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
There are a few implicit conversions that are implemented by an `impl` of `ImplicitAs` that delegates to code in explorer:
- Converting between tuple types
- Converting from tuples of types to `type`
- Converting from tuples of values to an array type
- Converting between struct types
- Converting from a struct type to a class type
These conversions can all rely on performing more conversions for elements or subobjects, but previously those inner conversions could only be performed if they were built into explorer. This change instead uses the full implicit conversion machinery in explorer to perform these conversions, including searching for a user-defined `impl` of `ImplicitAs` when necessary.
For example, this permits a conversion from `{.a: T}` to `{.a: U}`, or from `(T, T)` to `(U, U)`, or from `(T, T)` to `[U; 2]` when there is a user-defined conversion from `T` to `U`.
Depends on #2878
Per #257, we should be treating unformedness as all-or-nothing, rather than being a per-field or per-array-element property. Previously we initialized an array with no explicit initializer as containing a sequence of uninitialized values, but that led to crashes when attempting to access those values, as the checks for reading an uninitialized value only expected values to be uninitialized at the top level.
Also, we had existing tests that attempt to store to an element of an uninitialized array. We now detect that and treat it as UB during evaluation, rather than crashing due to trying to perform field access into an uninitialized value.
Finally, many of these problems can be detected statically, but the resolve_unformed pass wasn't catching them because it missed a few expression and declaration forms. Support for those cases has been added too. This causes the pass to recurse more often, and in particular our existing recursion test started hitting a stack overflow after this, so resolve_unformed now uses `RunWithExtraStack`. In passing, remove the need to explicitly tell `RunWithExtraStack` the return type, and infer it as the return type of the callable instead.
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.

The strategy that we use for now to support template instantiation is to check the impl declaration as if it were a generic, but to defer all checking of the impl definition until we see a use in which all template parameters have arguments. At that point, we clone the impl definition and type-check the whole thing, with constant values set on the template parameters corresponding to the given arguments.
No caching of template instantiations is performed yet; each time we form a reference to a template instantiation, we instantiate it afresh. We also don't implement the name lookup rule from #949 yet; lookups during template instantiation look only in the actual type and not in the constraint.
Depends on #2699
The design of choice types expects the declaration of an alternative to match the usage: if an alternative is declared as `None`, then it should be used as `None` not `None()`, and if it is declared as `None()` then it should be used as `None()` not `None`. Update explorer to match.
Also clean up the handling of choice types and alternative values a little in general, by moving away from identifying choice types and alternatives as strings and towards identifying them symbolically.
Closes#2422
Add support for user-defined assignment, as well as compound assignment and increment, following the design direction in pending proposal #2511.
Some of this isn't fully testable yet: because explorer doesn't properly support `impl` specialization, the blanket `impl`s in the prelude prevent types from customizing assignment.
Allow explicit conversion from a tuple of `T1`, `T2`, ... to a tuple of `U1`, `U2`, ... if each element has an explicit conversion.
Also add a comment to existing `ImplicitAs` impl for tuples explaining its purpose.
Add a blanket `ImplicitAs` implementation to perform the conversions that explorer can perform as built-in conversions. This allows those conversions to be detected by constraints and to be used as part of other user-defined conversions. For now, a single monolithic conversion is exposed. I intend to split this up into multiple smaller conversion kinds for each kind of conversion in a follow-up change.

Also make minor updates to the skeletal design in
docs/design/name_lookup.md following #2113, as there are no longer any prelude names that are made available to unqualified name lookup by default.
Add `type` to the keyword list in
docs/design/lexical_conventions/words.md, following #2360.
Add checking that a type only satisfies a constraint if it satisfies all of that constraint's equality and rewrite constraints.
Enforce the rule that `=` must be used in impls when specifying associated constant values rather than `==`.
Turn off the pre-#2173 single-step equality behavior. This is getting somewhat ahead of the approved design, but it's a one-line change to restore the old behavior.
Fix `CARBON_CHECK` to handle top-level `,`s in its argument, such as may happen in template argument lists, as this change introduces such a check.
Implements basic support for rewrite constraints as proposed in #2173.
Support for associated constants and complex constraints in general is also made more robust: argument deduction now properly computes and substitutes witnesses, and interface declarations track a more correct description of the constraint that they introduce than the one we previously built.
* Multiplication and division have the same priority.
* A new builtin interface DivWith is added.
* In some tests expecting a compilation error (syntax error), the error
message now says it is expecting SLASH or binary *.
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.
Following #1191, add initial support for bitwise operators. Support for both
integer operations and for operator overloading via the interfaces specified in
#1191 is provided.

We don't have overload resolution, so I've simply added PrintInt for now. But it's really tempting to turn __intrinsic_print into a total kludge function.
* initial implementation of new and delete
* remove requirement for empty heap from trace.carbon
* more tests
* fixed substitution for generic function types
Support is added for all of the non-type expression contexts where we currently accept built-in conversions, such as reordering the fields in a struct.
