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.
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.

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.
Add a `NameId` that is effectively just a wrapper around a `StringId`,
with
some additional predefined values for names that don't correspond to
strings, such as the name of `self` or the function's return slot.
