This makes duplicate and previous definition handling match. While we
may want to make both point more fine-grained at the name, the necessary
logic seems likely to be equivalent.
Note, I'm looking at this mainly due to duplicate names in imports,
where it's especially helpful to take an instruction instead of a parse
node. We'll eventually want to handle parse nodes from other imports
better, and I think this is the way it would most likely work.
Instructions created by splices during conversion are now evaluated, as
are instructions created in cases where we first create a placeholder
instruction and later replace it by a different instruction.
This also removes the ability to set a parse node and instruction
independently after creating an `InstId`, which could lead to them
accidentally not matching.
The parse nodes are still tracked as part of the same value store
interface in order to ensure parity, but they're split out from Inst
itself in order to reduce the size of Inst -- the expectation is that
they don't need to be passed around quite as much.
This change doesn't actually reduce the passing very much, although
there are hints of it: AddInstAndPush doesn't typically need a separate
parse node from the one on the Inst itself, for example. In a couple
spots I changed code to rely a little more on the InstId until the
ParseNode is needed, but it's very low hanging fruit where done. I think
convert could do more to not eagerly fetch the parse node before its
use, but more cleanup felt it would be easier to handle separately. I'm
currently viewing this as making such cleanup _possible_ rather than
executing on it up-front.
But also, I want to make sure there's a consensus to head in this
direction before pulling the trigger. We speculated that this would
result in the parse node being passed around less, and I do think that's
the case, although it's a bit fuzzy in the change.

This change adds a `BindSymbolicName` instruction for generic bindings,
paralleling the existing `BindName`. A mechanism is also added to allow
both kinds of binding to be accessed uniformly, for convenience in the
case where the two different kinds of binding are treated the same.
Generic bindings of type `type` are allowed to be used as types,
although no operations are provided for such types. For now lowering
treats these types as empty structs, which seems like a reasonable
lowering for non-monomorphized unconstrained types.
This is a step towards adding enclosing scopes for imports. It creates
an indirection for all bind names.
We discussed specializing for bindings that are in function scope (i.e.,
not a useful enclosing scope for imports or diagnostics). However, the
thought is to go ahead with this singular approach for now, and only
change structure if it's a performance issues so that we have
incrementally fewer instructions to handle.
Goal is to increase type safety, though more work needs to be done (see
added TODOs).
Note that, after this change, check handlers corresponding to deleted
parse node kinds will no longer compile.

1. In general, `semantics_ir` -> `sem_ir`, to match the directory name.
2. For the list of `ValueStore`-related accessors on `SemIR::File`, add
them to `check`'s `Context` object, shortening access.
Finishing what #3316 started, add more bespoke ValueStore-like
structures to File. With this, the things which previously had somewhat
boilerplate Add/Get functions are now all on side classes, giving a
uniform style of API for calling.
Note, I was on the fence about making things public on ValueStore. If
it's preferred that I make some things there protected I certainly can,
there's just a trade-off that may mean more distinct child/wrapper
types.
Replace `SemIR::Node::GetAsFoo` and `SemIR::Node::Foo::Make` with
`SemIR::Foo` class that represents a particular kind of node, with named
fields.
Rename `SemIR::IntegerLiteral` and `SemIR::RealLiteral` to
`IntegerValue` / `RealValue` to better reflect their purpose and avoid a
name collision with the corresponding `SemIR` node kinds.
Remove `NodeKind::Invalid` and the `SemIR::Node` default constructor
entirely, as they were not used for anything.
A `let` declaration is represented by a `bind_name` node in SemIR:
```carbon-semir
%b: i32 = bind_name "b", %a
```
Because `Check` encounters the pattern before it sees the value, we
first create the `bind_name` node with an unset value and don't add it
to the block. Then, once we've seen and converted the initializer, we
update the `bind_name` to have the value and add it to the current
block, after the initializer code.
