See arena.h for discussion of what canonicalization means in this
context. This is primarily intended to support implementing a memo table
of template instantiations to resolve#2951, but could be useful for
other purposes as well.
Additional changes:
- Pass `VTable` constructor parameters by pointer, to avoid the need to
define `operator==` and `hash_value` for it.
- Clean up the recurring pattern of allocating identical `NamedElement`s
on the stack and heap. Instead we always allocate it on the heap and
pass it by pointer.
- Add `Print()` and `Dump()` to `Bindings` as a debugging convenience.

Prevent copies when initializing value expression from reference
expression. This is based on
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/2006, which
introduces expression categories, and how it is possible to convert
to/from those different categories. Continuation of
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/2907
## Functional changes
* Initializing a value expression from a reference expression takes its
value without a copy
* Reading from the value expression causes an error if the value changed
from the time it was initialized
* In this situation, prevents a copy both for variable definitions, and
call parameter bindings
## Main implementation changes
* Add new `ExpressionCategoryAction`, which evaluates an expression and
returns an `ExpressionValue` containing its category and address (if
any), in addition to the resulting `Value*`
* `ExpressionAction`s now invokes `ExpressionCategoryAction` and unwraps
the returned `ExpressionValue`
* `RuntimeScope::BindAndPin` method, and corresponding when attempting
to read a `value_node`.
## Next work
* Avoid unnecessary copies from value expression to value expression,
after ensuring that even value expression temporaries are registered for
destruction (https://github.com/Pixep/carbon-lang/pull/9)
Removes `__continuation`, `__await`, and `__run`.
In part here, the discussion was that while the feature had been useful for validating the early explorer design, it's no longer needed for that role as the explorer is now quite robust. Continuations have been experimental and, at this point, don't have an owner pushing to a proposal.
The triggering factor is that, as we push to address fuzzer issues, I ran into a crash bug in this code; basically, `fn Main() -> i32 { __await; return 0; }`. When I mentioned this, the reaction seemed to trend towards removal of the feature.
This is intended to be used for template instantiation, but for now takes no stance as to what it's cloning.
This is tested by parsing and cloning all of our test files, and checking that the result of converting each AST to proto is the same as the result of cloning and then converting each AST to proto.
This is in preparation for template instantiation being triggered during substitution, and being able to fail.
Fix rule-of-three violation (missing assignment operator) in `Error` that got in the way of using it to hold an error temporarily in a failed transformation.
These are used by the AST in lots of ways, and this resolves various layering issues.
This means that `AllocationId` also lives in ast/, but is managed by interpreter/. A better layering here would be desirable, but this seems good enough for the time being.
