Geoff Romer 8945305dfc Emit NameBindingDecl after the initializer (if any) (#7467)
In some cases the pattern block can depend on the initializer, so it
must be sequenced after it. See #7469 for a more detailed explanation of
why this is necessary.

Geoff RomerandRichard Smith e023f75254 Implement thunking in terms of constant evaluation (#7332)
The bulk of this change is changing most pattern insts to be `Always`
rather than `AlwaysUnique` constants, so that they can be wrapped in
`SpecificConstant`s to perform substitution. That then lets thunking
rely much more on `SpecificConstant` wrappers instead of deep-copying
the inst tree with modified types.

This approach to thunking should scale better, particularly as things
like form generics make function signatures more complex, because we can
leverage the existing support for constant evaluation and substitution.
Unfortunately, applying this approach to binding patterns will require
more work; see the TODO near the top of `thunk.cpp` for details.

Richard Smith ae6846197a Remove trailing () from Core.*Literal and Core.Bool. (#7313)
We exposed `Core.IntLiteral()`, `Core.FloatLiteral()`,
`Core.CharLiteral()`, and `Core.Bool()` as functions as a workaround,
because we had no way to provide the type names without parentheses that
the design requests. But now we can do so, by using an alias. Switch all
of these over from being functions to simply being names of the
corresponding types.

Richard Smith f9ab963bd6 Add a type_literal instruction to represent syntactic type literals. (#6781)
This allows us to capture the location at which a type literal was used,
even in the cases where we don't otherwise need to create a new
instruction to represent the type such as for `char` or `str`.

The logic used to build the underlying type is now marked as desugaring.
For cases such as `iN`, this causes the call to `Core.Int` to no longer
be added as a dedicated IR instruction, and instead its constant value
is used directly as the value of the `type_literal`. This results in
this being on balance a reduction in the size of the IR.

This also fixes a crash in C++ interop when using a `char` literal as a
template argument. The crash was caused by the template argument not
having an associated location when mapping to a C++ location. See
changes to check/testdata/interop/cpp/template/type_param.carbon for an
example that used to crash before this change.

Update alias handling to allow an alias to point at any type literal,
reinstating support for aliases for type literals such as `bool` and
`i32` that had previously worked but stopped working when we
transitioned those types to being defined in the prelude. See changes to
toolchain/check/testdata/alias/builtins.carbon.

All the test changes other than the two mentioned above are mechanical
autoupdate changes switching to the new instruction.

Geoff Romer 09710d102f Separate binding insts for refs and values (#6235)
This resolves a TODO in `expr_info.cpp` by using the inst kind rather
than the bound value to track the binding's category.

Since we're churning all the `bind_name` insts in testdata anyway, I'm
also taking this opportunity to align the inst naming with the design's
terminology, by calling these insts "bindings" (this aspect of the PR is
dependent on #6231 resolving an ambiguity in that terminology). For
consistency we'll need to rename several other insts as well (see the
TODO on `RefBinding`); I'm deferring that to a separate PR to minimize
the review load, but I think those name changes are in-scope for this
review.

Jon Ross-Perkins 7ccc1e0144 Expand naming for impls and functions (#5808)
Change impls from `<interface>.impl` to `<self>.as.<interface>.impl`,
and *member* functions to `<parent scope>.<fn>` (non-member functions
exclude their parent scope). Stop special-casing builtin functions,
given the new naming scheme.

The purpose of this is to make it clearer when a member function is
being accessed and, if so, which member function. In particular, we
often access interface `Op` functions. The builtin function
special-casing was intended to help with that, but we still have lots of
`Op` functions. This particular approach should make the interactions
clearer.

This changes up queueing of block IDs a little because, in particular,
we need to process bodies of entities only after constants finish
processing. But, it should also result in less memory usage during
processing because it means we have less on the insts stack at any given
time, since we track a block rather than all instructions contained by
the block.

Jon Ross-Perkins e855f38b8c Tag destruction as desugaring (#5790)
In `BuildUnaryOperator`, `GetOperatorOpFunction` is treated as
desugaring, but `PerformCompoundMemberAccess` and `PerformCall` are not.
This treats all of destruction as desugaring.

This leads to some instructions being elided, because of `GetOrAddInst`
behaviors:

> // If the instruction has a desugared location and a constant value,
returns
> // the constant value's instruction ID. Otherwise, same as AddInst.

This changes instructions that previously had a non-desugared location
to instead have a desugared location, so if they also have a constant
value then the constant value can be used directly.

Jon Ross-Perkins 0722dab0ef Reimplement destroy as an interface (#5678)
This changes `Destroy` to use an interface for its implementation.

Note that this change includes a lot of test updates. Even when
`Destroy` is a no-op, it still causes code generation as part of
determining that.

Originally I was trying to use ranges to cut down the scope of this, and
to a degree I think they have. But a flipside here is that cases where
no destructors should be generated -- particularly globals -- would be
needed to completely remove destructor calls. Even for ranges, the range
can often include the destructor placement. So I've shifted
frame-of-thought a little: accept a bunch of destructor churn, because
destructors are needed and will be prevalent. The verbosity is a feature
of the design to make desugaring apparent in IR, not a bug.

a23631f360 Support for lowering references to imported vars. (#5513)
Previously we walked the global variables defined by the current file
and emitted an LLVM global variable definition for each of them. Now
instead, when emitting a constant reference to a global variable, we
emit an LLVM global variable declaration, and we then subsequently walk
the global variables defined by the current file and convert each of
them from a declaration to a definition.

In order to make import of names of global variables work, add support
for import of `var`, as well as support for importing `tuple_access` and
`tuple_pattern` in the case where the `var` has a tuple pattern in its
declaration. Also treat `bind_name`s that are reference bindings to
`var`s as having the same constant reference value as their `var` so
that we can properly import and lower them.

Richard Smith 5b884ae14d Improve lowering for global variables. (#5492)
- Track the `VarPattern` instruction on the `VarStorage` instruction so
that it's available for name mangling.
- Mangle global variables based on the first binding name within their
pattern.
- Give global variables external rather than internal linkage, except if
they have no bindings whatsoever in their pattern.
- To support lowering references to bindings nested within a global var,
such as for `var (x: i32, b: i32)`, add some basic initial support for
reference constant expressions. Treat a global `var` as a reference
constant, and treat an aggregate access into a reference constant as a
reference constant.

Richard Smith 797b14eb8e Import ImplWitnessTable into the imports block instead of the constants block. (#5374)
Don't import `ImplWitnessTable` into the `constants` block, because we
generally don't put `Unique` constants there. This matches the handling
of the other kinds of `Unique` constants. In order to keep the
instruction visible in formatted SemIR, add it to the `imports` block
instead.

Also fix a bug in the instruction formatter that resulted in
instructions in the `imports` block being omitted from the output if
they were only referenced by earlier instructions in the `imports` block
and by instructions in the `constants` block. This was already resulting
in some referenced instructions being omitted from the output, but also
occurred frequently for `impl_witness_table` instructions after this
change because it is common for the only reference to those instructions
to be from `impl_witness` instructions in the `constants` block.

Richard Smith b1230218d5 Make fingerprinting stable across compatible source changes. (#4789)
Include the index rather than the name in the fingerprint of a symbolic
binding. While both the index and the name contribute to the canonical
identity, using either one of them in the fingerprint is sufficient to
ensure that distinct entities get different fingerprints. Changing the
name of a symbolic binding should ideally not result in fingerprint
changes, so exclude the name from the fingerprint when we have an index.

Use the canonical type and constraint when fingerprinting an impl, so
that uses of names in `name_ref` instructions aren't considered, only
the entity the name resolves to, and different ways of spelling the same
type have the same fingerprint. This similarly allows compatible changes
to be made to impls without changing the fingerprint.

Exclude the declaration block when determining the fingerprint of a
declaration. The declaration block contains the declarations of
parameters of the declaration, which do affect whether two declarations
are identical, but not whether they denote the same entity, because it
would be invalid to have different declaration blocks for declarations
with the same name in the same scope. Therefore changes to the
declaration block are compatible, and it's useful for such changes to
not affect the fingerprint.

This is not easy to test in isolation with our current testing
machinery. However, a follow-on PR will change the name of a parameter
in the prelude, and with this in place, will not cause any changes to
occur elsewhere in the toolchain tests.

Richard Smith a10c79569e Model Core.Int as a class type (#4644)
Instead of treating `Core.Int` as the toolchain's builtin `IntType`,
model it as a class that adapts the builtin type. This aligns us better
with the intended language model, gives an associated library for
`impl`s involving `Core.Int` to live within, and opens the door adding
member functions to `Core.Int` if we decide that is desirable.
Remarkably it also seems to make the formatted SemIR a little smaller,
because a call to a generic class generates less IR than a call to a
function.

When an `IntLiteral` appears as an operand of an `if` expression,
convert it to `i32` for now, so that we don't reject things like `if

For tuple indexing expressions such as `(a, b).0`, convert the index to
type `IntLiteral`, not to type `i32`. This isn't strictly necessary to
do in this PR, but avoids the need to provide an `IntLiteral` -> `i32`

chosen to deviate from that design by putting the patterns in separate
blocks, and omitting the "forward references" from a `BindingPattern` to
