These changes are aimed at improving code readability and
maintainability within the `StaticScope` class of the AST folder.
- **Optimized Print and PrintID Methods:**
Introduced a template function `PrintCommon` to handle common logic in
`Print` and `PrintID`. This change simplifies the class interface and
avoids repetition, enhancing code readability.
- **Simplified TryResolveHere Method:**
Streamlined the `TryResolveHere` method by simplifying the conditional
logic. The refactored code is more readable and easier to understand,
improving overall code quality.

Adds the following information about name resolution to the trace
output:
* Name resolution process
```
** resolving stmt | decl `<stmt | decl>` (<source_location>)
...
** finished resolving stmt | decl `<stmt | decl>` (<source_location>)
```
* When a name is added to the static scope
```
--- declared `<name>` as `<entity>` in `<scope>` (<source_location>)
```
* When a name is resolved
```
--- resolved `<name>` as `<result>` in `<scope>` (<source_location>)
```
* Marking a name declared/usable
```
--- marked `<name>` <usable | declared but not usable> in `<scope>`
```
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.

Instead of complaining that the name is not completely declared, say it's not
declared at all yet.

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.
`.Self` is modeled as a new kind of expression, `DotSelfExpression`. Name resolution associates each occurrence of a `DotSelfExpression` with a generic binding, much like for an `IdentifierExpression`.
Both `:!` bindings and `where` expressions bring `.Self` into scope. The tentative intent is that if there are multiple `.Self`s in scope and they refer to different bindings, the result of using a `.Self` expression is an ambiguity error, but that is not implemented in this patch. Instead, like for `IdentifierExpression`s, we find the innermost enclosing definition of `.Self`.
`.Foo` expressions are rewritten to `.Self.Foo`, but this isn't enough to make them do anything useful, because associated constants aren't supported in general yet.
