This also makes the filename a reference to the buffer since the line
seems better to have as a reference (versus copying a string per error).
Most tests now have different line deltas due to the extra output, but
the actual errors should overall stay the same.
Some of the error locations look like they could be improved, but this
change is only making it clear where they were before.
This handles namespacing of functions. Parsing and semantics are changed
significantly, while lowering works without changes. Variables can't be
namespaced yet because they're dealing with patterns, and I didn't dig
through that code.
Most of the logic is done through the new name declaration stack, which
is necessary because semantics isn't quite sure where the declaration
name ends. It'd be complex for parsing to send a signal about this,
probably involving node variants and rewrites of the tree, and this
solution seems to work well. Unfortunately this means a new stack, but
that may be inevitable due to the extra information needing to be
tracked.
Note this doesn't deal with scoped lookups of non-namespace things,
which we'll need for generics. That'll probably involve pushing resolved
scopes onto a stack (or maybe just setting a singleton value?) to affect
contextual name lookup. But, I think the basics are there to make it
work when we can test the behavior.
This renames "designator expression" to "qualified expression" and adds
"qualified declaration" in order to use terminology more consistent with
C++.
Namespaces will probably need to be considered for name mangling down
the line, but this still uses the basic name.
This PR renames parse nodes on a Name/NameExpression taxonomy. NameExpressions occur in a name context. The difference is that in non-expression contexts it's useful to return the identifier / string ID for adding to name lookup, whereas in expression contexts it's useful to return the resolved node ID for consistency with other expressions.
In the code, I do note SelfValueName is returned in the expression context: I'd expect this to change, as `self` in `[self: Self]` versus `self.Foo()` will probably be best handled similarly to the above. That means that, in the proposed taxonomy, both `SelfValueName` and `SelfValueNameExpression` will exist in order to assist semantics.

This is just a simplification: I think these different forms are getting in the way more than they're helping, particularly as I was looking into namespace functionality. The handling in semantics can be identical, providing a more uniform behavior.
The intent of this change is that instead of paths looking like `explorer/testdata/foo/bar.carbon` (repo-relative), they're now just `bar.carbon` (local). The consequence is that paths should be a bit more durable in various environments, and just paths should be shorter and easier to read.
The explorer's prelude is an exception to this since it comes from data, rather than being the test target. Due to the change in approaches, it needs the regex again.
Uses #2829
This builds on #2814 by adding the test framework to the toolchain. On Linux, this is 7s -> 4s for me. #2811 has more detailed timing for the explorer, which also had more dramatic changes because it's about 3x more tests run in 2x as many ways (6x total).

- Finishes remaining "todo" parse nodes.
- Improving error recovery for invalid designators and structs, so that the parse tree still looks similar to a valid parse tree.
- Call expressions now have the thing being called as a child (of the start) instead of a sibling.
- Use of Start is replacing use of End in several parse nodes, like structs and call expressions.
- Adjusting documentation of parse node structures in an attempt to make it more consistent and understandable.
- The current state for interfaces and if/else is mostly being documented, not altered.
This changes `return`, `break`, and `continue` to treat the keyword as the "start" and semicolon as the "parent", essentially bracketing the keyword.
Pragmatically this is focusing on making `return` work with only one ParseNodeKind: because `return` and `;` now bracket the expression, we can tightly determine whether the `return` has arguments without looking at subtree size. However, it's possible that `break` and `continue` may in the future take some kind of label as an argument, so the consistency seems beneficial there too.
Note this eliminates the StatementEnd ParseNodeKind, as it's obsolete with this change.
The ParseTree comments say that preorder is "easier to visualize and read". The problem is, both the ParseTree and Semantics need to operate on the postorder traversal: the ParseTree during construction, and the Semantics during processing. As a consequence, understanding the postorder traversal is important, but it's also very hard to decipher when presented preorder. This PR provides a way to see the postorder, with helpful indents to show subtrees.
This retains the preorder printing as an option for people who prefer that. I'm pretty sure it'll be easier to debug tests if we can see the postorder, so I'm making that the default.

In summary - some of the changes here are focused on producing the same test results for SemanticsIR, but I think the next step will be to change the SemanticsIR structure to reduce how much is added to the traversal stack.
Switching semantics to a postorder traversal is intended to be more efficient. The traversal stack is to eliminate risk of recursion limits within the semantic analysis that could come from layered code structures. However, we need to start considering the implications for type-checking and what the ParseTree looks like, as well as copying of data here.
As we start thinking about type-checking in SemanticsIR, it's helpful for a function to know its own signature in order to perform lookup recursive calls. The challenge in the post-order walk without this change is it doesn't know it's in a function definition (or similar) until it reaches the FunctionDeclaration; this restructures so that either:
1. For a declaration, the signature is a child of FunctionDeclaration(";")
2. For a definition, the signature is a child of FunctionDefinitionStart("{") which pairs with FunctionDefinition("}"), replacing CodeBlock.
This similarly reorients CodeBlock to be CodeBlockStart("{") as the first child of CodeBlock("}"). I'm not doing that with ParameterList here just because it affects a bit more, and felt like it could be delayed.
Overall, my goal is making the postorder traversal more intuitive along scope boundaries. I think we may also not need subtree_size, so I'm avoiding use of that now.
Currently the SemanticsIRFactory implementation is less clean than I might like (there are a couple comments to this point), but I was starting to feel like a more complete rewrite would be appropriate rather than trying to clean it up further: in particular, I think the node structures are off, but changing them is significant and also changes test output; in turn it may also warrant more substantial ParseTree changes. If you prefer from a reviewer POV, I can do a more complete rewrite.
This switch is being done in order to make it easier to update tests when the parse tree structure changes. I've been spending a lot of time doing such updates as part of refactoring the parse tree, and I expect more, so that's really at the root of all the refactoring I've been doing to lit updates.
