Geoff RomerandNicholas Bishop 12e1afeb15 Initial support for C++ function pointers (#7788)
This change introduces a new inst kind `CppFunctionPointerType`, which
represents an imported C++ function pointer that can be invoked from
Carbon (support for forming such a pointer from a Carbon function is in
a follow-up PR). This is implemented by treating the operation of
invoking a function pointer in C++ as if it were a call to an `__invoke`
method on the function pointer type, and extending the existing
function-import logic to support importing this fictitious method.

Lucile Rose Nihlen 1579d4ec7e Fix canonicalization and simplify default value patterns. (#7837)
Removes support for unspecified default values. Fixes canonicalization
of the `DefaultValuePattern` instruction by making them immutable after
they are issued, and by removing the `DefaultValueId` operand which
wasn't being canonicalized.

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.

Assisted-by: Opus 5 was used to generate a first draft and validate the
refactoring. Though nearly everything non-trivial the tool wrote has
been modified or rewritten.

Lucile Rose Nihlen ca9e985fa8 Reconcile function default values between decl and def (#7665)
Updates the pattern matching code to support unspecified default values.
Adds logic to decl and def merge code to diagnose mismatches in defaults
if specified in both places, or if let entirely unspecified.

Per https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7521.

David Blaikie 3339dd85de Lower FacetType to TypeType to match FacetValue lowering (#7734)
SemIR::FacetValue lowers to context.GetTypeAsValue(), which produces a
constant of LLVM type %type (context.GetTypeType()). However,
SemIR::FacetType previously fell back to an anonymous empty struct {},
causing an argument type mismatch assertion failure when passing a
FacetValue to a function expecting a FacetType parameter.

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.

Lucile Rose Nihlen bc1ae703c3 return 0 from Run when it doesn't specify a return value (#7180)
https://carbon.compiler-explorer.com/z/88K9Kh5Wo shows the program
exiting with a garbage value copied from uninitialized memory.

This PR modifies `lower` to detect if the function lowered is the
entry point and doesn't specify a return type. If so, it emits
different LLVM IR to return int32 0, and modifies the lowered
function signature to match the int32 return type.

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.

Richard Smith 12cdd406b0 Factor type lowering out of file_context.cpp. (#7099)
This file was getting too big. This seems like a nice, independent chunk
to move elsewhere.
