Allow interleaving of STDOUT and STDERR check lines. Put STDOUT lines
after the line they're attached to, and STDERR lines before. If no
STDOUT check line is attached to any line, then put them all at the end
of the file instead.
This is intended to better handle the case where stdout contains
unreplaced mentions of line numbers, and also reflects that stdout is
typically a consequence of the test rather than commentary on it, so
placing it after the test seems likely to read better.
The intent of this change is that instead of paths looking like `explorer/testdata/foo/bar.carbon` (repo-relative), they're now just `bar.carbon` (local). The consequence is that paths should be a bit more durable in various environments, and just paths should be shorter and easier to read.
The explorer's prelude is an exception to this since it comes from data, rather than being the test target. Due to the change in approaches, it needs the regex again.

I'm still leaving a handful of `lit` tests to test end-to-end binary execution. This is why testdata directories are split (`lit` tests next to the `explorer` binary, the `cc_test`s next to `ParseAndExecute`).
These functions are dangerous, as they check whether conversions are possible without actually performing the conversions. In each case where they were used, explorer would crash in some cases if a user-defined conversion is required.
This change moves us more towards implicit conversions being handled by a regular function call on an interface and away from them being magical builtins. Unfortunately, this exposes a pre-existing bug that a call of the form `x.(ImplicitAs(T).Convert)()` compiles even if `x` only has an explicit conversion to `T`. That's worked around here for now, but will need a proper fix later.
Adds a simple script to merge stdout/stderr and put on labels. This is hidden to the RUN line using lit.cfg.py.
This is my solution to addressing how errors printed by the toolchain break sorting of stdout output; just put stdout first. We could also have toggles for interleaving output or such, which might help test whether we do it properly.
This also moves some previous-distributed replacement logic into lit_autoupdate_base.py: I think having that adjacent to lit.cfg.py is probably the better choice, and it reduces duplication in toolchain scripts. It happens here because I need to change the resulting commands to include the merge.
On #2224 @zygoloid pointed out we needed --implicit-check-not to ensure we were correctly matching output. This is the standard way we're writing explorer tests, so I was looking at unifying our lit approaches.
This is one take on it, making more use of substitutions to bring various testing into alignment, as well as symlinks to avoid config skew (maybe I'll eventually figure out a better solution than symlinks).
Makes a couple small fixes in explorer to remove end-of-line whitespace on output.
