Diagnostic rendering was part of the data model: `Loc::FormatLocation`
and
`Loc::FormatSnippet` wrote plain text to a stream, so no capability,
color, or
terminal width could reach them.
A diagnostic is now one message with labels, contexts, and location
information
attached, and `Diagnostics::Renderer` draws it into a
`Terminal::Buffer`. The
design is in `toolchain/docs/diagnostics_rendering.md` (#7668),
authoring in
`toolchain/docs/diagnostics.md`.
Before:
```
example.carbon:6:3: error: 1 argument passed to function expecting 0 arguments
Run0(1);
^~~~~~~
example.carbon:3:1: note: calling function declared here
fn Run0() {}
^~~~~~~~~~~
```
After:
```
error: 1 argument passed to function expecting 0 arguments
╭─┤ example.carbon:6:3
┆
3 │ fn Run0() {}
· ─────┬─────
· ╰──┤ calling function declared here
┆
-> 6 │ Run0(1);
· ───────
╰────────────
```
`--no-diagnostic-snippets` gives a compact form, `example.carbon:6:3-9`.
File
tests use it; the rendering tests under `toolchain/diagnostics/testdata`
ask for
snippets.
C++ interop diagnostics are data now rather than text Clang drew:
`SemIR::ClangSourceLocId` names a `clang::SourceRange`, and a Clang
location is
marked as the point it names.
`StreamConsumer` moves to a `:renderer` target that `:emitter` does not
depend
on, keeping `common/terminal` out of `consumer.h`. Capabilities come
from the
file behind the error stream, so tests get plain ASCII.
`renderer_fuzzer` draws diagnostics built from fuzzer bytes with every
capability combination, since a shape the renderer doesn't expect must
never be
why the compiler dies while reporting a problem.
TODOs mark the follow-ups: line weights and crossing lines, wrapping
that keeps
a quoted type whole, and ordering diagnostics that share a byte offset.
Also: `IncorrectExtension`'s hint moves into its message, since its note
had no
location of its own, and `strip_noise` in `check_diagnostics.py` blanks
multi-line `#define`s instead of deleting them.

As described in proposal #4682, make `array(T, N)` be syntactic sugar
for the type `Core.Array` defined in the standard library. This provides
a home for impls that are specific to `Core.Array`.

Fix a bunch of cases where we use the same external name to mean
multiple different things in the same test. We've historically gotten
away with this, but under `--share-cpp-ast`, it becomes an error, at
least if the entity is either defined in, or used from, C++ code.

When a Carbon virtual function overrides a C++ virtual function, we need
to export it with the C++ signature in order for it to work as an
override. Instead of mapping the C++ signature into Carbon and then back
again, use the original C++ signature from the base class as the
signature exported to C++.
Also add documentation explaining how we use thunks in C++ interop,
including in this new virtual function handling logic.
For now, disable the use of array types as by-var paramters and by-init
return types when exporting Carbon functions to C++, as C++ does not
support raw arrays being passed or returned by value.
