Richard Smith 181a592b8c Support for parsing expression patterns (#6977)
When parsing a pattern, if we encounter something that isn't pattern
syntax, try parsing as an expression instead. We only need one-token
lookahead to distinguish pattern syntax from expression syntax.

Track a precedence group through pattern parsing so that we can allow
different kinds of expressions in a top-level pattern (such as the
operand of `let`) and in a nested pattern (such as a subpattern of a
tuple pattern or within grouping parens). For example, we do not allow
`case if ...`, and for now I've chosen to also not allow logical or
relational operators at the top level of a pattern, so `case 1 + 1` is
OK, but `case 1 == 1` and `case true and false` require parentheses.
This decision should be ratified or revisited by a design proposal.

Very basic check support is also provided, only sufficient to form an
`ExprPattern` instruction and nothing beyond that. For now, all pattern
matching against an `ExprPattern` fails with a TODO error. To support
that, I've switched from calling `BeginSubpattern` in the parent handler
of a pattern and `EndSubpatternAs*` in the pattern handler itself to
calling both functions in parent handlers, with `EndSubpattern`
converting an expression into an expression pattern where needed.

Depends on #6976.

Geoff Romer 4a0cf6c1fb Track the start of a signature more accurately (#6760)
This change ensures that a function signature always starts with an
`IdentifierNameMaybeBeforeSignature` node (renamed from
`IdentifierNameBeforeParams`), even in the case of function declarations
like `fn F -> T` that have no parameter list. As a consequence, this
ensures that we push new entries onto `pattern_block_stack` and
`full_pattern_stack` when we start processing the function signature.

Richard Smith 41ed82e033 Add basic support for strings to core, check, and lower. (#5963)
Add a `Core.String` class to the prelude representing a string view, and
rename the `String` keyword to `str` and make it evaluate to
`Core.String`.

`Core.String` is represented as a pair of a pointer to a character
(actually, to the first character of a string, but we don't have a way
of modeling that yet) and a size (which should be pointer-width, but is
currently always a `u64` as we don't have a `usize` equivalent yet).
`Core.String` values are generated directly by the toolchain for string
literal expressions.

This follows the direction established at the recent summit, but the
design implemented here has not been through the proposal process yet.

Dana JansensandJon Ross-Perkins 4b0e2b03b6 Add the .Self name for the type expression of a compile time binding (#5937)
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.

David BlaikieandJon Ross-Perkins e6c1f0630a Add a newline after diagnostic output when testing (#4818)
This removes some churn when adding new diagnostic cases to test files
(where previous to this change the newly added newline would cause the
previous diagnostic CHECKs to be updated including changes to the line
number because the CHECK for the blank line meant an extra line between
CHECK and source line).

A few alternatives discussed here:

Geoff RomerandJon Ross-Perkins 4f10735751 Track params in the parser (#4777)
This change splits `NodeKind::IdentifierName` into separate node kinds
depending on whether the identifier is followed by parameters, and
similarly splits `NameQualifier` based on whether the qualifier has
parameters. This enables us to only push a pattern block when it's
actually needed, rather than "defensively" pushing one when it might be
needed.

Richard Smith 2e63da1a40 Move diagnostic kind name to the end of the diagnostic. (#4437)
Also surround it in square brackets rather than parentheses. This
matches the format used by Clang and GCC, and means diagnostics will
still match the `file:line:col: error: ` pattern used by some IDE tools.

Before:
```console
fail_builtins.carbon:11:11: error(AliasRequiresNameRef): alias initializer must be a name reference
```

After:
```console
fail_builtins.carbon:11:11: error: alias initializer must be a name reference [AliasRequiresNameRef]
```

Also tighten up test regex to only match on `STDERR` lines that list a
file name.

Jon Ross-Perkins 62c36eceda Support printing the diagnostic kind for verification. (#4425)
This is to help identify which diagnostics we're actually using.

Note that driver/testdata still has tests which don't pass this flag,

Jon Ross-PerkinsandRichard Smith e7aebbe581 Update basic diagnostic capitalization/punctuation (#4328)
This is a primarily automated change:

- Search & replace for capitalization
-
`(CARBON_DIAGNOSTIC\((?:\n\s+)?\w+,(?:\n\s+)?\s\w+,(?:\n\s+)?\s")([A-Z])`
    - `$1\L$2`
- Search & replace for period
-
`(CARBON_DIAGNOSTIC\((?:\n\s+)?\w+,(?:\n\s+)?\s\w+,(?:\n\s+)?\s"(?:[^)]|\n)+)\.("[,)])`
    - `$1$2`
- Limited search & replace for `ERROR: ` -> `error: ` in streamed things
- Leaving a TODO for command_line because there's more cleanup that can
be done there
- Modify diagnostic_consumer.cpp
    - ERROR -> error
    - WARNING -> warning

Jon Ross-Perkins 83413479d7 Move some of the test information to TIP lines (#4007)
This has is a nice-to-have for me. Frequently I want to run a specific
test, and end up digging through output to be able to copy-paste the run
line. This uses TIP lines to inject the command into the file when using
AUTOUPDATE.

Note, one of the reasons I want this is because "bazel test
//toolchain/testing:file_test --test_output=all" has been regularly
exceeding bazel's output limit for me (workaround is either opening the
output file or specifying an obscure output limit flag), making it a
little harder for me to get the commands. However, frequently I'm adding
a file and want to iterate on it, so that's really the use case I have
in mind here.

Jon Ross-Perkins b42612bcec Change tuple/paren expr parsing to use placeholders. (#3849)
I've been thinking about this since we decided to add placeholders in
the parse tree. This allows a clearer division of work in check
handling, where we were doing work for ExprOpenParen that's only
necessary for tuples (splitting/renaming handle_paren.cpp accordingly).

Jon Ross-Perkins b8ceb8dd8b Print a blank line after a diagnostic. (#3806)
The purpose of the newline is to make it clearer where a given
diagnostic begins and ends, particularly as the first message of a
diagnostic may not be the error.

This is a trivial code change, but ripples edits through test files.

2e97f27b8d Typed wrappers around parse tree nodes (#3534)
These are intended to allow the structure of a parse tree node to be
described more precisely in code, to support these use cases:

- Automated checking that the parse tree conforms to the expected
structure. (Added to `Tree::Verify`.)
- Easier reading and understanding of the structure of the parse tree by
toolchain developers. (See `parse/typed_nodes.h`.)
- Easier navigation of the parse tree, for example for tooling uses and
for use when forming diagnostics.

On this last point, an object representing the file may be inspecting
using `Tree::ExtractFile`, as in:
```
auto file = tree->ExtractFile();
for (AnyDeclId decl_id : file.decls) {
  // `decl_id` is convertible to a `NodeId`.
  if (std::optional<FunctionDecl> fn_decl =
      tree->ExtractAs<FunctionDecl>(decl_id)) {
    // fn_decl->params is a `TuplePatternId` (which extends `NodeId`)
    // that is guaranteed to reference a `TuplePattern`.
    std::optional<TuplePattern> params = tree->Extract(fn_decl->params);
    // `params` has a value unless there was an error in that node.
  } else if (auto class_def = tree->ExtractAs<ClassDefinition>(decl_id)) {
    // ...
  }
}
```

The `Extract...` functions collect the child nodes into the typed parse
node's fields (internally using a `Tree::SiblingIterator`) for easy
access. However, this is not as fast as directly observing the tree
structure using the postorder strategy being used by the check stage.

These functions rely on using struct reflection on the typed parse node
definitions from `parse/typed_nodes.h` to get the expected structure of
child nodes and then populate them.

Note that validating these in `Tree::Verify` adds significant cost to
it, and is currently included in the parsing stage. Without this change,
a 10 mloc test case of lex & parse takes 4.129 s ± 0.041 s. With this
change, it takes 5.768 s ± 0.036 s.

This builds upon and completes #3393.

Richard Smith 74d52738ff Support for let declarations. (#3257)
A `let` declaration is represented by a `bind_name` node in SemIR:

```carbon-semir
  %b: i32 = bind_name "b", %a
```

Because `Check` encounters the pattern before it sees the value, we
first create the `bind_name` node with an unset value and don't add it
to the block. Then, once we've seen and converted the initializer, we
update the `bind_name` to have the value and add it to the current
block, after the initializer code.
