This switches types to using SemanticsTypeId instead of SemanticsNodeId, and lowering pre-builds its list of types. The empty tuple type is special-cased because we don't want to emit it unless it's in-use, but as the implicit return for functions, it's frequently used. Callables use invalid to indicate the implicit return, and that seems undesirable to change due to the size increase.
This removes special-casing of empty structs, handling them as just a regular value instead of a builtin. Note the `{} as Type` is still special-cased.
In lowering, removes the test of calling a function using `{}` because it's missing the proper load/store. This setup notices that error whereas the prior worked due to said special-casing. Fixing this will need to be done as part of generally adding loads for variable uses.
This is the first step to refactoring types into a SemanticsTypeId. This only tracks what's in-use, but as a consequence starts funneling type information through in ways similar to how I'd want it to do SemanticsTypeId.
Previously, IR for arguments in calls and struct values was separated out. This merges it back in. Additionally, parameters for functions and struct types had their own IR; the block is still there, but there's a TODO to decide what to do with it.
In the LLVM IR, this has the consequence of emitting expressions that are inputs to a call or struct value within the scope of the function, which is pretty much where it should be. Importantly it happens before the call is encountered.
This change also tinkers with the int and real literal lowering. I'm pretty sure both are still wrong, but was having trouble figuring out a "better" way to do it, and this seems like it'll work for now.
The intent of this change is that instead of paths looking like `explorer/testdata/foo/bar.carbon` (repo-relative), they're now just `bar.carbon` (local). The consequence is that paths should be a bit more durable in various environments, and just paths should be shorter and easier to read.
The explorer's prelude is an exception to this since it comes from data, rather than being the test target. Due to the change in approaches, it needs the regex again.
Uses #2829
This builds on #2814 by adding the test framework to the toolchain. On Linux, this is 7s -> 4s for me. #2811 has more detailed timing for the explorer, which also had more dramatic changes because it's about 3x more tests run in 2x as many ways (6x total).

This handles the basics of type and value for structs. Structurally, these look like parameters and arguments (respectively) because expressions/generics may result in multiple IR nodes being generated.
Because `{}` needs to be cast to a type for storage, I'm also adding some validation that's not specific to `{}`, e.g. that `1` shouldn't be valid as a type for storage (previously, nothing errored for that).
This adds more stringification of types, particularly literals, because they come up in value errors now.
ImplicitAs is the result of me mulling whether I'm taking the right approach on type conversions. I think it needs to return a value so that if the implicit cast rewrites the value, the result is accessible to the caller. I may reorient the current TryTypeConversion logic to be more based on the ImplicitAs logic.
These changes should make output more stable when builtins are added to semantics. By omitting them from nodes and printing nodes as "relative to the last builtin", I should be able to add and remove builtins without automatically affecting every test. Also by printing builtin nodes as `nodeNameOfBuiltin`, it's a little easier to understand what's going on (for me, at least).
This is starting to build out actual lowering logic, for a really simple `fn Main() -> i32 { return 0; }`
Notes for achieving this:
- In semantics, currently function names are bound separate from the signature. When emitting IR, this turns out to be inconvenient because we want to know the name when we process the declaration and the definition. This change addresses that by merging the name into the FunctionDeclaration node, which is also accessible from the definition. It removes the separate BindName. This should be the cause of all the test changes in semantics, because the IR generated changes.
- Add a "Lowering" class which I'm using to hold the llvm builder state. This class now has minimal support for the SemanticsIR generated by the above example.
- In the "Lowering", values from expressions are stored in a DenseMap. I'll keep thinking about whether there's a cleaner way to achieve this, and I'd call it a temporary solution for now. However, this is how the `0` in `return 0` gets properly associated across SemanticsIR instructions, and it'll frequently be an issue in less trivial cases.
This adds tracking of call information plus basic type checking. It adds a builtin for the empty tuple, mainly so that I have the basis for a default function return type.
As an aside, it also unifies printing within SemanticsIR, fixing a missing comma after callables.
