These were defined inline in headers reached by most of the toolchain,
and as non-template functions their bodies -- including some very
expensive template instantiations -- are compiled in every including TU
even though they are only cold debug/dump paths:
- BundleStore's YAML output entry points instantiate IdAndKind::Dispatch
over all ~50 ID kinds (two ~365ms instantiations per TU) plus
Yaml::OutputScalar/std::function machinery; moved to a new bundle.cpp.
- TypeStore, ConstantValueStore, NameStoreWrapper, and SharedValueStores
OutputYaml bodies wrap capturing lambdas in std::function via
Yaml::OutputMapping; moved to their existing .cpp files.
This change appears to be worth another 10% compile time reduction.

As part of this, move functions that seem reasonable to make out-of-line
to a separate `_impl.h` header file that is only included where the
explicit instantiation _definition_ is provided.
By using explicit instantiation we can make these templates behave more
like non-template classes in terms of supporting out-of-line definitions
that don't need to be compiled by every translation unit. The set of
eventual instantiations here is fundamentally known, and there tend to
be headers that define a canonical "leaf" type where it makes sense to
trigger the explicit instantiation.
Where we already had a `.cpp` file to put the explicit instantiation
definition, use it. But in some places we didn't have such a `.cpp` file
so this PR adds those.
This also requires that we have precise constraints on APIs that _can't_
be instantiated for specific argument types, as now we don't do this
lazily.
Combined, this appears to reduce the sum of object file sizes in the
`check` directory by almost 40% (122mb -> 74mb) in my measurement.
My actual goal was to improve compile times, but so far I don't have a
great methodology for measuring these... But the object file size
reduction seems to confirm this is a net win and likely represents a
non-trivial improvement in compile time.
