This function hid the `Value::Print` function from the base class, and
provided different output. As far as I can tell, the only caller is the
implementation of `Value::Print`.
See arena.h for discussion of what canonicalization means in this
context. This is primarily intended to support implementing a memo table
of template instantiations to resolve#2951, but could be useful for
other purposes as well.
Additional changes:
- Pass `VTable` constructor parameters by pointer, to avoid the need to
define `operator==` and `hash_value` for it.
- Clean up the recurring pattern of allocating identical `NamedElement`s
on the stack and heap. Instead we always allocate it on the heap and
pass it by pointer.
- Add `Print()` and `Dump()` to `Bindings` as a debugging convenience.

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)
This fixes a bug where Explorer would not detect when:
- an implementation used a method to implement a class function in an interface
- an implementation used a class function to implement a method in an interface
- an implementation method used `addr self` when the interface method did not
- an interface method used `addr self` when the implementation method did not
at type checking time. This would then cause a crash at runtime.
Closes#2857

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
When a template has an argument that involves a generic parameter, we're supposed to delay instantiation until we know the concrete value, but explorer is not set up to do that yet, so for now we instead instantiate the template with the symbolic argument. When that happens, bring the constraints on the generic parameter into scope so they can be used inside the template instantiation.
This requires adding a new search over a value for the generic parameters that appear within it; a `VisitNestedValues` visitor is added to visit all the `Value`s nested with a value, and also convert an existing place where we were doing the same thing in a way that was incorrect (but harmlessly incorrect for now) to use it.
This is needed by #2881, which needs implementations of `ImplicitAs` for nested types when instantiating a builtin impl of `ImplicitAs` for an aggregate type.

adds trailing comma to single element tuple
example:
```carbon
package ExplorerTest api;
fn Main() -> i32
{
var a: (i32,) = (1, 2);
return 0;
}
```
change in error message:
```diff
-type error in initializer of variable: '(i32, i32)' is not implicitly convertible to '(i32)'
+type error in initializer of variable: '(i32, i32)' is not implicitly convertible to '(i32,)'
```
Removes `__continuation`, `__await`, and `__run`.
In part here, the discussion was that while the feature had been useful for validating the early explorer design, it's no longer needed for that role as the explorer is now quite robust. Continuations have been experimental and, at this point, don't have an owner pushing to a proposal.
The triggering factor is that, as we push to address fuzzer issues, I ran into a crash bug in this code; basically, `fn Main() -> i32 { __await; return 0; }`. When I mentioned this, the reaction seemed to trend towards removal of the feature.
Rename value categories to expression categories based on [Discord discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/753021843459538996/1092924035517665332) regarding naming and behavior.
>* let expression -> value expression
>* var expression -> reference expression
>* located expression -> initializing expression
>So:
>- "value expressions" produce values (with no associated location). "reference expressions" produce a location of an existing value. "initializing expressions" take a location and initialize it.
>- A let binding is initialized by a value expression, because lets represent values (with category conversions performed as needed, but if a conversion is performed from a different category of expression, the value of the object is pinned for the lifetime of the let).
>- A var binding is initialized by an initializing expression, without performing a copy (with category conversions performed as needed, calling a copy constructor if the initializer is a different expression category).
>- The & operator requires a reference expression, and it's an error to give it other kinds.
>- The left-hand side of . requires a value expression when calling a function with a non-addr receiver, and requires a reference expression when calling a function with an addr receiver (it's an error to give it a value expression, and for an initializing expression, a temporary is materialized).
Changes
* Rename "value category" to "expression category"
* Rename Var and Let value categories to Value, Reference, and Initializing expression
* Rename `lvalue` to `location` (most of the time)
This PR is making two main changes to the Explorer and Toolchain:
- Replace the `is` keyword in `where SomeType is SomeInterface` with `impls`, so it is `where SomeType impls SomeInterface`
- Rewrite uses of the "impls" to something else to avoid, frequently "`impl` declarations" or "implementations", to avoid confusion with the `impls` keyword.

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.
