Instead of injecting code to declare an `operator new`, generate AST for
it directly. In order to use this, directly generate a `CXXNewExpr`
rather than asking Clang to build one.
This is less of a hack, and doesn't visibly leak an `operator new`
declaration that inline C++ code or template instantiations might see.
It also avoids generating a warning in C++26 and later that the
`constexpr` declaration of `operator new` is used but not defined.

Adds a flag `--optimize=<mode>` that specifies what to optimize for:
* `--optimize=none` turns off the optimizer as much as possible, but
still respects always_inline.
* `--optimize=debug` aims to be the equivalent of `-Og` / `-O1`, and
provides optimizations that don't affect the ability to debug the
program. This is the default.
* `--optimize=size` optimizes for the size of the produced program, and
aims to be the equivalent of `-Oz`.
* `--optimize=speed` optimizes for the execution time of the produced
program, and aims to be the equivalent of `-O3`.
Following the approach taken by Clang, the optimization level feeds into
both the configuration of the LLVM pass pipeline and the attributes
added to function definitions generated by the frontend.
Optimization is performed in a new phase, `optimize`, which runs between
`lower` and `codegen`.

Based on #5948. A couple of tricky parts:
* When generating the C++ side of the thunk, we are given a pointer to
the location to emplace the return value. The only mechanism C++
provides to perform this emplacement is using placement `operator new`,
which requires a library function in the `<new>` header. We handle this
by declaring that library function ourselves, and rely on Clang not
actually needing a definition for it (which the standard library owns).
* On the Carbon side of the thunk, we want to form an initializing
expression as the result of the call. We don't have a way of expressing
in SemIR that an initializing expression performs its initialization by
storing through a pointer, so this PR adds a new initializing
instruction, `InPlaceInit`, to model an initialization that's performed
opaquely in-place.
Use it to dump the AST that includes a generated C++ thunk.
Based on #5917.
Also added printing of the full actual text when check fails to make
debugging easier.
Changed line replacement to allow removing complete lines.
Part of #5514.
