We frequently want to operate on singletons. Per discussion, drop
`Singleton` to make the code shorter.
This started off as wanting to write `inst_id.is_error()`, but the
dependency relationship between ids.h and singleton_insts.h would
require some kind of delayed evaluation to allow the implementation to
remain in headers (which I suspect is helpful to have for inlining). I
could have added something like `IsErrorInst`, forward declared in ids.h
and defined in singleton_insts.h (which would always be included by
typed_insts.h), but the template approach felt like a decent balance
between (a) removing the boilerplate `::SingletonInstId`, (b)
understandability, (c) still visually mirroring if we immediately return
a singleton, and (d) flexibility for more than just `ErrorInst`. But TBH
I'd probably still have written `is_error()` if it didn't require
addressing the cross-header cycle.
Then I tried `SemIR::InstId::Is<SemIR::ErrorInst>`, which generally
worked with types but generated the complaint that it didn't shorten
*all* singleton uses. So pulling back on `::Is`, and instead just
dropping `Singleton`.
After #5280 there are a few more typed instructions that have an `InstId
type_inst_id` that always holds a type value. These are converted to
`TypeInstId` to encode this fact in the type system. The
`ConvertAggregateElement()` function in convert.cpp is now able to
receive `TypeInstId` for a couple arguments as well.
Additionally, the `type_inst_id` field of `StructTypeField` is made into
a `TypeInstId`.
The `TupleType::elements_id` is renamed to `TupleType::type_elements_id`
to try record the fact that it's an InstBlock of type value
instructions. We don't introduce a TypeInstBlockId at this time, but it
might be nice to make blocks of TypeInstIds in the future.
To assist in working with a block of InstId that are type values, two
additional helpers are added to the TypeStore:
- GetBlockAsTypeInstIds which turns an `ArrayRef<InstId>` into a range
of `TypeInstId`
- GetBlockAsTypeIds which turns an `ArrayRef<InstId>` into a range of
`TypeId`
We use these helpers in places that iterate over the
`TupleType::type_elements_id`.
In preparation for shifting from `TypeId`s potentially representing
attached types to always representing unattached types, using
[terminology suggested on

This change causes us to track slightly more type spelling information
through SemIR.
One change that has significant impact on the SemIR output is that we
now build a `struct_type` instruction in each class representing the
types of the fields, including the spelling used for those types. This
is now no longer always identical to the corresponding canonical
`struct_type` for the object representation, so it's built separately
and owned by the class.
Also remove `TypeBlock` support entirely, as its only use was
representing `TupleType`s, which now use an `InstBlock`.
Use it to stringify associated constant values in diagnostics. In
passing, add missing support for stringifying bool literals. Note that
there are some cases that it doesn't stringify properly, but that's not
new here; such cases could already be observed when stringifying generic
arguments.
