Adrien Leravat 8301258ef8 Explorer: support virtual class methods (#2462)
Features:
* Add `virtual` virtual override keyword for functions
* Support `virtual` class methods using dynamic dispatch

Changes:
* Add `vtable` in `NominalClassType`, 
* Add `NominalClassValue**` in class values pointing to  descendant-most class
* Resolve virtual methods during member lookup

Limitations:
* Does not include yet `impl`, `abstract` virtual override keywords, or the complete logic for virtual function declaration

Depends on #2460 
Relates to #1881 
Relates to #2493

Richard Smith 43283cb516 Add Value decomposition and use it to implement Substitute (#2389)
Add a generic mechanism to decompose a `Value` and rebuild it, and use that to implement `Substitute`'s recursive transformation of values instead of a hand-rolled decomposition. This means `Substitute` now covers all kinds of values, whereas previously it used to be unable to transform some values, and should be less work to add new kinds of value.

We can use the same mechanism for various other things: structural dumping of values, equality comparisons, and value instantiation in the interpreter would all benefit from this. But in this change I'm just switching `Substitute` to this as a first step.
