This opens up a path for switching `int line_num` to a `Location loc`, which I want to do for tracking filenames of code. But I don't think we should have a default constructor on `Location` to avoid mistakes, and switching FunctionDefinition to an arena alloc seems more consistent anyways.
It was in my mind to add String in order to support libraries in `package`. `print` is added in order to have a String go to stdout. I've tried to do `print` in a way that won't be too hard to add other printable types, but it's probably also somewhat optional here -- that is, if desired, I could remove it. But it was a lot easier to doublecheck `\n` behavior with it, and I suspect it'll be helpful in other tests if it supports more value types.
On the side, this also fixes dereferencing in Pattern/Expression Print() calls, which I was noticing printing pointers instead of values. This may be another argument for moving away from passing pointers, since this seems to be a difficult-to-catch error.

- Switch code to llvm::raw_ostream as part of standardizing output forms.
- Preferring llvm::raw_ostream over std::ostream because other tooling code should be expected to rely on llvm more closely, and an overall preference towards library consistency.
- There are a couple spots in syntax/ that still use std streams, but I'd prefer to take a separate PR to see how best to address those.
- std::boolalpha doesn't work with llvm, so I've implemented equivalent in a couple places (not enough that it felt like worth making a helper function).
- Implement Print(ostream) as consistently as we can, as an instance member.
- This facilitates the use of the common/ostream.h template to provide operators.
- Preferring this approach so that Print is easily accessible via gdb, per suggestion on #executable-semantics.
- Switch code currently calling `type->Print(ostream)` to instead do `ostream << *type`.
- Remove the unused `PrintTypeEnv`, nothing used it and the declaration didn't match the definition.
Note this makes some structural choices that I'm not sure how popular they'll be... Most notably, I could remove `DeclarationKind` because I'm using `std::visit` and `Declaration::Visitor` in reality. I could go to `switch(tag())` instead, but I'm wondering if this approach will be well received for the separation of ownership. Alternatively, I could move `Declaration` around so that it actually implements the things like `TopLevel` -- I did feel weird with the old structure of typecheck.cpp implementing members of declaration.h, though.
Slowly bringing this into line with Bison's C++ example parser
so we can use strong semantic values for symbols rather than
leaking pointers. First step is to thread a `ParseAndLexContext`
object through the whole syntactic analysis state, like the
example has. In the example, it's called `driver`.
