Fixes link failures when referencing a symbol involving a fingerprint
from a different package.
Previously we included the `Namespace`'s `import_id` as part of its
fingerprint, which caused local and imported namespaces to get different
fingerprints. We now store the `import_id` on the `NameScope` instead of
on the `Namespace` inst to avoid this problem.
Also, when we reach a package-level `NameScopeId`, consistently
fingerprint it as a (package name, library name) pair. Previously the
fingerprinting depended on whether it was imported or not, as an
imported `NameScopeId` had a parent scope (the current package). We need
to include the library name here so that private entities with the same
name in different libraries have different fingerprints.

for the design doc.
This also removes the default value of the `result_type_inst_id`
parameter of `HandleAction`, moves it before the action in the parameter
list, and documents it. This solves two problems:
- The default made it easy to forget, leading to unnecessary
`TypeOfInst` instructions.
- When it was present, putting it after the fairly "bulky" action
argument tended to make the callsite harder to read.
- A function with a return declaration always has exactly one
`ReturnSlotPattern`, representing the whole return declaration (whereas
previously that was omitted for value and reference returns).
- The `ReturnSlotPattern` always has a subpattern with the same form.
`OutParamPattern` already plays that role for initializing forms, and
`TuplePattern` will play that role for tuple forms. This change
introduces `ValueReturnPattern` and `RefReturnPattern` to represent
value and reference return forms.
- As before, the `ReturnSlotPattern` has a corresponding `ReturnSlot`
that represents the output that is initialized by a `return` statement.
Its structure parallels the structure of the `ReturnSlotPattern`, so we
need `ValueReturn` and `RefReturn` insts that correspond to
`ValueReturnPattern` and `RefReturnPattern`.
This is a step toward supporting generic return forms, where the
`ReturnSlotPattern`'s subpattern may be an action: this change ensures
that evaluating the action for a specific form produces the same SemIR
as if the form were concrete to begin with. More speculatively, this
should simplify the implementation of `return` statements with compound
return forms.

This allows us to capture the location at which a type literal was used,
even in the cases where we don't otherwise need to create a new
instruction to represent the type such as for `char` or `str`.
The logic used to build the underlying type is now marked as desugaring.
For cases such as `iN`, this causes the call to `Core.Int` to no longer
be added as a dedicated IR instruction, and instead its constant value
is used directly as the value of the `type_literal`. This results in
this being on balance a reduction in the size of the IR.
This also fixes a crash in C++ interop when using a `char` literal as a
template argument. The crash was caused by the template argument not
having an associated location when mapping to a C++ location. See
changes to check/testdata/interop/cpp/template/type_param.carbon for an
example that used to crash before this change.
Update alias handling to allow an alias to point at any type literal,
reinstating support for aliases for type literals such as `bool` and
`i32` that had previously worked but stopped working when we
transitioned those types to being defined in the prelude. See changes to
toolchain/check/testdata/alias/builtins.carbon.
All the test changes other than the two mentioned above are mechanical
autoupdate changes switching to the new instruction.
Implementation of unused pattern bindings #2022, continued.
Whereas previous PR #6460 took care of parsing, and PR #6479 prepared
the stage by using _ in some test cases, this PR has the the actual
implementation, using a simple dataflow analysis.

The key changes are:
- Function output parameters are now prefixed with `out`, and more
consistently formatted as named parameters.
- Function and inst output arguments are now written as part of the inst
form, rather than as one of the inst arguments.
As a drive-by fix, this also changes `Temporary::storage_id` from
`DestInstId` to `InstId`, because it doesn't represent an output
parameter of the `Temporary` inst itself.
See the review of
[#6532](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6532) and
[this Discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/999638000126394370/1458268977020141589)
for additional background.
The main changes here are:
- Introducing `InitForm` and `RefForm` to represent initializing and
reference forms (the two return forms currently supported by the
parser).
- Introducing the `FormType` singleton inst to represent their type
(i.e. `Core.Form`).
- Emitting an inst representing a function's declared return form as
part of handling the function signature.
The return form inst is currently ignored. Subsequent PRs will expose it
in `SemIR::Function` and use it to determine the form of call
expressions.
