Rationale: this convention avoids forcing closely-related code to be far
apart in the namespace hierarchy, and vice versa. By the same token, it
makes the namespace hierarchy more consistent with the directory
hierarchy.
This will be more correct if a user file is named prelude.carbon, and
reduces the explorer runtime by about 10% by removing a string
comparison from the check for whether trace output is enabled.

First step towards permitting declarations within namespaces. Supports only functions within namespaces for now, with no way to call those functions except from within other such functions. Unqualified lookups within a function in a namespace look in that namespace first.

Features:
* Add basic support for `impl` virtual methods (override virtual method)
* Error on invalid declaration for `impl` and `virtual`, covering simple use cases
* Add `abstract` fn parser-only support
Changes:
* Modify parser to handle new function specifiers, resolve conflicts
* Group `virtual_override` and `FN`, and group `impl_kind` and `IMPL` to avoid ambiguities with around `impl` token parsing
* Add new `VirtualOverride` enum for function declarations, and matching `virt_override() -> VirtualOverride` getter
* Update function declaration logic
Depends on #2462
Features:
* Add `virtual` virtual override keyword for functions
* Support `virtual` class methods using dynamic dispatch
Changes:
* Add `vtable` in `NominalClassType`,
* Add `NominalClassValue**` in class values pointing to descendant-most class
* Resolve virtual methods during member lookup
Limitations:
* Does not include yet `impl`, `abstract` virtual override keywords, or the complete logic for virtual function declaration
Depends on #2460

This PR implements the `returned var` for the explorer.
- Enabled `returned var` and `return var` syntax in lexer and parser.
- Split `Return` statement into `ReturnVar` and `ReturnExpression` to distinguish the two types of returns.
- Added logic in name resolution, type checking and interpretation to process `returned var` definition and `ReturnVar` statement.
