These constant instructions are all TypeInstId already in their type,
and this makes their names match.
Change the name of MakeSingletonInstId as well and update its comment.
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`.
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.
This creates a new check/type.h for most logic, and also moves some
functions to TypeStore in sem_ir/type.h. My approach for TypeStore is to
focus on moving the read-only functions there.
Use it in the remaining few places where we currently hardcode `i32`: as
the index type in array indexing, as the type for literals in `if`
expressions, and as a valid return type for `Run`.
In preparation for changing `Core.Int` to be a class.
