This makes some changes to the formatter so that ImportRefUnused and
ImportRefUsed will both be labeled as "import_ref" with an "unused ->
used" argument change in textual IR, but is otherwise not changing
logic.
To avoid bouncing through `constant_values()` to determine whether a
type is symbolic or template, store the `ConstantId` on the `TypeInfo`
not just the `InstId`.
In addition to propagating the symbolic / template phase, this also
propagates whether a type contains an error, resulting in our no longer
producing types such as `<error>*` -- these now evaluate to simply
`<error>`. While this makes our types less precise after an error, it
also removes some follow-on diagnostics, so it seems to be an
improvement on the whole.
Do not create runtime name bindings for `FieldDecl`s even though they're
declared with `:`, so that we can still constant-evaluate references to
fields.
In array indexing, move the check for an out-of-bounds index into the
constant evaluation logic, so that we will also benefit from it when
constant evaluating a compile-time function.
In tuple indexing, require a template constant index instead of an
integer literal.
Also, form `addr_of error` instead of `addr_of operand` when `operand`
is not a reference expression, so that we don't try to constant-evaluate
a meaningless expression.
Also, expect a constant for an array bound rather than specifically an
integer literal. This allows constant evaluation results to be more
easily tested by inspecting array bounds.
The constant value we associate with an initializing representation is
the object representation that the initializing expression will store to
its destination.
Also include the type in the profile of an instruction. This is now
necessary for array values, which are represented as tuple_value
instructions with array type, to avoid instructions with different types
being merged by constant canonicalization.
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.
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 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.
