Note this makes some structural choices that I'm not sure how popular they'll be... Most notably, I could remove `DeclarationKind` because I'm using `std::visit` and `Declaration::Visitor` in reality. I could go to `switch(tag())` instead, but I'm wondering if this approach will be well received for the separation of ownership. Alternatively, I could move `Declaration` around so that it actually implements the things like `TopLevel` -- I did feel weird with the old structure of typecheck.cpp implementing members of declaration.h, though.
Also:
- Switch data members, and associated parameters and return types to be values/references rather than pointers, where applicable.
- Move Expression's TagVisitor to anonymous namespace, to avoid name collision.
- Switch to trailing return syntax (per style guide).
Pretty much any names will be awkward, since these types represent cases where an `Expression` is not an expression, and a `Value` is not a value, but we can at least be more explicit about the fact that they represent bindings rather than variable usages.
- `Kind` enumerator names always match the corresponding factory function, accessor, and type names (if any).
- All abbreviations in those names are expanded.
- Those names always have a suffix to disambiguate expressions from values.
`VarTV` is excluded from these changes because there's a pending PR to remove it.
This ensures that the factory functions correspond 1:1 with expression kinds, and MakeOp covers their use cases with minimal syntactic overhead now that it can take initializer list arguments.
The presence or absence of whitespace is used to determine which
operator is in use, following the rules described in #520.
Support for prefix * dereference operator follows #523.

Slowly bringing this into line with Bison's C++ example parser
so we can use strong semantic values for symbols rather than
leaking pointers. First step is to thread a `ParseAndLexContext`
object through the whole syntactic analysis state, like the
example has. In the example, it's called `driver`.

This change creates an unpleasant amount of boilerplate where `Declaration` is declared, in exchange for being able to—very pleasantly—treat it as a simple value that composes with other values everywhere it is used. Applying this technique broadly will pay off in code comprehensibility; once it has been done for all things being new'd, pointers disappear and references are only needed as an idiomatic approximation of inout. The unpleasant code grows only when new polymorphic operations are added, and then only a bit, and is an idiom whose details can readily be ignored once in place. The pleasant code pervades the codebase.
Too bad we don't have existential types in C++ ;-)
* [executable semantics] class-ify Declaration
NFC (no functional change).
Proof of concept that we can simplify code by replacing unions with safer, more
regular types. Hand-rolled existentials (type-erasing CoW wrappers) are a follow-on
step that will further simplify usage.
Began adding `const` where possible, and replacing `std::string*` with
`std::string`. Most `const`s can disappear as we replace reference semantics
with value semantics, but in the meantime it's an important step in the right
direction.
Notes versus what jsiek wrote:
- This adopts Bazel for building.
- System-local versions of bison/flex are used. I found https://github.com/jmillikin/rules_bison, but those print a lot of warnings (things like -Wsign-compare IIRC) which makes builds hard to read. Plus I think the underlying bison_cc_library rule didn't work, so this would really only get a hermetic bison/flex build (helpful, but didn't seem worth more time).
- I'm adding in a .bazeliskrc to push a somewhat more standard choice of bazel versions. I noticed I was getting unstable versions by default, possible Google-specific, but seemed good to include.
- The `-lpthread` kludge.
- Turn all of the examples into golden tests.
- Including adding a golden test rule.
- Fixed various style guide issues. For example:
- Fixing function names to be CamelCase instead of snake_case (https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Function_Names)
- Removed exception use (https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Exceptions)
- File name fixes (https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/project/cpp_style_guide.md#file-names)
- Dropped `using` of `std` names -- I believe this is preferred (maybe we should be explicit about this in the Carbon style guide)
- Switched `enum` uses to `enum class` for ease-of-identification.
- Spent some time breaking out files to hopefully be easier to read/edit pieces, and understand relations between structs.
- Added `code requires` to `syntax.ypp` to address include issues
Possibly other things -- but the fundamental structure is, I believe, unchanged. I put in the golden tests pretty early to ensure I wasn't mutating output/results.
