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
The intent of this change is that instead of paths looking like `explorer/testdata/foo/bar.carbon` (repo-relative), they're now just `bar.carbon` (local). The consequence is that paths should be a bit more durable in various environments, and just paths should be shorter and easier to read.
The explorer's prelude is an exception to this since it comes from data, rather than being the test target. Due to the change in approaches, it needs the regex again.

I'm still leaving a handful of `lit` tests to test end-to-end binary execution. This is why testdata directories are split (`lit` tests next to the `explorer` binary, the `cc_test`s next to `ParseAndExecute`).
Adds a simple script to merge stdout/stderr and put on labels. This is hidden to the RUN line using lit.cfg.py.
This is my solution to addressing how errors printed by the toolchain break sorting of stdout output; just put stdout first. We could also have toggles for interleaving output or such, which might help test whether we do it properly.
This also moves some previous-distributed replacement logic into lit_autoupdate_base.py: I think having that adjacent to lit.cfg.py is probably the better choice, and it reduces duplication in toolchain scripts. It happens here because I need to change the resulting commands to include the merge.
On #2224 @zygoloid pointed out we needed --implicit-check-not to ensure we were correctly matching output. This is the standard way we're writing explorer tests, so I was looking at unifying our lit approaches.
This is one take on it, making more use of substitutions to bring various testing into alignment, as well as symlinks to avoid config skew (maybe I'll eventually figure out a better solution than symlinks).
Makes a couple small fixes in explorer to remove end-of-line whitespace on output.
