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`.
What this does:
- Adds tracking where storage is allocated.
- Determines if that storage supports destruction and, if so, records
the `destroy` function for it.
- Calls any found `destroy` functions when going out-of-scope.
What this does not do:
- Precise scope tracking of temporaries. We currently don't define
temporary scopes, which would probably be the solution.
- Destruction for anything but a `class` with `fn destroy`, in an
implicit return. That excludes:
- Classes with members that need destruction, particularly in the
absence of `fn destroy`.
- Structs, tuples, and arrays.
- Explicit returns, break, continue, nested scopes.
Noting the exclusions in particular, I think those will need work to
support, but this should set the right framework.
The cleanup block concept stems from clang and trying to share code
across cleanups, from discussion with chandlerc. Note in this
implementation I try to find `destroy` functions early on: that's so
that, when destruction is present on multiple paths, particularly
non-shared paths, we only bind the `destroy` method once.
Implementation-wise, I'll note this adds a `has_cleanup` flag to
`TemporaryStorage` and `VarStorage`. There are several related options,
but this felt similar to other information we're trying to track on
instructions. My goal with this is to mitigate the chance of accidental
calls where the storage may not be tracked for destruction. Alternatives
I considered were to not add the flag (I was worried about heightened
risk of errors), or to just add a concept for the relevant `requires`
(which just felt inconsistent).
Cleanup logic ends up in control_flow in this change because I thought
it was a reasonably consistent place for the cleanup block concept and
its pretty direct control flow interactions.
`AddDefaultValue` doesn't quite capture the intended semantics; it
should typically be replaced with an actual value when dealing with
control flows. Trying to indicate the "assign later" with
`AddPlaceholder`, mirroring `AddPlaceholderInst`.
Shifting the `protected` functionality on `BlockValueStore` so that it's
not providing functions just for `InstBlockStore` to use. Also hoping
that seeing the comments next to the function name makes them easier to
understand, whereas `using` buries that a little.

This in particular uses free functions because it's likely to end up
more consistent with types (versus a wrapper object for InstStore).
Note, this is unlikely to have a performance impact, but if it does, we
can look into related approaches (and we've already discussed using
LTO).
Renames `PendingBlock::AddInst` to `PendingBlock::Add` because
`MakeElementAccessInst` expects the matching name to exist.
context.cpp is getting large, so I'm looking at a few ways to cut out
clusters of functions. This felt like a logical cluster of functions to
move to their own file.
Note this doesn't touch the implementation at all, beyond what's needed
to change from `Context` members to context args.
