As part of this, move functions that seem reasonable to make out-of-line
to a separate `_impl.h` header file that is only included where the
explicit instantiation _definition_ is provided.
By using explicit instantiation we can make these templates behave more
like non-template classes in terms of supporting out-of-line definitions
that don't need to be compiled by every translation unit. The set of
eventual instantiations here is fundamentally known, and there tend to
be headers that define a canonical "leaf" type where it makes sense to
trigger the explicit instantiation.
Where we already had a `.cpp` file to put the explicit instantiation
definition, use it. But in some places we didn't have such a `.cpp` file
so this PR adds those.
This also requires that we have precise constraints on APIs that _can't_
be instantiated for specific argument types, as now we don't do this
lazily.
Combined, this appears to reduce the sum of object file sizes in the
`check` directory by almost 40% (122mb -> 74mb) in my measurement.
My actual goal was to improve compile times, but so far I don't have a
great methodology for measuring these... But the object file size
reduction seems to confirm this is a net win and likely represents a
non-trivial improvement in compile time.

Previously, we picked a single Carbon parameter pattern for each C++
parameter pattern. This doesn't work well in cases where the Carbon
semantics and the C++ semantics are not perfectly aligned. In
particular, when a parameter is passed by value in C++, that might mean
either pass-by-move (which in Carbon would best be modeled by a `var`
pattern, as no other form of parameter would perform a move) or
pass-by-copy (which in Carbon would best be modeled by a value
parameter, as a `var` parameter would force an extra copy).
After this change, we compute a passing mode for each parameter based on
the implicit conversion sequence from the argument to the parameter as
determined by C++ overload resolution, and use that to determine the
Carbon pattern corresponding to each C++ parameter. This results in
potentially generating multiple different thunks for the same C++
function if it's called in different ways, but we already did that to
handle default arguments and list-initialization. The passing modes are
included in the thunk mangling.
Add a new value store for clang decl signatures, which capture the
information about parameter passing mode as well as the other existing
information about different ways that a C++ function might be imported
to Carbon.
Most of the rules for computing passing modes are the same as before:
const references use pass by value, non-const lvalue references use
pass-by-ref, non-const rvalue references use pass-by-var. But for C++
non-reference parameters, pick between pass-by-value and pass-by-var
based on whether the implicit conversion sequence was effectively
performing a copy. Prefer pass-by-value if either would work and they'd
do the same thing. We still use pass-by-value for const references, even
when the argument is an lvalue and we could pass a reference; we may
want to change this in future.
For virtual functions, we try to pick a worst-case passing mode, as we
can only pick a single signature for what goes in the vtable. Calls to
virtual functions will still use a thunk to C++, allowing variance in
the calling convention at call sites. We don't allow variance in the
overriders as we don't implement support for thunks for virtual
functions yet. We currently use pass-by-value for const reference
parameters here, but that should probably change at some point.

When any field of a Carbon class is access from C++ for the first time,
all fields are exported as `clang::FieldDecl`s (this is necessary
because clang fields have an internal index that is initialized on first
use).
`ClangDeclStore` now provides bidirectional mapping. This allows looking
up a `ClangDeclId` by `InstId`, so when Carbon class fields are exported
they can be looked up that way.
The general strategy here is to import the constructor with a signature
that directly matches the argument. The intent is that the imported
function will eventually be usable directly as the `ImplicitAs.Convert`
function in a generated `impl`.
For initialization from a tuple, for example `(1, 2)`, we import the
selected constructor with a signature that takes a tuple pattern:
`fn Class.Class((a: i32, b: i32)) -> Class;`
In order to support that, this PR also adds support in general for tuple
patterns in function signatures. It turns out the implementation was
already very close to allowing this.

The general strategy here is to force use of a thunk when we want to use
default arguments, and have Clang generate uses of the default arguments
on its side of the thunk.
To support this, change the key type used in `clang_decls` from being
just a `Decl*` to being a pair of `Decl*` and number of parameters in
the case of function decls. Import distinct `SemIR::Function`s for each
number of parameters that's used, and corresponding distinct thunks.

This doesn't support actually passing the value of the struct, which is
planned to be implemented using thunks.
`ClangDeclId` value is now `ClangDecl` which includes the mapped Carbon
instruction in addition to the Clang declaration. This allows finding
the Carbon instruction for a given Clang declaration, which is necessary
for mapping a Clang struct parameter type to the Carbon class without
doing name lookup. We don't take the instruction as part of the hash
key, as discussed in
[Discord](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/768530752592805919/1380575881050718469).
To map the type, we also need to map namespaces. To avoid recursion for
inner namespaces, we use a vector.
Note that the first commit just changes the order of functions in the
file to make review easier.
C++ Interop Demo (that shows missing behavior):
```c++
// hello_world.h
struct S {
S(const S&) { x = 1; }
int x;
};
void hello_world(S s);
```
```c++
// hello_world.cpp
#include "hello_world.h"
#include <cstdio>
void hello_world2(S s) { printf("hello_world2: %d\n", s.x); }
void hello_world(S s) {
printf("hello_world: %d\n", s.x);
hello_world2(s);
}
```
```carbon
// main.carbon
library "Main";
import Cpp library "hello_world.h";
fn Run() -> i32 {
var s : Cpp.S;
Cpp.hello_world(s);
return 0;
}
```
```shell
$ clang -c hello_world.cpp
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon link hello_world.o main.o --output=demo
$ ./demo
hello_world: -1108224096
hello_world2: 1
