Implement the toolchain side of proposal #7254, removing the `:!`
binding
syntax for generic and template parameters in favor of the keywords
`generic`,
`template`, and `runtime` plus contextual defaults for phase.
For valid programs this is semantics-preserving: each binding resolves
to the
same phase, and produces the same SemIR, as it did under `:!`/`:`. The
parser
derives a binding's phase from its syntactic context plus any explicit
phase
keyword; new diagnostics and error recovery for misused keywords are
described
below.
Implementation details for each component:
- Lexer: remove the `:!` (`ColonExclaim`) token, move its virtual
parse-node
budget onto `:`, and add the `generic` and `runtime` keywords.
- Parser: thread a `BindingContext` (`ExplicitParam`, `DeducedParam`, or
`CompileTimeEntityParam`) from declaration introducers down through
parameter
lists to each binding pattern, using a one-token lookahead to
distinguish a
name-qualifier parameter list from a declaration's own final list.
Parameters
of a compile-time entity (`class`, `interface`, `constraint`, `choice`,
`alias`, `export`, `namespace`) and deduced `[]` parameters default to
checked
generic; explicit function parameters and local bindings default to
runtime.
`HandleBindingPattern` resolves the phase from that context plus the
keyword: a
`generic` keyword needs no node of its own (the phase is carried by the
binding's node kind), while a `runtime` keyword is preserved as a
`RuntimeBindingName` node so `check` can name it in a diagnostic. A
phase
keyword that is merely redundant with the contextual default is
diagnosed
here, without invalidating the parse tree.
- Check: a phase keyword that is invalid for its context (for example
`runtime`
on a checked-generic parameter) is diagnosed here, and recovers by
building an
error binding that still introduces the name so that later uses of it do
not
produce cascading errors.
The removed `:!` syntax is now rejected as an ordinary parse error.
The `form`/`:?`/`->?` ("extended types") portion of proposal #7254 is
left for a
separate change.

A lambda introducer (`fn` in expression context) with no parameters and
no body -- for example `(fn)`, where `)` immediately follows `fn` --
left `HandleLambdaAfterParams` calling `ReturnErrorOnState()` without
ever emitting a `Lambda` node. The orphaned `LambdaIntroducer` leaf was
then left where an expression was required, so `Parse` produced a tree
that failed its own verification and aborted via `CARBON_FATAL`.
Recover the way `HandleLambdaBody` already does for a missing body after
a return type: emit a placeholder `InvalidParse` body and finish a
complete `Lambda` node, so the lambda stays a valid expression and the
surrounding construct (here a `ParenExpr`) extracts cleanly.
Found by fuzzing.

Fixes a compiler crash that occurs when a malformed lambda is provided
as an operand to an operator that strictly expects an expression
Changes:
- Emits an `InvalidParse` dummy node at the current position to act as a
placeholder for the missing body
- Changed state transitions so that `LambdaIntroducer` gets properly
wrapped into a `Lambda` node
Closes#6823

This change ensures that a function signature always starts with an
`IdentifierNameMaybeBeforeSignature` node (renamed from
`IdentifierNameBeforeParams`), even in the case of function declarations
like `fn F -> T` that have no parameter list. As a consequence, this
ensures that we push new entries onto `pattern_block_stack` and
`full_pattern_stack` when we start processing the function signature.
This adds the necessary parser infrastructure to recognize and parse
lambda expressions in Carbon.
Key changes:
- Added and Parse Node Kinds.
- Updated to use to accommodate the growing number of node kinds.
- Implemented parser states and handlers for lambda syntax ( or ).
- Added structure to .
- Added diagnostics for missing lambda bodies.
- Added a stub in phase to defer semantic analysis using .
- Added parser tests for lambdas.
