Move concrete type check for Variable Definition (Local variable) from interpreter to type checker using the `ExpectConcreteType` function created in #2748
These functions are dangerous, as they check whether conversions are possible without actually performing the conversions. In each case where they were used, explorer would crash in some cases if a user-defined conversion is required.
This change moves us more towards implicit conversions being handled by a regular function call on an interface and away from them being magical builtins. Unfortunately, this exposes a pre-existing bug that a call of the form `x.(ImplicitAs(T).Convert)()` compiles even if `x` only has an explicit conversion to `T`. That's worked around here for now, but will need a proper fix later.
This fixes some bugs in each, where the fixes had only been made on one
side of the switch or the other. Also don't forget to instantiate
deduced generic arguments in a call when we read them out of the AST.
Support for global variables is still missing; they're a bit more tricky because they use a pattern to introduce their name.
Prior to this change, explorer heavily relied on name comparisons to determine whether two declarations declare the same entity. Some of those instances are fixed in this PR, but more remain to be fixed, and some TODOs are added for some harder-to-fix instances.
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.

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.
Features:
* Add basic support for `impl` virtual methods (override virtual method)
* Error on invalid declaration for `impl` and `virtual`, covering simple use cases
* Add `abstract` fn parser-only support
Changes:
* Modify parser to handle new function specifiers, resolve conflicts
* Group `virtual_override` and `FN`, and group `impl_kind` and `IMPL` to avoid ambiguities with around `impl` token parsing
* Add new `VirtualOverride` enum for function declarations, and matching `virt_override() -> VirtualOverride` getter
* Update function declaration logic
Depends on #2462
Features:
* Add `virtual` virtual override keyword for functions
* Support `virtual` class methods using dynamic dispatch
Changes:
* Add `vtable` in `NominalClassType`,
* Add `NominalClassValue**` in class values pointing to descendant-most class
* Resolve virtual methods during member lookup
Limitations:
* Does not include yet `impl`, `abstract` virtual override keywords, or the complete logic for virtual function declaration
Depends on #2460
Relates to #1881
Relates to #2493
Addresses comments from this discussion: https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/2460#discussion_r1046444433
Features:
* Move subtyping logic from Interpreter to TypeChecker, exposing subtyping as a series of access to `.base`.
* Excludes function parameter conversion, which is still done in ::Convert due to parameters conversion being handled differently.
Changes:
* Add new `class BaseAccessExpression : public MemberAccessExpression`, allowing rewrites
* Handle `BaseAccessExpression` expression type in Interpreter
* Move subtyping logic to `TypeChecker::ImplicitlyConvert`
Relates to #1881
Features:
* Add basic support for `abstract` class
* Allow extending an abstract class
* Prevent direct instantiation of an abstract class
Changes:
* Check that class extensibility for `VariableDefinition` is not `Abstract`
* Add corresponding set of lit tests

- Add support for `.base` field in structs for [parent class initialization](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/design/classes.md#constructors)
- Disabling base class initialization without `.base`
- Support class constructors (`Create() -> Self`) for base classes
- Direct access to base class(es) attributes with `object.var` remains unaffected
Changes:
- Add `TypeChecker::FieldTypesWithBase` to help assessing if a struct with `base` fields can be converted to a class
- Add a new `base_type()` attribute+getter to `NominalClassDeclaration` to as a first step to allow resolving parametrized classes
- Add a new `base` attribute+getter to `NominalClassValue` that contains the base class `NominalClassValue`. It is currently used mainly to get and set members of a class object.
- Add `Interpreter::ConvertClassWithBase` to build `NominalClassValue` from a init struct, that contains `.base` fields with either `NominalClassValue` or `StructValue`
- Add `FindClassField` to find a field in a class or its base classes
- Remove superfluous `ClassDeclaration::base()` in favor of `ClassDeclaration::base_type()`
Limitations;
- Though some work is done in that direction, parametrized base class where time is not know at the declaration site are not supported. Namely the example below does not compile
```
base class A(T:! Type) {}
class B(T:! Type) extends A(T) {}
```
But this one is functional already
```
base class A(T:! Type) {}
class B extends A(i32) {}
```

In particular, this means that a type can implement `ImplicitAs(Type)` and have values of that type behave like types.
This implies that `()` and `{}` are no longer types. They are now values whose type is the result of converting `()` or `{}` to type `Type`, as has been discussed recently and seems to be the supported direction. This fixes various cases where these types were previously mishandled.
We don't seem to have any need for `TypeOf*Type` types, and having them introduces the temptation to use them during type-checking, which would lead to types having different behavior when their type-of-type is `Type` versus when it's a more precise type. Remove these types for now.
If we later decide that we want each type literal to have a unique type, as we do for value literals, we can introduce a single value kind for that rather than one for each kind of type.
No changes to `TypeOfMemberName`, `TypeOfParameterizedEntityName`, and `TypeOfMixinPseudoType`, which are placeholders, not real types.
There are lots of ways a declaration can be used before we have the information necessary to handle that use. Issue diagnostics for these.
Interleave declaration and type-checking of global declarations so that declaring a later declaration can depend on the results of type-checking an earlier one.
Incorporates tests added in #2266.
Fixes#1394, fixes#1395, fixes#1396.

Adds a simple script to merge stdout/stderr and put on labels. This is hidden to the RUN line using lit.cfg.py.
This is my solution to addressing how errors printed by the toolchain break sorting of stdout output; just put stdout first. We could also have toggles for interleaving output or such, which might help test whether we do it properly.
This also moves some previous-distributed replacement logic into lit_autoupdate_base.py: I think having that adjacent to lit.cfg.py is probably the better choice, and it reduces duplication in toolchain scripts. It happens here because I need to change the resulting commands to include the merge.
On #2224 @zygoloid pointed out we needed --implicit-check-not to ensure we were correctly matching output. This is the standard way we're writing explorer tests, so I was looking at unifying our lit approaches.
This is one take on it, making more use of substitutions to bring various testing into alignment, as well as symlinks to avoid config skew (maybe I'll eventually figure out a better solution than symlinks).
Makes a couple small fixes in explorer to remove end-of-line whitespace on output.
Provides a first implementation iteration towards class prefix and extension, along with user-friendly error regarding missing implementation for #1881
**Explorer behavior**
For class prefix `base` and `abstract`:
```
Class prefixes `base` and `abstract` are not supported yet
```
For extension with `extends`:
```
Class extension with `extends` is not supported yet
```
**Motivation**
* Provides user-friendly error for these unsupported features
* First implementation increment in supporting class prefix and extension.
Implement initial support for `A.(B)` syntax, per #989. Specifically, this supports:
* `object.(Type.member)` for instance members,
* `object.(Interface.member)` for instance and non-instance members,
* `object.(Type.(Interface.member))` for instance members,
* `Type.(Interface.member)` for non-instance members.
Three new AST nodes are introduced:
* `CompoundFieldAccessExpression` represents the `A.(B)` syntax.
* `MemberName` is a `Value` that represents the result of evaluating an expression such as `Type.member` or `Interface.member` or `Type.(Interface.member)`.
* `TypeOfMemberName` is the type of a `MemberName` value.
In order to handle members of classes and interfaces which have corresponding declarations and may need substitution into their types, and members of structs which don't have declarations but also don't need substitution, a class `Member` is introduced that can refer to either of these kinds of member.

- Makes `Self` a keyword
- Inside `class Foo { `... `}`, `Self` means `Foo`
- Inside `class Foo(T:! Type, U:! Type) {` ...` }`, `Self` means `Foo(T, U)`
- `impl as Bar` means `impl Self as Bar`
- Inside `external impl Foo as Bar {`...`}`, not in a scope already defining `Self`, `Self` means `Foo`
Implemented by introducing a new kind of declaration, a `SelfDeclaration`, that is automatically added to class and impl declarations.

Use FileCheck's `[[@LINE+n]]` mechanism to refer to the next line.
This is made awkward by a couple of things:
* We want to keep the `CHECK` lines in the original order.
* Errors are sometimes more than one line long.
The approach we use is to interleave the original lines and the check lines, putting each check line as early as possible subject to two rules:
1) Check lines never precede the 'AUTOUPDATE' line
2) Except when required by rule (1), a check line that refers to a source line by line number is never placed earlier than a source line that precedes that source line.
The actual `[[@LINE+n]]` annotations are created in a second pass after we've interleaved the lines so that we can work out the correct offsets.
