A few changes:
- Merge content from the `primitive_types.md` design doc into the overall design `README.md` since there was so much overlap and no need for two copies.
- Consistently spell integer types `Carbon.Int(N)` and `Carbon.UInt(N)`, including the `Carbon.` prefix and avoiding `Unsigned(N)`.
- Consistently use a comprehensive set of floating-point types.
- Incorporates #2015 into the design docs.
A number of smaller changes grouped together in one proposal:
- Make `Self` a keyword.
- Clarify that `Self` refers to the current type in a base class and in impl declarations.
- Clarify when `.Self` is legal, and what type it has.
- Also specify that `where` is not an associative operator.
Previous overview is changed to an introduction that includes a modified first example, and adding a brief tour of Carbon in the form of an explanation of the features demonstrated in that example. Also update to reflect that we expect `Print` to be available in some package imported by default, which we are currently calling `Carbon`.

Also references were added to clarify that some features are not provisional.

The most significant change here is that explorer now uses the chosen spelling
rather than the old `Bool` spelling. Also update a few documentation examples
and some skeletal design docs to use the chosen spelling.
The original sentence was grammatically unsound, specified the three options of copy, move or pointer binding in parenthesis and some words around it.

The previous implementation model involved the caller of a function knowing what impls the function will need. With the addition of blanket impls and specialization to the design, that is in general no longer possible. Instead the caller provides a type which is used as a key to look up the impl, which is expected to occur during monomorphization, though we allow the compiler to employ other strategies when the set of impls is predictable.

Fix `-` -> `+` in `Distance`. Typo noticed by gingerBill in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_8lV0nwsc4 .
Also update factory function names `Create` -> `Make`, to reflect latest thinking.
This follows #1274 , #1325 , #1328 , #1336 , and #1347 . This has miscellaneous changes to the design overview without a particular focus.
Also adds some missing keywords to our list of keywords.

This follows #1274 and #1325 and fills in the "safety" section. It only covers our approach in general terms.

This follows #1274 . It mainly fills in the "generics" section, with smaller updates to other section.
