Instead of maintaining a stack of pending subpatterns which might or
might not contain expressions, we mark non-nesting regions during
pattern handling that might contain an expression. The implementation
remains largely the same; the difference is that callers are expected to
end a pending expression region as soon as possible, rather than wait
for the end of the subpattern. This makes it possible to emit
non-pattern insts during pattern handling, without the risk that they
will get caught in a pending expression region further up the stack.
Instead of traversing the entire pattern block looking for
`VarPattern`s, we keep track of them on creation, and then build
`VarStorage`s directly from that list.
This also gets rid of the global `var_storage_map`, and instead keep
that information narrowly scoped to each full-pattern, and consume it in
a single linear traversal instead of with random-access lookups. To
enable that, this fixes a parse bug where nested `var` patterns were
getting diagnosed but not marked as errors.
The bulk of this change is changing most pattern insts to be `Always`
rather than `AlwaysUnique` constants, so that they can be wrapped in
`SpecificConstant`s to perform substitution. That then lets thunking
rely much more on `SpecificConstant` wrappers instead of deep-copying
the inst tree with modified types.
This approach to thunking should scale better, particularly as things
like form generics make function signatures more complex, because we can
leverage the existing support for constant evaluation and substitution.
Unfortunately, applying this approach to binding patterns will require
more work; see the TODO near the top of `thunk.cpp` for details.

For now, disable the use of array types as by-var paramters and by-init
return types when exporting Carbon functions to C++, as C++ does not
support raw arrays being passed or returned by value.

As suggested in [1], replace `FieldInitializerMap` with a `FieldStore`.
The corresponding `FieldId` is now stored in `FieldDecl`. To make room
for the `FieldId`, the `ElementIndex` is now stored in the `Field`,
along with the initializer.
In import_ref.cpp, resolving `FieldDecl` initializers is now supported,
and in convert.cpp `LoadImportRef` is called to do so. The
`field_initializer_import.carbon` test now passes.
Printing a `FieldDecl` instruction now prints the initializer as well,
if present. See field_initializer.carbon for an example.

This adds the `static` token to the lexer and parses it as a modifier.
In check, `FullPatternStack::Kind::FieldDecl` is now used for both
static and non-static vars. Static vars get treated basically the same
as `NameBindingDecl`s.
Global initialization is used for static var initializers. To make the
necessary stack information available to `pattern_match.cpp`, the
`full_pattern_stack` and `decl_introducer_state_stack` are now popped
later in `handle_let_and_var.cpp`.
In lowering, each class's body is checked for `VarStorage` insts and
lowered the same as global vars.
Class vars are still restricted to simple `name: type` bindings, not
full patterns. This is now handled in the check phase instead of during
parsing.
This is in preparation for supporting `static var`.
See

for the design doc.
This also removes the default value of the `result_type_inst_id`
parameter of `HandleAction`, moves it before the action in the parameter
list, and documents it. This solves two problems:
- The default made it easy to forget, leading to unnecessary
`TypeOfInst` instructions.
- When it was present, putting it after the fairly "bulky" action
argument tended to make the callsite harder to read.
When importing a C++ function with an rvalue reference parameter, we
previously produced a Carbon value parameter. This would lead to the
toolchain believing it could pass the address of a non-expiring object
to the function, which would lead to a use-after-move.
Instead, we now map non-const rvalue reference parameters to Carbon
`var` parameters. This forces the object passed into C++ to be unique
and owned by the call. While that's not an exact match for C++ rvalue
reference parameters, given that it provides "always move" not
"conditionally move", it's the closest match we have at the moment.
Instead, use the inst category to select the right block stack. This
simplifies the API for adding insts, and in subsequent changes it will
enable certain inst kinds like `SpliceInst` to seamlessly function as
either procedural insts or pattern insts.
When parsing a pattern, if we encounter something that isn't pattern
syntax, try parsing as an expression instead. We only need one-token
lookahead to distinguish pattern syntax from expression syntax.
Track a precedence group through pattern parsing so that we can allow
different kinds of expressions in a top-level pattern (such as the
operand of `let`) and in a nested pattern (such as a subpattern of a
tuple pattern or within grouping parens). For example, we do not allow
`case if ...`, and for now I've chosen to also not allow logical or
relational operators at the top level of a pattern, so `case 1 + 1` is
OK, but `case 1 == 1` and `case true and false` require parentheses.
This decision should be ratified or revisited by a design proposal.
Very basic check support is also provided, only sufficient to form an
`ExprPattern` instruction and nothing beyond that. For now, all pattern
matching against an `ExprPattern` fails with a TODO error. To support
that, I've switched from calling `BeginSubpattern` in the parent handler
of a pattern and `EndSubpatternAs*` in the pattern handler itself to
calling both functions in parent handlers, with `EndSubpattern`
converting an expression into an expression pattern where needed.
Depends on #6976.

This follows up on a discussion about wanting to use `Any*` inst
clusters to handle boilerplate construction, with the issue that
`UncheckedLoc` use removes validation. Some context is at
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6930#discussion_r2963157428.
This folds in `MakeImportedLocIdAndInst` because the logic is related,
particularly for `LocId` values which are `ImportIRInstId`, and it
eliminates questions of what the right function is to use.
This uncovers an error in the `NodeKind` associated with
`FormBindingPattern`. For now I'm just adding a TODO regarding that.

This enables some nice simplifications, and it's also a step toward a
broader restructuring of binding and parameter patterns.

This is a step toward removing the index from `InitForm`, so that equal
form values always have equal representations.

Implementation of unused pattern bindings #2022, continued.
Whereas previous PR #6460 took care of parsing, and PR #6479 prepared
the stage by using _ in some test cases, this PR has the the actual
implementation, using a simple dataflow analysis.

Not all functions have a return slot, and once we have composite forms,
functions will be able to have any number of return slots. Obtaining a
unique return slot for a function only makes sense in `returned var`
handling.
This approach is more robust because there's no intermediate state where
the `ParamPattern` insts have been created, but don't yet have their
final values.
For now, map C++ reference types to const-qualified Carbon pointer types
rather than picking between a (non-const) pointer or a value type. This
fixes misbehavior in lowering for reference members in classes and
reference return types.
Update the special-case handling for references as function parameters
so that it continues to map const reference parameters to Carbon
pass-by-value, and unify the code paths for `self` parameters and other
parameters, which were mostly doing the same thing but had some subtle
differences.
Add references to the list of types that we can pass to and from C++
directly, without needing an additional layer of thunks.
This resolves a TODO in `expr_info.cpp` by using the inst kind rather
than the bound value to track the binding's category.
Since we're churning all the `bind_name` insts in testdata anyway, I'm
also taking this opportunity to align the inst naming with the design's
terminology, by calling these insts "bindings" (this aspect of the PR is
dependent on #6231 resolving an ambiguity in that terminology). For
consistency we'll need to rename several other insts as well (see the
TODO on `RefBinding`); I'm deferring that to a separate PR to minimize
the review load, but I think those name changes are in-scope for this
review.
Although this focused on `Destroy` support, some choices here around
`implicit_type_impls` are because copy/move will likely follow a similar
approach. I'm trying not to predict too much about how we'll structure
those, but I'm putting `Destroy` impl logic in a file that could perhaps
be shared with those. They'd likely be interested in similar things,
e.g. traversing members of types (particularly class, struct literal,
tuple literal).
At present this sets the destroy function as `no_op` which is consistent
with current logic, but has a TODO to correctly define.
Constant importing for functions changes slightly due to some issues I
was having with `GetFunctionType`. zygoloid suggested this approach to
avoid `EvalInst` logic.
Adds a flag for controlling whether to generating these impls. While
this does generation for `class`, as noted above this'll also need to be
done for tuples and struct literals, which would leave the `none.carbon`
min_prelude unable to use any types. Note if destruction *would* occur,
it'll still look up `Core.Destroy` for that and fail, but that's already
true of any test using `none.carbon`. I'm trying to use the flag to see
if we can keep `none.carbon` working mostly-consistently.
I'd tried separating out the flag to #5852, but that got a lot of
pushback over whether the behavior was appropriate. I'm hoping that the
interactions here make it clearer why the particular approach -- the
goal is not to enable advanced testing, or create some new end-user
behavior that we really support, it's just to keep no-prelude tests
functional. The main question raised there was why not just keep
generating `impl T as Core.Destroy` if `fn destroy` is present -- but I
think here it should be apparent that would require additional
complexity, as the generation of `impl T as Core.Destroy` is not
currently conditioned based on the implementation of `fn destroy`. I'd
rather add complexity to this flag only if it's enabling interesting
test functionality.

Add check support for `for` loops following #1885. This also adds a
basic `Optional` type to the prelude, as that's necessary to support the
new `Iterate` interface.
Depends on #5688, #5697. Those PRs aren't stacked here, but this change
will crash until they land.
