During impl lookup, for each (generic) impl candidate, we form a
specific for that impl by deducing its generic arguments. Then we
compare the query interface against the impl's specific interface. That
comparison needs the deduced arguments applied to the impl's specific
interface. Previously we were doing this by getting the impl's
constraint facet type with the impl's specific applied (via
`GetConstantValueInSpecific()`) and then identifying that facet type
with the impl's deduced self.
Identify is a fairly expensive operation. It runs subst, trying to
replace `.Self` references. It walks named constraints. It collects
require declarations. We're looking at making it do _more_ in the future
too, including rewrite constraint resolution and collecting rewrite and
same-type constraints. For this reason we have a cache to make it cheap
on the second run, but it's still a very heavyweight operation to
involve in impl lookup, when all we want is to apply the impl's specific
to its target interface.
We almost have all the information we need to avoid the identification
step. We have the impl's specific after deduction. And we have the
SpecificInterface that the impl is targeting in the `Impl` struct. When
we form the specific for the impl itself, we resolve the declaration
block and form new constant values for all instructions in there, but
that does not cover the SpecificInterface that we're storing in the
`Impl` struct. So we add a new instruction to the impl's eval block,
which will be symbolic when the impl is generic and the target interface
depends on a generic parameter. And we store the `InstId` in the `Impl`
struct. This allows us to gets its constant value later with the impl's
specific applied. From that constant value we can then pull out the
SpecificInterface that the impl is targeting.
Allow (don't diagnose) impls that have the same type structure if they
are associated with the same match_first block. Similarly, allow final
impls (made final by their enclosing match_first block) that overlap in
type structure when they are associated with the same match_first block.
If the type structures are the same, choose the first impl from the
match_first block.same.
If the type structures overlap but are not the same, and share a
match_first block, then we should choose the first overlapping impl from
the match_first block. This is true both for final and non-final impls.

But in the non-final case if there is an overlapping impl outside the
match_first, it can win if it's more specific.
Previously the last decl had to be the definition. Now we allow a
declaration after a definition, so that the user can write a match_first
block last, and put (re-)declarations of impls in it, after the
definitions have already been written elsewhere.
We track the location of the decl that was associated with a match_first
block so that we can correctly point to it in diagnostics when an impl
is written twice in match_first blocks. Since impls may not be
redeclared across an import boundary, we will never have a `SemIR::Impl`
with a match_first from a different file in a redeclaration, so we don't
need to import the location of a previous decl that was in a match_first
for diagnostics. As such we just store a LocId on the `SemIR::Impl`
struct.
When we check an `impl` decl, find the containing `match_first` block,
if any, and store a connection to it in the `SemIR::Impl` structure,
along with the impl's position in that `match_first` block so that we
can sort/prioritize the `SemIR::Impl`s later.
Also, update the `is_final` flag if the `match_first` block is modified
as `final`. But ensure we diagnose trying to put a `final impl`, or a
redeclaration of one, in a `match_first` block. Also diagnose if an impl
is attached to a `match_first` block more than once - either in two
different blocks or in the same block at different positions.
Putting the `match_first` connection on the `SemIR::Impl` structure
means we have to import it, so implement import and add a smoke test for
that, which ensures nothing explodes.
Drop the `scope_stack` entry for the `match_first` block, as it was not
needed. Once we started tracking the `match_first` size on the `Context`
class, it became more straightforward to just store the `match_first`
decl `InstId` in the same place. The `match_first` block is not supposed
to act like a different scope for the purpose of redecls anyhow, so it's
a bit simpler this way.
It must be in a namespace, function, or class. In particular, it can't
be in another match_first, doing so immediately associates any impl
inside with two different match_first scopes, but we only want them
associated with one for prioritization.
Push a scope_stack entry for match_first blocks, and handle impls being
inside those scope entries. An impl should not use the `match_first`
block as its "enclosing scope" for the purpose of deciding if the impl
is a redecl of another impl. We should look through it to the class or
namespace the impl (and match_first) are located inside.
We don't yet store the relationship between the impl and its match_first
block, nor then can we use it in impl lookup for prioritization.
