This PR is making two main changes to the Explorer and Toolchain:
- Replace the `is` keyword in `where SomeType is SomeInterface` with `impls`, so it is `where SomeType impls SomeInterface`
- Rewrite uses of the "impls" to something else to avoid, frequently "`impl` declarations" or "implementations", to avoid confusion with the `impls` keyword.

The strategy that we use for now to support template instantiation is to check the impl declaration as if it were a generic, but to defer all checking of the impl definition until we see a use in which all template parameters have arguments. At that point, we clone the impl definition and type-check the whole thing, with constant values set on the template parameters corresponding to the given arguments.
No caching of template instantiations is performed yet; each time we form a reference to a template instantiation, we instantiate it afresh. We also don't implement the name lookup rule from #949 yet; lookups during template instantiation look only in the actual type and not in the constraint.
Depends on #2699
The design of choice types expects the declaration of an alternative to match the usage: if an alternative is declared as `None`, then it should be used as `None` not `None()`, and if it is declared as `None()` then it should be used as `None()` not `None`. Update explorer to match.
Also clean up the handling of choice types and alternative values a little in general, by moving away from identifying choice types and alternatives as strings and towards identifying them symbolically.
Closes#2422
Add support for user-defined assignment, as well as compound assignment and increment, following the design direction in pending proposal #2511.
Some of this isn't fully testable yet: because explorer doesn't properly support `impl` specialization, the blanket `impl`s in the prelude prevent types from customizing assignment.
Allow explicit conversion from a tuple of `T1`, `T2`, ... to a tuple of `U1`, `U2`, ... if each element has an explicit conversion.
Also add a comment to existing `ImplicitAs` impl for tuples explaining its purpose.
Add a blanket `ImplicitAs` implementation to perform the conversions that explorer can perform as built-in conversions. This allows those conversions to be detected by constraints and to be used as part of other user-defined conversions. For now, a single monolithic conversion is exposed. I intend to split this up into multiple smaller conversion kinds for each kind of conversion in a follow-up change.

Also make minor updates to the skeletal design in
docs/design/name_lookup.md following #2113, as there are no longer any prelude names that are made available to unqualified name lookup by default.
Add `type` to the keyword list in
docs/design/lexical_conventions/words.md, following #2360.
Add checking that a type only satisfies a constraint if it satisfies all of that constraint's equality and rewrite constraints.
Enforce the rule that `=` must be used in impls when specifying associated constant values rather than `==`.
Turn off the pre-#2173 single-step equality behavior. This is getting somewhat ahead of the approved design, but it's a one-line change to restore the old behavior.
Fix `CARBON_CHECK` to handle top-level `,`s in its argument, such as may happen in template argument lists, as this change introduces such a check.
Implements basic support for rewrite constraints as proposed in #2173.
Support for associated constants and complex constraints in general is also made more robust: argument deduction now properly computes and substitutes witnesses, and interface declarations track a more correct description of the constraint that they introduce than the one we previously built.
* Multiplication and division have the same priority.
* A new builtin interface DivWith is added.
* In some tests expecting a compilation error (syntax error), the error
message now says it is expecting SLASH or binary *.
The most significant change here is that explorer now uses the chosen spelling
rather than the old `Bool` spelling. Also update a few documentation examples
and some skeletal design docs to use the chosen spelling.
Following #1191, add initial support for bitwise operators. Support for both
integer operations and for operator overloading via the interfaces specified in
#1191 is provided.

We don't have overload resolution, so I've simply added PrintInt for now. But it's really tempting to turn __intrinsic_print into a total kludge function.
* initial implementation of new and delete
* remove requirement for empty heap from trace.carbon
* more tests
* fixed substitution for generic function types
Support is added for all of the non-type expression contexts where we currently accept built-in conversions, such as reordering the fields in a struct.
