Use the Carbon-computed alignment for allocas, loads, stores, and
memcpys. Previously we used whatever LLVM felt like giving us, which
would result in ABI mismatches and runtime crashes due to misalignment
when creating objects of imported C++ class types, as well as resulting
in some surprising choices like `(i32, i32)` and `()` having 8-byte
alignment instead of 4 and 1, respectively.
The primary change in this PR is to split the `Initializing` expression
category into separate `ReprInitializing` and `InPlaceInitializing`
categories, depending on whether initialization uses the types
initializing representation, or is guaranteed to be in place. It also
rationalizes and documents the SemIR-level semantics of those categories
(including where #5545's "ephemeral entire reference" category will
fit), and introduces two new inst kinds to close gaps exposed in the
process.
Some additional secondary changes:
- Consistently format the storage arguments of initializers with `to`,
regardless of whether initialization is in-place, and document the `to`
notation.
- Rename some inst kinds and functions, and restructure some of the
code, for clarity and consistency with the new documentation.
- Resolve a TODO to handle more category conversions in
`CategoryConverter`, in order to make it easier to reason about category
conversions.

This proposal removes the definition of the term "value binding" as a
primitive
category conversion from reference to value, replacing it with the term
"value
acquisition". The other meaning of "value binding", a binding declared
by a
value binding pattern, is unchanged.
Add `Dependent` value and initializing representations for types whose
representations are unknown because they are dependent. When generating
SemIR in such cases, use a worst-case initializing representation that
both provides a destination address and also propagates a potential
result value.
Use this to fix incorrect lowering and lowering crashes for specific
functions involving generic types that don't use a copy value
representation.
In lowering, be careful to distinguish between whether the initializing
representation for the generic return type uses a return slot (which
affects whether the SemIR declaration and call have one) and whether the
initializing representation for the specific return type uses a return
slot (which affects whether the LLVM IR declaration and call have one).
Based on #5948. A couple of tricky parts:
* When generating the C++ side of the thunk, we are given a pointer to
the location to emplace the return value. The only mechanism C++
provides to perform this emplacement is using placement `operator new`,
which requires a library function in the `<new>` header. We handle this
by declaring that library function ourselves, and rely on Clang not
actually needing a definition for it (which the standard library owns).
* On the Carbon side of the thunk, we want to form an initializing
expression as the result of the call. We don't have a way of expressing
in SemIR that an initializing expression performs its initialization by
storing through a pointer, so this PR adds a new initializing
instruction, `InPlaceInit`, to model an initialization that's performed
opaquely in-place.
Previously we created allocas for temporaries at whatever point in the
output LLVM function we'd reached. This would result in these being
dynamic allocas (performing a dynamic stack allocation), which is
inefficent and can lead to a stack overflow if it happens in a loop.
Switch to putting the allocas in the entry block instead, and instead
generate a lifetime start marker when we reach the point where the
temporary is introduced. We already did this for local variables; this
is just factoring out and reusing that code.
Update remaining parts of lowering, in particular the lowering of
aggregates, to handle lowering within a specific from a different file
than its generic. Look up information about a type in the current
specific and in its file rather than performing lookups for the type in
the generic and its file.
Remove or fix all remaining uses of raw `TypeId` in
lower/function_context and lower/handle*, so that the type from the
specific is consistently always used when lowering a specific function.

Fixes#5186
With @zygoloid's kind assistance, this generalizes the existing
non-const lowering of ClassInit, that had previously only handled
InitializeFrom, to find other cases - such as a nested ClassInit used to
initialize a class member.
This refactors the `FindReturnSlotArgForInitializer` from
`check/convert.cpp` into `sem_ir/file.{h,cpp}` for use from lowering
(since lower doesn't depend on check, which I assume is an intentional
layering constraint - so figured it made sense to move it to sem_ir, and
found one or two similar-ish utility functions in `sem_ir/file.{h,cpp}`,
so figured that was a good spot)
This switches `DCHECK` and `FATAL` as well.
The goal is to reduce the code size impact of these assertions so that
we can keep more of them enabled. Currently, the largest cost I see from
`CHECK` is not the actual check or the cold code itself, but actually
the failure to inline trivial functions due to the presence of the cold
code. This means that our goal isn't to reduce apparent code size in the
final binary but the LLVM IR cost assessed for these routines in the
inliner, which closely correlates with code size but is a bit different.
As discussed in #4283, experimentation shows that a single function call
with a minimal number of arguments is the lowest cost model for these.
This is easily achieved with a format-string API that internally uses
`llvm::formatv`. This PR is essentially the `CHECK` version of #4283.
However, the check macros are substantially harder to make work with
both format strings and streaming because they also take a condition.
Also, unexpectedly, I was very successful at devising a regular
expression based automated rewrite from the streaming to the format
string form with only low 10s of manual fixes. This includes compacting
strings broken up across lines, etc. Given how well that went, I've
prepared this PR which just directly switches to the format string API
and migrate everything to use it.
One nice side-effect is that the format string approach ends up greatly
simplifying the implementation here as well.
This is ... *shockingly* effective. Parsing speeds up by more than 3%
with just this change. And checking speeds up by **8%** with this change
alone:

Rename `ReturnInfo` to `ReturnTypeInfo`. Move it and `InitRepr` into
`type_info.h` alongside `ValueRepr`. Replace `ReturnSlot` with
`InitRepr`, and extend `InitRepr` to be able to represent the
incomplete-type case instead of CHECK-failing. Remove `has_return_slot`
from `InitRepr` and instead only provide that as part of
`ReturnTypeInfo`.
Renames Lower::Handle* to Lower::LowerFunctionInst. This allows writing
a templated handler for instructions, moving code out of the macro
expansion and removing some of the redundancy in things like
`HandleAddrOf(..., SemIR::AddrOf inst)`
