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)
Add partial support for initializing expressions for variable declaration. 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.
## Functional changes
* Initializing expressions initialize directly the provided storage when used to initialize a variable.
* Allows initializing expressions to avoid a copy when using `[var|let] name: type = call_expression(...)` by initializing `name` in-place.
* Support `returned var: ...` and `return <expr>`
* Support nested initializing expressions
## Main implementation changes
* Updated PatternMatch logic to handle expression categories
* Updated `VariableDefinition` interpreter statement to allocate and pass a location to initializing expressions
* Update statement actions to allow passing an allocation, used by return expr or returned var
* Modified the RuntimeScope API to be one step closer to the memory model we want to have
* Remove `GetAllocationId` and older `Bind` which don't apply
* New set of tests to highlight those different situations
* Added a new intrinsic to print the allocation stack (and make sure we behave correctly, beyond visible side effects)
## Next work
* Dedicated `Action` to retrieve expression category information in the interpreter (https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/2927)
* Avoid copies when initializing value expression from reference expression and prevent mutations for the duration of the "pinning" (https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/2927)
* Avoid unnecessary copies from value expression to value expression, after ensuring that even value expression temporaries are registered for destruction.
* Avoid unnecessary copies when binding function arguments
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.
This PR includes the following changes:
* Added destruction process for tuples
* Fix: In the current version only the last member of a object can be destroyed
* Fix: In the current version, the destructor of the object is called after each method call
I hope it is useful
