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.

Implementation of unused pattern bindings #2022, continued.
Whereas previous PR #6460 took care of parsing, and PR #6479 prepared
the stage by using _ in some test cases, this PR has the the actual
implementation, using a simple dataflow analysis.

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.
This drops file_test runtime from about 3s to 2.5s on my machine, which
is now ~30% faster than before #5653 slowed things down by adding a lot
of stuff to the production prelude.

Where `--no-dump-sem-ir` is used, change to `--dump-sem-ir-ranges=only`.
Otherwise, add `--dump-sem-ir-ranges=if-present` with a TODO to change
to `only`.
Note, SemIR is affected just because the extra comments change line
numbers in files where splits aren't in use.
When a generic function declaration was encountered for the second or
more time, we would FinishGenericRedecl() for the function decl, but
this just popped the generic region stack and moved on.
The issue with that is when the stack entry is gone, we lose the
symbolic constants from that declaration, and are unable to rewrite them
to point to the actual generic. This left us with a function declaration
with abstract symbolic values that were not useful, and in a function
call we use the declaration attached to the definition, which would be a
declaration with broken symbolic values. Then the function would be
uncallable since deduce would be unable to determine argument types
without the generic bindings.
This resolves the issue for functions, as well as ensuring the correct
generic id from a previous declaration is used for other generic entity
types that have redeclarations.
When a function declaration is qualified, such as defining a class
method outside the class body, we need only the function declaration to
contribute to its generic region stack. The code was collecting constant
values from all qualifier segments together incorrectly.
So when we PushNameQualifierScope(), we also drop the current generic
region stack and rewrite its constant values by calling
FinishGenericRedecl(), and open a new stack entry for the next part of
the qualified declaration.
If a generic declaration somehow has more dependent instruction than a
previous declaration, it would add new instructions to its eval block
with indices beyond the elements in the actual declaration eval block,
since we only store the block from the first declaration found. To avoid
this we plumb through that we are in a redeclaration, and terminate with
an ICE instead of adding new instructions to crash on later.
Fixes#5136.
