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.
I was suggesting this because `FloatingPoint` is pretty long. `int` and
`float` should be familiar abbreviations. `unsigned` should be familiar
to developers too, but `UnsignedInt` still feels usefully clearer for
the additional chars.
This is an incremental improvement on our diagnostic messages that
simply underlines an entire token if the token is larger than 1 char
(else it points to the single char with a caret like it used to).
Can specify which tokens are allowed generally, and any additional
tokens that only occur when the parse node has an error.

This removes a (very) hot branch in the lexer where we need to special
case when a token is the first token and can't look at its previous
token. It also seems like a generally nice change to the structure of
both the token buffer and parse tree as there are now bracketing
elements for both ends and we should be able to avoid similar branching
in the future.
Mostly mechanical updates to the lexer and parser code to handle this,
but also needed to special case the location information in the
autoupdate code. And then the usual large body of auto-updated tests.
No benchmark data for this change alone as in isolation and in the
current lexer structure it doesn't make a big difference. But this
branch was particularly difficult to handle when trying to update the
whitespace skipping code to be faster, and so I think it is worth
systematically avoiding the special case here.
This makes the difference between errors and lower-level diagnostics
visible to users, and aligns the toolchain's behavior with the
expectations in `driver_fuzzer.cpp`.
Continuing with #3070. Just a dir and file rename (mostly removing
prefixes, although for parse_tree_fuzzer and parse_tree_file_test I'm
dropping "tree" instead of "parse"). Everything in the parse dir should
be marked as a move.
