Rename value categories to expression categories based on [Discord discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/753021843459538996/1092924035517665332) regarding naming and behavior.
>* let expression -> value expression
>* var expression -> reference expression
>* located expression -> initializing expression
>So:
>- "value expressions" produce values (with no associated location). "reference expressions" produce a location of an existing value. "initializing expressions" take a location and initialize it.
>- A let binding is initialized by a value expression, because lets represent values (with category conversions performed as needed, but if a conversion is performed from a different category of expression, the value of the object is pinned for the lifetime of the let).
>- A var binding is initialized by an initializing expression, without performing a copy (with category conversions performed as needed, calling a copy constructor if the initializer is a different expression category).
>- The & operator requires a reference expression, and it's an error to give it other kinds.
>- The left-hand side of . requires a value expression when calling a function with a non-addr receiver, and requires a reference expression when calling a function with an addr receiver (it's an error to give it a value expression, and for an initializing expression, a temporary is materialized).
Changes
* Rename "value category" to "expression category"
* Rename Var and Let value categories to Value, Reference, and Initializing expression
* Rename `lvalue` to `location` (most of the time)
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.
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.
* 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 *.
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.

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.
- 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.
