This enables us to stop using `Env` in the typechecker. As a byproduct, this commit also restructures the interpreter to handle run-time global initialization as part of ordinary execution, using the Action stack.
This required changing BindingPattern::name() to return `"_"` instead of nullopt when representing a `"_"` binding.
Semi-related drive-by fixes:
- Update BindingPlaceholderValue to expose a NamedEntity instead of a string name, and stop exposing its type.
- Drop the unused SourceLocation parameter of ValueEqual
Also explicitly model the types of expressions whose values are class or choice types, and make those be the static_type of the type declaration. This ensures that the static_type of a NamedEntity consistently corresponds to the static type of an IdentifierExpression using that name.
This doesn't actually use the results of name resolution, but it does verify that they are present.
Also ensures that name resolution and type checking are applied to deduced function parameters and the implicit call to `Main()`.

- Rename `PointerValue` to `LValue` to reflect how it's actually used. We can introduce a `PointerValue` type when we add support for actual pointer values.
- Remove support for pattern assignment. It's unclear if Carbon will support this, and even if we do, it raises questions that should first be addressed in a language proposal, like "is the left-hand side of `(x, y) = (1, 2)` an lvalue, or a pattern, or both, or something else entirely?"
This enables us to stop treating the return type as a Pattern (which is really isn't), treat return types more consistently with other static types in the typechecker, and drop ReturnTypeContext.
Additional changes:
- Merge TypeCheckFunDef with TypeOfFunDef.
- Handle implicit conversions in `return` statements.
- Require function type literals to have an explicit `->`.
- Move consistency check for omitted returns from TypeChecker to ResolveControlFlow.
This starts detecting naming collisions as a consequence of being able to determine when the name is declared twice in a given scope.

This was born out of wanting FunctionDeclaration to explicitly have a Block for a body, and became a bit more of specifying types around. Note this forces exec_program to generate a Block for print()'s body, which is probably more correct as now we can expect a standard FunctionDeclaration AST structure, even for the built-ins.
There is a syntactic change here: a continuation's body is now a Block, not just a Statement. I've added an example disallowed test case. I think this is more reasonable syntax.
Other than that, note that optional_else now generates a valid Block. This has me thinking about whether we can eliminate Sequence, but that seemed well out of scope for this.
This lets us statically distinguish between code that works with arbitrary `Address`es and code that can only work with pointers to separately-allocated storage, and so we no longer need to worry about the latter code crashing at run-time (as `Heap::Deallocate` did) or silently doing the wrong thing (as `Heap::PrintAddress` did) if it's given the wrong kind of `Address`.
Arguably missed in #769
Note, this is reminding me we have more class members to rename for `_`, but I felt it's best to use the new naming instead of adding more to clean up.
Rationale: Based on the status of #478 and #505, Carbon won't have this feature for a while, and it will be simpler not to support it on spec in the meantime.
`// NOLINT` is added on type aliases in stack.h and dictionary.h to allow lower_snake_case naming -- this didn't feel like a check worth disabling in spite of false positives.

Prior to this change, `__await` would make a deep copy of the continuation stack, but shallow-copy the individual stack frames within it. As a result, continuations appeared to have shallow semantics so long as the continuation stack had only a single frame.
This change also removes an obsolete test from the brief period when we intended continuations to have deep-copy semantics, which has been passing basically by accident.
This does a mass rename of:
- `SourceLoc()` -> `source_loc()` for property naming
- `loc` -> `source_loc_` for underscore+consistency
- Generally changing function args to `source_loc` for consistency
- `Tag()` -> `kind()` for property naming and `Kind` parity
- `tag` -> `kind_` for underscore
Also renames `Pos` and `Results` on `Action`. These are a bit of an exception in that most base classes only have `Tag` and maybe `SourceLoc`, whereas `Action` has a little more. I felt okay having `source_loc()` and `kind()` on the base class where children do `Exp()` and the like, but it felt weird to me to mix it on the same class.
The reason for doing this cross-class in one PR is so that I can do it efficiently with a global replace in the codebase, rather than e.g. changing `Expression` but having to read through compiler errors to determine where it's calling `Expression`'s `Tag` versus a different `Tag`. The end result should be equivalent.
The code is pretty intertwined: having the AST be truly mutable means (to me) changing parser.ypp to return non-const values, but then the way things are passed around between objects should be non-const (particularly an issue with lists), which then creates issues with construction of lists in the TypeChecker, which then TypeChecker needs to mostly be non-const.
Due to the difficulties in breaking this apart, whereas I'd previously considering refactoring accessor naming in the same PR, I've largely avoided doing so. The intent is then that this PR focuses mainly on const -> non-const AST behavior.
call_main moves out of interpreter.cpp so that interpreter.cpp can receive a fully const AST.
Revives BisonWrap because this seems a reasonable use of it (avoiding the need to have an std::optional or pointer for Alternative, both of which I thought could be unclear about the intent).
