The purpose of this change is to allow something such as a FunctionDecl
instruction to note an imported instruction as the "loc_id". Note that
doesn't occur here: this change is already very sweeping in edits. There
is no testdata affected, intended to show equivalent behavior.
We might want to consolidate NodeId references towards LocationId, but
if that's preferred, I'd still like to split it out. A lot of this just
piping through LocationId where it's a build error otherwise, enough
that imports should be able to start using it for diagnostics.
ValueStores are added but still unused -- just flushing out structure
for review.
Restructuring SemIRLocation is necessary to use LocationId this way. For
TokenOnly, it's not getting used in Parse, so I migrated it to Check and
it's now specific to SemIRLocation.
I also considered making LocationId reference an InstId (which would
need to be an ImportRef) instead of an ImportIRInstId. However, that
would've required import.cpp to add instructions for decls which are
reached during resolution -- we typically don't have an inst ready for
use. An extra inst is essentially 16 bytes in InstId's ValueStore + 4
bytes in LocationId's ValueStore, whereas this is 8 bytes per.
This was previously discussed at

I'm initiating this mainly because we typically use "id" suffixes to
indicate an `IdBase` being passed around and the non-id suffix of
`parse_node` suggests at it carrying more data than it actually does.
There used to be more reason for avoiding `node_id` because
`SemIR::InstId` used to be named `NodeId`, but that's no longer
necessary. As a consequence, I'd like to rename `parse_node` to more
precisely reflect its type.
In full, this is doing:
```
parse_node_kind -> node_kind
parse_node -> node_id
ParseNodeCategory -> NodeCategory
ParseNodeKind -> NodeKind
ParseNode -> NodeId
```
This is primarily in check and sem_ir, but with some `parse_node_kind`
references in parse too.
Pluralization is consistent with name forms on both sides, so that
wasn't part of my replacements.
The parse nodes are still tracked as part of the same value store
interface in order to ensure parity, but they're split out from Inst
itself in order to reduce the size of Inst -- the expectation is that
they don't need to be passed around quite as much.
This change doesn't actually reduce the passing very much, although
there are hints of it: AddInstAndPush doesn't typically need a separate
parse node from the one on the Inst itself, for example. In a couple
spots I changed code to rely a little more on the InstId until the
ParseNode is needed, but it's very low hanging fruit where done. I think
convert could do more to not eagerly fetch the parse node before its
use, but more cleanup felt it would be easier to handle separately. I'm
currently viewing this as making such cleanup _possible_ rather than
executing on it up-front.
But also, I want to make sure there's a consensus to head in this
direction before pulling the trigger. We speculated that this would
result in the parse node being passed around less, and I do think that's
the case, although it's a bit fuzzy in the change.

Goal is to increase type safety, though more work needs to be done (see
added TODOs).
Note that, after this change, check handlers corresponding to deleted
parse node kinds will no longer compile.
