Require types into which qualified lookup is performed to be completely
defined. Eventually this will trigger substitution into the definition
for generic types.
For each generic, build a list of instructions describing the
computations we need to do when resolving an instance of the generic:
this is a list of the instance-specific constants and types that the
generic uses. Another way of viewing this list is as a block of Carbon
SemIR code that is evaluated in order to form an instance of the generic
-- this is referenced in the code as the "eval block" for the generic.
For each instruction in the generic whose type or value is a symbolic
constant, replace that type or constant value with a symbolic reference
that says "to find the actual type or value, look at index N in the list
of values for the generic instance".
For an instruction with a symbolic constant value, we can just add that
instruction to our list. For an instruction with a symbolic constant
type, however, we may not have a corresponding instruction computing the
type within the generic and may need to build a new instruction, but
will reuse one where possible. In the case where we build a new
instruction, we use the existing substitution code to build the type
within the eval block.
For now, this transformation is only done in the declaration region of
the generic, not in the definition region. Also, we map back from the
symbolic references to the underlying constant value in a few places
where we will eventually need to do a lookup into a generic instance, in
order to avoid regressing the tests.
Based on discussion around the region handling in generic_region_stack,
create a generic structure for the stack-of-vectors support. I also want
to add this to InstBlockStack, but that's a little more complex due to
GlobalInit, so cutting a PR here to check with review.
My work here is how I noticed #4099; I want to be sure that I'm correct
about the issue, but it's the difference between being able to use
PeekArray or not.
Note in scope_stack.h, I believe we could remove next_compile_time_index
and make it just based on elements_size(). However, I want to verify
with you before I make further changes there.

When checking a declaration or definition of a generic, track a list of
created instructions that depend on the generic's parameters in some
way, along with information on how they depend on the parameters. This
will eventually be used to determine what information we need to compute
when creating instances of the generic, but for now we're just building
the list.
Information is tracked separately for the declaration region and the
definition region of the generic, because in general these may be first
provided in separate declarations, and they should be substituted into
at different times.
In a `class C(T:! type)`, the type `Self` should be `C(T)`, not merely
`C`. Similarly, in an `interface I(T:! type)`, the type of self should
be `I(T)`, not merely `I`.
In `ClassType`s and `InterfaceType`s, track a `GenericInstanceId` for
the instance rather than just the argument list.
