This is something I noticed working on
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/3884; I think we
have more functions named Diagnose* at present than Emit* or Report*, so
just trying to consolidate. Note a couple Diagnose* functions do a
little more validation, but maybe those should actually be renamed away
(zygoloid had mentioned wanting to generally split out diagnostics to
their own function, and then we'd have it be a more common pattern).
This was previously discussed at
https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/655578254970716160/1209975051588210729.
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.
This doesn't add full support. I'm separating it out to make the effects
of the modifier changes clearer for review. I'm restructuring a little
with the expectation that we'll have some more categories of modifier
keywords in the future (similar to `extern`, these may not be in a "set"
such as access), and thus easily scaling up to a few more would be
useful.
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.

This is supporting a direction that all parse nodes should correspond to
a single token, allowing for reduced tokenized buffer access during
checking (it's still necessary for diagnostics, and some literals).
One of the justifications for a unified parse node was implementation
LOC: note this is slightly smaller, using macros to reduce some
duplication. While this does add more switching in HandleDeclScopeLoop,
that's offset by less explicit switching in the check handlers. Also, I
think the duplication in HandleDeclScopeLoop can be reduced by shifting
the flow there, which I'll do in a separate PR.
