Parse the name of a declaration as a sequence of `NameQualifier`s --
which have a name, possibly parameters, and a trailing period --
followed by a name and possibly parameters. This prepares us for parsing
declarations of members of generic classes and similar cases, but
actually supporting such member redeclarations is left to a future
change.
We previously required functions to have parameters, but no longer do,
following the direction of #3848. Cases like namespaces that can't
actually have parameters are now diagnosed in check instead of in parse.

The purpose of the newline is to make it clearer where a given
diagnostic begins and ends, particularly as the first message of a
diagnostic may not be the error.
This is a trivial code change, but ripples edits through test files.
Adds `BindAlias` with a hybrid of `BindName` and `NameRef` semantics. I
think it's slightly closer to `BindName` because it introduces a name,
so I'm going more in that direction. This also matches the need for
`bind_name_id` with imports on enclosing scopes.
Note, only things that look like a name reference are being allowed on
the RHS of `alias`. This includes builtins that look like name
references, such as `bool`, but not ones that turn into values
underneath, such as `false`.
