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.
This adds a block for exported InstIds, rather than scanning the package
scope. This working down a path discussed last month, which we'll need
to add enclosing namespaces to the Inst in order to complete import of
something like `namespace NS; var NS.a;`
Exports could've been a separate `vector<InstId>` on `SemIR::File`, but
using an entry in `inst_blocks` felt more consistent.
Another incremental change to diagnostic formatting. I simply recurse
over all the tokens in the subtree of a parse node and construct a
`DiagnosticLocation` that covers all of the tokens.
I believe it's nicer for the user to be directed at the entire chunk of
source where the error is occurring rather then just pointing at the
bracketing/terminator tokens, but let me know if you all agree.
This creates a namespace for `package` scope.
It looks like names of class_decls in namespaces lead to an unexpected
instref. This is already true, as best as I can tell. I'm not sure if
there's a preferred approach to address that, so I've left a TODO for
now.
This removes the filename from the file-scoped block, and places it
above to make it clear where the full SemIR begins (with multifile,
providing a barrier between).
