Building on #3636 which handles the general import case, add special
casing for namespaces. Namespaces can be combined cross-IR, so it's a
little more complex.
The implementation adds import_id to the Namespace instruction as a
reference to find the original using the normal structure. This is
achieved by moving the name_id to NameScope to free up space.

I considered a few alternatives...
I considered adding import_id to NameScope, but:
1. It's more consistent with things such as Function or Class that
provide name_id on the info object rather than the instruction.
2. I thought it more likely that there would be more NameScope cases
that might want a name_id rather than the import_id, since ImportRef
will typically be used.
I considered putting the import source (cross-ref IR id + inst id) on
the NameScope versus a separate ImportRef, which seems like the
strongest argument towards the NameScope approach because it removes an
instruction. That just felt inconsistent though, and the overhead of
instruction-per-imported-namespace should be low (theoretically few
namespaces should be used). Plus I feel a bit odd adding two
generally-unused ids to NameScope.
A specialized Namespace structure could also have been created to store
the import_id, but that would add an indirection to the NameScope.
The constant value we associate with an initializing representation is
the object representation that the initializing expression will store to
its destination.
Also include the type in the profile of an instruction. This is now
necessary for array values, which are represented as tuple_value
instructions with array type, to avoid instructions with different types
being merged by constant canonicalization.
