Remove the type canonicalization mechanism and instead rely on constant
canonicalization to deduplicate types.
Rename the `Canonicalize*Type` functions to reflect that they're no
longer performing canonicalization. Switch code that creates types due
to semantic checking, rather than due to source syntax, to directly
create type constants through evaluation rather than creating an
instruction and evaluating it to produce a separate constant
representation.
The mapping from `const (const T)` that was previously performed by type
canonicalization is now implemented in expression evaluation instead.
The value `<error>` is now treated as a constant value, with a special
property that an instruction involving `<error>` that could possibly be
constant evaluates to `<error>`. This helps avoid producing follow-on
errors when an error occurs as a subexpression of an expression, such as
a type, that is intended to be constant.
Rather than producing multiple constants with the same value, fold all
instances of a given constant to the same constant instruction.
A future PR will use this to replace the current type canonicalization
system.
This is accomplished by tracking an extra bit on the ID we store in the
constant values table, and propagating that from subexpressions to the
enclosing expression. This extra bit is not yet computed correctly for
types; that will be addressed in later PRs.

Form a side table with constant values for each instruction. Evaluation
is only supported for a few very simple kinds of instruction for now.
This is not observable outside of the SemIR output, because nothing
depends on expressions having a constant value phase yet.
Namespaces are copied, which means also adding their name to the
underlying instruction. It happened not to be done previously; the name
was only in name lookup.
Since the only import supported right now is the default import,
functionality is limited; in the future I'll need to deal with namespace
vs package conflicts.
Tests of namespace imports are under "namespace" -- I figured this would
be best for scaling as more instructions get support.
This also improves some debugging-related output that I was trying to
use while trying to build the support.

By adding an InstId to the NameScope, we can determine whether the
declaration is being added to a scoped entity (versus a namespace).
The choice of InstId on NameScope is chosen versus other solutions
because, for imports, we want to just have a list of InstIds to import
and, from those, get the containing namespaces for addition. Similar may
also be desirable for printing fully qualified names given a singular
InstId. That means an InstId must have a path to find enclosing name
scopes.
What we're looking at here is:
- NameScopeId knows its InstId. (done here)
- Inst knows the enclosing NameScopeId. (future work)
- To walk up enclosing scopes for an Inst:
1. Fetch the Inst.
2. Find its enclosing NameScopeId (which will be per-declaration due to
Function etc complexity).
3. Fetch the NameScope if not Package scope. (if Package scope, done)
4. Use the InstId on the NameScope to go back to step 1.
This builds out a little infrastructure for one name scope to `extend`
another. We'll need more refinement here to cover other cases, but this
should provide some foundation for that future work.
