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.
Currently each interface has a `Self` facet internally that becomes a
binding to every entity inside the interface: associated constants,
functions, and require decls. Each of these has to be independently
generic as a result. This makes is challenging in extended name lookup
to move into an extended scope of an interface, as we have a specific
for the interface, but the names within require a different specific
that includes a `Self` facet value.
We generalize this relationship by adding a second generic to Interface,
called `generic_with_self`. When we want to work with entities inside
the interface, we move from the interface-without-specific to the
interface-with-self specific by adding a Self to the specific. This is
done independently of any particular entity inside the Interface, as
those entities are now all members of the interface-with-self generic.
Associated constants no longer need a generic of their own, as they do
not have separate generic bindings. Functions retain a generic, but if
the function has no generic arguments, it will have no bindings of its
own now.
Require decls retain a generic so that their specific can be
instantiated separately from the interface. Requiring the interface to
be complete does not require the types in a require decl to be complete
unless it is modified by `extend`. So we allow them to be completed
later by keeping them in a separate generic.
Named constraints look like interfaces and gain the additional inner
generic-with-self, with the same relationship to require decls.
This removes the need for name lookup to perform Substitution of a Self
facet into the extended scope instruction. Instead, the
`SpecificConstant` instruction inserted by a `require` decl is part of
the interface-with-self generic. When looking through a FacetType for
extended scopes, for each interface, we push the scope with the specific
for the interface-with-self. Then the constant value of the
`SpecificConstant` is correctly modified by the provided self
automatically through applying that specific.
They are not used for impl lookup or verifying anything yet, but now
they appear in the textual semir.

If it's just `TypeType` then the `BindSymbolicName` appears directly in
type positions, but if it is replaced with another facet value, then we
would need to insert a `FacetAccessType` around it. By giving it a
`FacetType` type, like other `BindSymbolicName`s we make it consistent
and avoid having to introduce extra instructions.
We add a virtual node (`CompileTimeBindingPatternStart`) as the first
child of `CompileTimeBindingPattern` which holds the identifier
underneath it, so that it is checked just before the type expression of
the `CompileTimeBindingPattern`. When we reach this virtual node during
check, we add `.Self` as a name in the current scope, and when we reach
`CompileTimeBindingPattern` we remove it from scope, which ensures it's
present during only the checking of the type expression for the compile
time pattern.
At the moment the `.Self` has a different type (it's a `TypeType`) than
other `.Self` in the facet type (which are a single `FacetType`), but
the intention is to immediately substitute it out of the facet type
entirely, replacing it with a reference to the compile time binding (a
`BindSymbolicName`) itself. A TODO has been added for this.

Change impls from `<interface>.impl` to `<self>.as.<interface>.impl`,
and *member* functions to `<parent scope>.<fn>` (non-member functions
exclude their parent scope). Stop special-casing builtin functions,
given the new naming scheme.
The purpose of this is to make it clearer when a member function is
being accessed and, if so, which member function. In particular, we
often access interface `Op` functions. The builtin function
special-casing was intended to help with that, but we still have lots of
`Op` functions. This particular approach should make the interactions
clearer.
This changes up queueing of block IDs a little because, in particular,
we need to process bodies of entities only after constants finish
processing. But, it should also result in less memory usage during
processing because it means we have less on the insts stack at any given
time, since we track a block rather than all instructions contained by
the block.
This switches from the `CollectNamesInBlock` approach for entities, to
instead traversing entities as they're encountered. For example, when
traversing constants, when a type is found, the entity will have its
block queued for processing.
This leads to a change in the traversal order, which affects
disambiguation done by numeric sequencing (since that's just showing the
traversal order).
This will allow for simpler "name based on name" logic. This is
something I plan to use for:
- impls: `<type>.as.<interface>.impl`
- functions: `<entity>.<member function>`
- Note an impl may be used as the entity for a bound function.
By naming the entities as they're encountered, I'll be able to rely on
the generated names rather than recalculating them.
To assist this, I'm also differentiating between the ambiguous and
disambiguated name. Otherwise, we could end up with things like
`<function>.<disambiguator>.<call>.<other disambiguator>`, where the
repeated disambiguator may not be necessary in order to get full
disambiguation. It's also a smaller delta from the current output.
Note, changing `Name` to a class felt appropriate given its shape. I was
also noticing that parts of its API were unused, and the class helps
detect unused private members.

For some of these, it's just replacing with min_prelude/none.carbon.
Some had min_preludes specified, and I'm generally switching those to
none.carbon as well. The one exception is the destroy.carbon test, which
I noticed because of #5678
People seemed receptive [on
#toolchain](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/655578254970716160/1379196447827689553),
so proceeding.
For the two name conflicts, I've set it up so that there's a
"foo.carbon" and "foo_with_prelude.carbon", to indicate that the
no-prelude approach is preferred (with a shorter name).
Note min_prelude will require a little more work/thought, I want to
avoid adding `--custom-core` etc.
