solution. It was to sniff instructions
added to the eval block of a generic, and when an `ImplWitness` is added
to the eval block (it is implied that it is symbolic), also add a
`RequireSpecificDefinition` to that eval block immediately. We also
resolved the definition of a specific referred to by `ImplWitness` when
`LookupImplWitness` evaluates to `ImplWitness` to cover the concrete
witness case. This complicated the construction of the eval block
immensely, however. It caused a situation where adding one inst to the
eval block actually adds two, which we needed to avoid when importing.
And it required inst-kind specific behaviour in the very general
construction of an eval block, completely outside of eval itself.

Christopher Di Bella 05a7ecbd34 Move SubobjectDestroy and SelfDestruct out of interface Destroy (#7942)
Determining that a type has trivial destruction requires checking
whether all of its subobjects have trivial destruction and whether its
type has a custom witness for `Destroy.Op`. This isn't possible when
`Destroy` is the custodian for `Destroy.Op` and `SubobjectDestroy.Op`,
so we need to make `SubobjectDestroy` its own interface.

`Destroy.SelfDestruct` becomes a standalone function because it depends
on `SubobjectDestroy` and `Destroy` being implemented, and is also
responsible for generating any custom witnesses for both interfaces.
Making `SelfDestruct` an interface was experimented with, but this
required a blanket impl that caused issues for facet types.

`Destroy` depends on `SubobjectDestroy` to be implemented. We'd ideally
use `require impls SubobjectDestroy`, but it isn't complete yet, and it
also causes problems when `Destroy` is implemented inside the class
definition. We work around this by temporarily renaming the `Destroy`
interface to `DestroyImpl`, and introducing a constraint called
`Destroy` so that user code doesn't need to write `Core.SubobjectDestroy
& Core.Destroy`.

Chandler Carruth 2c9739799b Render diagnostics through the terminal library (#7683)
Diagnostic rendering was part of the data model: `Loc::FormatLocation`
and
`Loc::FormatSnippet` wrote plain text to a stream, so no capability,
color, or
terminal width could reach them.

A diagnostic is now one message with labels, contexts, and location
information
attached, and `Diagnostics::Renderer` draws it into a
`Terminal::Buffer`. The
design is in `toolchain/docs/diagnostics_rendering.md` (#7668),
authoring in
`toolchain/docs/diagnostics.md`.

Before:

```
example.carbon:6:3: error: 1 argument passed to function expecting 0 arguments
  Run0(1);
  ^~~~~~~
example.carbon:3:1: note: calling function declared here
fn Run0() {}
^~~~~~~~~~~
```

After:

```
error: 1 argument passed to function expecting 0 arguments
       ╭─┤ example.carbon:6:3
       ┆
     3 │ fn Run0() {}
       · ─────┬─────
       ·      ╰──┤ calling function declared here
       ┆
->   6 │   Run0(1);
       ·   ───────
       ╰────────────
```

`--no-diagnostic-snippets` gives a compact form, `example.carbon:6:3-9`.
File
tests use it; the rendering tests under `toolchain/diagnostics/testdata`
ask for
snippets.

C++ interop diagnostics are data now rather than text Clang drew:
`SemIR::ClangSourceLocId` names a `clang::SourceRange`, and a Clang
location is
marked as the point it names.

`StreamConsumer` moves to a `:renderer` target that `:emitter` does not
depend
on, keeping `common/terminal` out of `consumer.h`. Capabilities come
from the
file behind the error stream, so tests get plain ASCII.

`renderer_fuzzer` draws diagnostics built from fuzzer bytes with every
capability combination, since a shape the renderer doesn't expect must
never be
why the compiler dies while reporting a problem.

TODOs mark the follow-ups: line weights and crossing lines, wrapping
that keeps
a quoted type whole, and ordering diagnostics that share a byte offset.

Also: `IncorrectExtension`'s hint moves into its message, since its note
had no
location of its own, and `strip_noise` in `check_diagnostics.py` blanks
multi-line `#define`s instead of deleting them.

Dana Jansens 24766e213e Defer evaluation of witnesses substituted while identifying a facet type (#7930)
When identifying a facet type, defer evaluation of LookupImplWitnesses
by redirecting them to evaluate into IdentifiedWitness. Then the caller
of identify will need to substitute the IdentifiedWitnesses, either with
witnesses of their own, or with LookupImplWitness to cause a lookup
operation.

This allows:
- An `impl as` on a named constraint can subst the witnesses in
designators from the named constraint with a witness to the impl itself.
This prevents them from looking for and finding some other overlapping
impl. (This PR)
- Impl lookup to collect rewrite/equality requirements from all named
constraints and then use the impls it has already found to evaluate any
designators in those requirements instead of performing impl lookup
again (creating a cycle). (Done in
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7944)
- Similarly, an `impl as` can collect impls and equality requirements
from all named constraints and verify them correctly by replacing
witnesses that should refer to the impl with the correct witness instead
of performing a lookup and finding an overlapping impl. (Done in
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7937)
- ImplWitnessAccess to be able to find rewrites from a named constraint,
not just from the initial DeclaredFacetType. (TBD)

To do this we need to introduce the concept of "identified" specifics.
In order to identify a facet type, we must construct a specific for each
require decl in a named constraint. These specifics will have
IdentifiedWitnesses inside them, but their args would otherwise match a
specific for the require decl constructed in another context. To avoid
polluting the canonical specific namespace, we introduce a second
namespace of specifics that are "identified" since they are created by
identifying.

As we have introduced a new global state that modifies eval behaviour,
we must disable that state when resolving a specific (as per
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7923). But inside an
"identified" specific, we preserve the behaviour so that the witnesses
modified by identify (through SubstPeriodSelf or through evaluating a
require specific) have their evaluation deferred.

This change partially implements [PR #7362], which revises how objects
are destroyed. It is a partial implementation for two reasons:

1. This change moves `Destroy.Op`'s current behaviour into
`Destroy.SubobjectDestroy`, but it doesn't add support for objects with
non-trivial destruction.
2. `Destroy.SubobjectDestroy` is a workaround for `require impls
SubobjectDestroy`. We aren't able to use the latter until the dependents
add their requirements' implementations to their own witness tables.

Dana Jansens fcae9610bd Make SemIR::TypeType be an empty FacetType instruction (#7813)
The type `type` is now a `FacetType` inst with no constraints. This
brings the model implemented in the toolchain into better alignment with
the language design. The `SemIR::TypeType` struct remains as a scope for
holding the `TypeInstId`, `ConstantId`, and `TypeId` constants, but is
not an `InstKind` anymore.

The `TypeType` inst looks a lot like singletons, but there are many
`FacetType` insts so it doesn't quite fit that model. So we put it
alongside singletons with a fixed inst id but refer to it as a more
general "builtin" inst that is not a singleton.
`Namespace::PackageInstId` is similar, and we group it with `TypeType`
conceptually as another builtin instruction with a fixed id.

No conversion is needed anymore to use a `type` as a facet, since types
also have a `FacetType` type. This simplifies and removes a number of
helpers and branches throughout the code.

The `TypeType` inst is now part of the constant store, so we end up
printing it in the constants block in every test. But it's also named
`type` rather than `%type` to preserve the majority of existing
formatting behaviour, though this does look different from other
constants.

refactoring. Though nearly everything non-trivial the tool wrote has

Dana Jansens 4416f3525b Canonicalize generated functions for Core witnesses (#7729)
Use a single `SemIR::Function` per `Core` interface method, whether it's
generated locally or imported. This prevents generating duplicate
functions, which lead to different types when the witness appears in a
`FacetValue` as part of a specific for a class.

We use a `CanonicalValueStore` of `GeneratedFunction` objects that allow
finding an existing FunctionId for a `Generated` special function before
(re-)generating it. Mangling for `Generated` functions is also moved to
use the values from the `GeneratedFunction`'s canonicalization key, so
that we have a consistent source of truth for the unique ID of a
`Generated` function across all files.

New tests are in

Christopher Di BellaandRichard Smith 4ea5ef45dd Skip ImplWitnessTable::elements_id when generating fingerprints (#7629)
Implementing interface modifiers causes an infinite loop when generating
fingerprints because the witness value generates a fingerprint that's
dependent on something dependent on the witness value. We've debugged
this to the witness table's `elements_id` field.

This hack is a workaround for creating a new block type whose value is
not codependent with its identity.

Dana Jansens a5ba0a0f45 Use GetConstantValueInSpecific to get the impl's specific interface after deduction (#7584)
During impl lookup, for each (generic) impl candidate, we form a
specific for that impl by deducing its generic arguments. Then we
compare the query interface against the impl's specific interface. That
comparison needs the deduced arguments applied to the impl's specific
interface. Previously we were doing this by getting the impl's
constraint facet type with the impl's specific applied (via
`GetConstantValueInSpecific()`) and then identifying that facet type
with the impl's deduced self.

Identify is a fairly expensive operation. It runs subst, trying to
replace `.Self` references. It walks named constraints. It collects
require declarations. We're looking at making it do _more_ in the future
too, including rewrite constraint resolution and collecting rewrite and
same-type constraints. For this reason we have a cache to make it cheap
on the second run, but it's still a very heavyweight operation to
involve in impl lookup, when all we want is to apply the impl's specific
to its target interface.

We almost have all the information we need to avoid the identification
step. We have the impl's specific after deduction. And we have the
SpecificInterface that the impl is targeting in the `Impl` struct. When
we form the specific for the impl itself, we resolve the declaration
block and form new constant values for all instructions in there, but
that does not cover the SpecificInterface that we're storing in the
`Impl` struct. So we add a new instruction to the impl's eval block,
which will be symbolic when the impl is generic and the target interface
depends on a generic parameter. And we store the `InstId` in the `Impl`
struct. This allows us to gets its constant value later with the impl's
specific applied. From that constant value we can then pull out the
SpecificInterface that the impl is targeting.

Chandler Carruth 8be274cf60 Replace :! binding syntax with phase keywords and contextual defaults (#7479)
Implement the toolchain side of proposal #7254, removing the `:!`
binding
syntax for generic and template parameters in favor of the keywords
`generic`,
`template`, and `runtime` plus contextual defaults for phase.

For valid programs this is semantics-preserving: each binding resolves
to the
same phase, and produces the same SemIR, as it did under `:!`/`:`. The
parser
derives a binding's phase from its syntactic context plus any explicit
phase
keyword; new diagnostics and error recovery for misused keywords are
described
below.

Implementation details for each component:

- Lexer: remove the `:!` (`ColonExclaim`) token, move its virtual
parse-node
  budget onto `:`, and add the `generic` and `runtime` keywords.
- Parser: thread a `BindingContext` (`ExplicitParam`, `DeducedParam`, or
`CompileTimeEntityParam`) from declaration introducers down through
parameter
lists to each binding pattern, using a one-token lookahead to
distinguish a
name-qualifier parameter list from a declaration's own final list.
Parameters
of a compile-time entity (`class`, `interface`, `constraint`, `choice`,
`alias`, `export`, `namespace`) and deduced `[]` parameters default to
checked
generic; explicit function parameters and local bindings default to
runtime.
`HandleBindingPattern` resolves the phase from that context plus the
keyword: a
`generic` keyword needs no node of its own (the phase is carried by the
  binding's node kind), while a `runtime` keyword is preserved as a
`RuntimeBindingName` node so `check` can name it in a diagnostic. A
phase
keyword that is merely redundant with the contextual default is
diagnosed
  here, without invalidating the parse tree.
- Check: a phase keyword that is invalid for its context (for example
`runtime`
on a checked-generic parameter) is diagnosed here, and recovers by
building an
error binding that still introduces the name so that later uses of it do
not
  produce cascading errors.

The removed `:!` syntax is now rejected as an ordinary parse error.

The `form`/`:?`/`->?` ("extended types") portion of proposal #7254 is
left for a
separate change.

Dana Jansens 4261bb2dd2 Track and don't replace active .Self (#7443)
In #7436 we stopped substituting `.Self` when collecting witnesses out
of a facet type. While this was correct, it did not capture all the
cases that need to avoid substituting `.Self`. And it poisoned the
`IdentifiedFacetType` cache by not replacing `.Self` but storing the
result in the cache. This led to incoherent behaviour, where the result
of an impl lookup would change depending on which ones had been done
previously.

Now we use a flag to track for each `.Self` if we're currently
type-checking inside the scope where it was introduced in a facet type.
While inside that scope, identify should not replace the `.Self`. Any
use of it should remain as-is since we don't yet know what value will
replace it. We call this state "frozen" since it should not be modified
by identify. This requires a substitution step when we leave the scope
that introduced the `.Self`, to remove the flag. The flag is set in the
`EntityName` of the `SymbolicBinding`, and is part of the canonical
value, since `.Self` can become part of types, which are constants, and
the flag needs to follow it for correct behaviour.

We also have to ensure the flag is the same when doing comparison with
constants from inside a facet type and constants from outside. For
instance in `(Z where .Z1 = ()) where .Z2 = .Z1`, when we arrive at the
second `.Z1` its `.Self` will be frozen, while the `.Z1 = ()` contains a
non-frozen `.Self`. So we add the frozen flag to the first when storing
it in `where_stack` in order to compare the constant values of the two
`.Z1`.

The `WhereExpr` requirement inst kinds now have an `InstConstantKind` of
`AlwaysUnique` instead of `Never`. This allows us to add them to the
usual InstBlocks, and in an `eval fn` body they have a constant value,
so eval does not fail when trying to call that function. We have to be
careful to not consider `AlwaysUnique` as being actually concrete
though, since their constant value erases `.Self`-dependence. This
allows us to stop special casing them when thawing the requirements
block in a `WhereExpr`, and we can just thaw each `InstId` in the block
in a straightforward manner.

We add the new flag to the instruction's fingerprint and name in
formatted semir.

Geoff RomerandRichard Smith e023f75254 Implement thunking in terms of constant evaluation (#7332)
The bulk of this change is changing most pattern insts to be `Always`
rather than `AlwaysUnique` constants, so that they can be wrapped in
`SpecificConstant`s to perform substitution. That then lets thunking
rely much more on `SpecificConstant` wrappers instead of deep-copying
the inst tree with modified types.

This approach to thunking should scale better, particularly as things
like form generics make function signatures more complex, because we can
leverage the existing support for constant evaluation and substitution.
Unfortunately, applying this approach to binding patterns will require
more work; see the TODO near the top of `thunk.cpp` for details.

Fixing that caused a failure in the fingerprinting logic as we started

looking for import scopes, use a simpler mechanism to map packages to
their package names, and clean up.

Unfortunately the latter change churns all the fingerprints again :(

Also, when we reach a package-level `NameScopeId`, consistently
fingerprint it as a (package name, library name) pair. Previously the
fingerprinting depended on whether it was imported or not, as an
imported `NameScopeId` had a parent scope (the current package). We need
to include the library name here so that private entities with the same

Dana Jansens f8dd4d85bf Do not treat impls in different scopes as redeclarations (#7161)
An impl in a different scope, with the same parameters, will overlap and
get diagnosed for that later by the [prioritization
rule](https://docs.carbon-lang.dev/docs/design/generics/details.html#prioritization-rule),
if they are not in a match_first block. But they are not considered as
redeclarations.

See [proposal
p5366](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/62b94f79322039acc3fc8e175896a64a32df470e/proposals/p5366.md)
for the rule.

Dana Jansens 88931a4196 Give the .Self instruction a location (#7147)
This lets us stop eliding it in textual semir tests with dump ranges.
Previously it would always get elided, even though it was part of the
range being dumped, and was referred to by other instructions in the
dump range.

Since each `.Self` is unique (can change its type if not its value) in a
facet type, having each one distinct by location also aids
understanding.

Geoff Romer 4c9049346d Replace form insts with actions (#7100)
See
[here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rWcueFwIfZox6GKVGxiUG4cBzjrZ6djXiIDGyJDtrE4/edit?tab=t.0)
for the design doc.

This also removes the default value of the `result_type_inst_id`
parameter of `HandleAction`, moves it before the action in the parameter
list, and documents it. This solves two problems:
- The default made it easy to forget, leading to unnecessary
`TypeOfInst` instructions.
- When it was present, putting it after the fairly "bulky" action
argument tended to make the callsite harder to read.

Jon Ross-Perkinsandjonmeow 9266ced4e3 Improve CanDestroyType to handle remaining cases (#6943)
This is only fixing the decision about *whether* to produce a witness.
Implementation of the witness is still a TODO, though where a body is
generated, it should also precisely reflect where one _needs_ to be
generated.

Note the tests:

- toolchain/lower/testdata/function/generic/import_core_witness.carbon
- toolchain/lower/testdata/function/generic/import_unused_def.carbon

These tests can probably be produced _without_ Core.Destroy, but I found
the essence of them while trying to build //examples with Core.Destroy
and a simpler minimization wasn't striking me.

21291b4cc3 Remove InitForm::index (#6817)
This ensures that equal forms always have equal representations (because
the index depends on how the form is used, not on the value of the form
itself).

As a byproduct, also remove `NextCallParamIndex`.

Jon Ross-Perkins b14015602b Make Destroy.Op functions able to have a body (#6729)
This is iterating on how `Destroy.Op` generates, to start adding body
capabilities. This changes the way the signature is created, and adds a
`CoreWitness` function kind so that mangling can prevent name
collisions. The result is that what _was_ `DestroyOp` is now
`Core.Destroy.Op` or, as can be seen in
toolchain/lower/testdata/interop/cpp/nullptr.carbon,
`_COp.<hash>:core.Destroy.Core` where `:core` is indicating that it's a
core witness (taking a note from `:thunk`).

Richard Smith f9ab963bd6 Add a type_literal instruction to represent syntactic type literals. (#6781)
This allows us to capture the location at which a type literal was used,
even in the cases where we don't otherwise need to create a new
instruction to represent the type such as for `char` or `str`.

The logic used to build the underlying type is now marked as desugaring.
For cases such as `iN`, this causes the call to `Core.Int` to no longer
be added as a dedicated IR instruction, and instead its constant value
is used directly as the value of the `type_literal`. This results in
this being on balance a reduction in the size of the IR.

This also fixes a crash in C++ interop when using a `char` literal as a
template argument. The crash was caused by the template argument not
having an associated location when mapping to a C++ location. See
changes to check/testdata/interop/cpp/template/type_param.carbon for an
example that used to crash before this change.

Update alias handling to allow an alias to point at any type literal,
reinstating support for aliases for type literals such as `bool` and
`i32` that had previously worked but stopped working when we
transitioned those types to being defined in the prelude. See changes to
toolchain/check/testdata/alias/builtins.carbon.

All the test changes other than the two mentioned above are mechanical
autoupdate changes switching to the new instruction.

Dana Jansens fbc8d59d32 Introduce Diagnostics::ContextScope and remove diagnoser callbacks in type completion (#6761)
Introduces `Context` and `SoftContext` messages, which can be introduced
through a `ContextBuilder`:
- The `Context` messages come before the diagnostic in the output.
- The first `Context` message steals the diagnostic level from the main
diagnostic, and turns the main diagnostic into a Note attached to the
context.
- A `SoftContext` message works similarly, but if it's preceeded by a
`Context` or `SoftContext` message, then it is dropped. This can be used
as a default/backup scope when nothing more interesting is provided up
the stack, such as in `TryEvalBlockForSpecific`.

The `ContextBuilder` is provided to a callback through
`Diagnostics::ContextScope`, an RAII type `AnnotationScope` but for
context messages.

This allows a high level operation to provide a context message like
"failed to identify facet type {0}" which will then be used as the error
if a diagnostic is produced during identification, with the latter
diagnostic attached as a note to explain why the contextual operation
failed.

In particular, this allows monomorphization errors (such as an array
bound being negative) to be attached to a higher lever operation instead
of being top-level diagnostics themselves, with the monomorphization
site being a note. This inverts the source code locations that appear in
the diagnostic, so that the top-level diagnostic points to the "user
code" which causes the monomorphization.

This is presented as an alternative strategy to #6753, which plumbed
diagnoser callbacks around to achieve the same goals.

We replace the diagnoser callbacks in type completion and operators with
ContextScope callbacks instead, which now provide better diagnostics for
monomorphization errors. Other callers to MakeSpecific do not yet have
ContextScopes introduced in order to turn monomorphization errors into
more interesting diagnostics.

Dana Jansens 917a6ea971 Add an interface-with-self generic to each interface and same for constraints (#6667)
Currently each interface has a `Self` facet internally that becomes a
binding to every entity inside the interface: associated constants,
functions, and require decls. Each of these has to be independently
generic as a result. This makes is challenging in extended name lookup
to move into an extended scope of an interface, as we have a specific
for the interface, but the names within require a different specific
that includes a `Self` facet value.

We generalize this relationship by adding a second generic to Interface,
called `generic_with_self`. When we want to work with entities inside
the interface, we move from the interface-without-specific to the
interface-with-self specific by adding a Self to the specific. This is
done independently of any particular entity inside the Interface, as
those entities are now all members of the interface-with-self generic.

Associated constants no longer need a generic of their own, as they do
not have separate generic bindings. Functions retain a generic, but if
the function has no generic arguments, it will have no bindings of its
own now.

Require decls retain a generic so that their specific can be
instantiated separately from the interface. Requiring the interface to
be complete does not require the types in a require decl to be complete
unless it is modified by `extend`. So we allow them to be completed
later by keeping them in a separate generic.

Named constraints look like interfaces and gain the additional inner
generic-with-self, with the same relationship to require decls.

This removes the need for name lookup to perform Substitution of a Self
facet into the extended scope instruction. Instead, the
`SpecificConstant` instruction inserted by a `require` decl is part of
the interface-with-self generic. When looking through a FacetType for
extended scopes, for each interface, we push the scope with the specific
for the interface-with-self. Then the constant value of the
`SpecificConstant` is correctly modified by the provided self
automatically through applying that specific.

remain, while the redundant `IncompleteTypeInFunctionParam` is removed.

Note I'm deliberately trying to validate the return type after other
parameters, because I think that's the better user experience. This does
also incrementally change IR.

Geoff Romer 4329a83e4c Form-aware textual format for return parameters and arguments (#6588)
The key changes are:
- Function output parameters are now prefixed with `out`, and more
consistently formatted as named parameters.
- Function and inst output arguments are now written as part of the inst
form, rather than as one of the inst arguments.

As a drive-by fix, this also changes `Temporary::storage_id` from
`DestInstId` to `InstId`, because it doesn't represent an output
parameter of the `Temporary` inst itself.

See the review of
[#6532](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6532) and
[this Discord

parser).
- Introducing the `FormType` singleton inst to represent their type
(i.e. `Core.Form`).
- Emitting an inst representing a function's declared return form as
part of handling the function signature.

The return form inst is currently ignored. Subsequent PRs will expose it
in `SemIR::Function` and use it to determine the form of call
expressions.

Jon Ross-Perkins c5eba90317 Change Destroy to use a CustomWitness instead of a blanket impl (#6512)
Pursuant to recent decisions on #6124, switch `Destroy` to use a
`CustomWitness` for its implementation. Right now this is manufacturing
no-op implementation functions on each lookup, which obviously isn't
ideal but is intended as a first pass. I'm mostly trying to find the
right balance between updating the approach to reflect new decisions,
while still breaking apart work in a way.

The `CoreInterface` logic is intended to build on `CoreIdentifier`
support. We have a number of additional interfaces that require
specialized logic, and that'll extend pretty far with C++ interop, so it
seemed easiest to have a generic function for it. That's what's
replacing the logic inside C++ interop that was doing string comparisons
(which could have already been moved to `CoreIdentifier`, I just missed
it in my first pass).

This adds `CustomWitness` support because the `Destroy` witnesses can be
imported cross-file. `CustomWitness` was previously only used for C++
types, which don't yet support import, which is why that wasn't
previously an issue. The addition of `query_specific_interface_id` is
similarly needed in order to get correct sorting of witness blocks when
imported.

This PR also removes builtin constraint logic (note this is in a
separate commit to help review; it's not a separate PR because it's
difficult to split apart without tests breaking). This had been made
generic with the expectation that destroy, copy, move, and conversions
would all need related support. Under the new decision, we are not going
to do blanket impls and will instead just manufacture a `CustomWitness`
for everything.

A lot of SemIR fingerprints change, but that's probably because the
addition of `Destroy` on core classes is yielding structural changes.
