Dana Jansens d2ac9b3933 Diagnose where in a binding that introduces a .Self that does not refer to the binding (#7517)
This is in addition to finding a `where` on the RHS of another `where`.
Since a generic binding introduces `.Self`, any `where` expression that
isn't part of a facet type modifying the binding itself would introduce
an ambiguous `.Self`.

Add virtual parse nodes for let, var, and form bindings, which goes
before the type. This allows us to track if `where` appears in the
binding's type. We only need to look for an invalid `where` if any
appeared in the type. We combine these three nodes together into a
single node kind, which requires us to remove the name from it as a
child. We move it up to the Pattern node again, and rename the
PatternStart nodes to PatternTypeStart as they are now located in the
middle of the Pattern nodes, just before the type.

And we only need to thaw `.Self` in generic bindings. Non-generic
bindings can only have `.Self` through a `where` expression, since the
name is not provided otherwise to non-generic bindings. And `where`
expressions thaw their `.Self` independently. So the binding only needs
to thaw a `.Self` that it introduced, which is only for generic
bindings.

Chandler Carruth 8be274cf60 Replace :! binding syntax with phase keywords and contextual defaults (#7479)
Implement the toolchain side of proposal #7254, removing the `:!`
binding
syntax for generic and template parameters in favor of the keywords
`generic`,
`template`, and `runtime` plus contextual defaults for phase.

For valid programs this is semantics-preserving: each binding resolves
to the
same phase, and produces the same SemIR, as it did under `:!`/`:`. The
parser
derives a binding's phase from its syntactic context plus any explicit
phase
keyword; new diagnostics and error recovery for misused keywords are
described
below.

Implementation details for each component:

- Lexer: remove the `:!` (`ColonExclaim`) token, move its virtual
parse-node
  budget onto `:`, and add the `generic` and `runtime` keywords.
- Parser: thread a `BindingContext` (`ExplicitParam`, `DeducedParam`, or
`CompileTimeEntityParam`) from declaration introducers down through
parameter
lists to each binding pattern, using a one-token lookahead to
distinguish a
name-qualifier parameter list from a declaration's own final list.
Parameters
of a compile-time entity (`class`, `interface`, `constraint`, `choice`,
`alias`, `export`, `namespace`) and deduced `[]` parameters default to
checked
generic; explicit function parameters and local bindings default to
runtime.
`HandleBindingPattern` resolves the phase from that context plus the
keyword: a
`generic` keyword needs no node of its own (the phase is carried by the
  binding's node kind), while a `runtime` keyword is preserved as a
`RuntimeBindingName` node so `check` can name it in a diagnostic. A
phase
keyword that is merely redundant with the contextual default is
diagnosed
  here, without invalidating the parse tree.
- Check: a phase keyword that is invalid for its context (for example
`runtime`
on a checked-generic parameter) is diagnosed here, and recovers by
building an
error binding that still introduces the name so that later uses of it do
not
  produce cascading errors.

The removed `:!` syntax is now rejected as an ordinary parse error.

The `form`/`:?`/`->?` ("extended types") portion of proposal #7254 is
left for a
separate change.

Geoff Romer 4a0cf6c1fb Track the start of a signature more accurately (#6760)
This change ensures that a function signature always starts with an
`IdentifierNameMaybeBeforeSignature` node (renamed from
`IdentifierNameBeforeParams`), even in the case of function declarations
like `fn F -> T` that have no parameter list. As a consequence, this
ensures that we push new entries onto `pattern_block_stack` and
`full_pattern_stack` when we start processing the function signature.

Dana JansensandJon Ross-Perkins 4b0e2b03b6 Add the .Self name for the type expression of a compile time binding (#5937)
We add a virtual node (`CompileTimeBindingPatternStart`) as the first
child of `CompileTimeBindingPattern` which holds the identifier
underneath it, so that it is checked just before the type expression of
the `CompileTimeBindingPattern`. When we reach this virtual node during
check, we add `.Self` as a name in the current scope, and when we reach
`CompileTimeBindingPattern` we remove it from scope, which ensures it's
present during only the checking of the type expression for the compile
time pattern.

At the moment the `.Self` has a different type (it's a `TypeType`) than
other `.Self` in the facet type (which are a single `FacetType`), but
the intention is to immediately substitute it out of the facet type
entirely, replacing it with a reference to the compile time binding (a
`BindSymbolicName`) itself. A TODO has been added for this.

Geoff RomerandJon Ross-Perkins 74e1a9949f Support tuple patterns outside parameter lists (#4923)
Parameter lists need substantially different treatment than tuple
patterns in other contexts, so this change splits them into separate
parse node kinds.

Geoff Romer 943acf1ec2 Separate node kind for bindings inside var (#4822)
This is a step toward making binding pattern handling more robust, by
removing its reliance on the node stack for context.

Geoff RomerandJon Ross-Perkins 4f10735751 Track params in the parser (#4777)
This change splits `NodeKind::IdentifierName` into separate node kinds
depending on whether the identifier is followed by parameters, and
similarly splits `NameQualifier` based on whether the qualifier has
parameters. This enables us to only push a pattern block when it's
actually needed, rather than "defensively" pushing one when it might be
needed.

Jon Ross-Perkins 83413479d7 Move some of the test information to TIP lines (#4007)
This has is a nice-to-have for me. Frequently I want to run a specific
test, and end up digging through output to be able to copy-paste the run
line. This uses TIP lines to inject the command into the file when using
AUTOUPDATE.

Note, one of the reasons I want this is because "bazel test
//toolchain/testing:file_test --test_output=all" has been regularly
exceeding bazel's output limit for me (workaround is either opening the
output file or specifying an obscure output limit flag), making it a
little harder for me to get the commands. However, frequently I'm adding
a file and want to iterate on it, so that's really the use case I have
in mind here.
