First step towards permitting declarations within namespaces. Supports only functions within namespaces for now, with no way to call those functions except from within other such functions. Unqualified lookups within a function in a namespace look in that namespace first.

Instead of complaining that the name is not completely declared, say it's not
declared at all yet.

This PR implements the `returned var` for the explorer.
- Enabled `returned var` and `return var` syntax in lexer and parser.
- Split `Return` statement into `ReturnVar` and `ReturnExpression` to distinguish the two types of returns.
- Added logic in name resolution, type checking and interpretation to process `returned var` definition and `ReturnVar` statement.
`.Self` is modeled as a new kind of expression, `DotSelfExpression`. Name resolution associates each occurrence of a `DotSelfExpression` with a generic binding, much like for an `IdentifierExpression`.
Both `:!` bindings and `where` expressions bring `.Self` into scope. The tentative intent is that if there are multiple `.Self`s in scope and they refer to different bindings, the result of using a `.Self` expression is an ambiguity error, but that is not implemented in this patch. Instead, like for `IdentifierExpression`s, we find the innermost enclosing definition of `.Self`.
`.Foo` expressions are rewritten to `.Self.Foo`, but this isn't enough to make them do anything useful, because associated constants aren't supported in general yet.
