Chandler CarruthandRichard Smith 94d2c1c6d4 Make proposal filenames use 6 digits and include the title (#7245)
We've talked about adding the title to the filename several times over
the years and it seems really valuable. This requires us to compute a
"slug" for the title spelling that can be part of the filename.

Beyond that, we crossed 7000 recently, and so it seems likely that we
will need to add digits sooner rather than later here, so this goes
ahead and moves us to 6 digits so we don't have to adjust again for a
reasonable length of time.

To implement this and ensure we can sustain it going forward this adds a
tool to our pre-commit that validates (and corrects if needed) the
filename.

In order to update everything and keep links working, there are a _lot_
of changes, but the most interesting for direct review are in
`proposals/scripts`.

8e8d570571 Proposal: Variadics (#2240)
Proposes a set of core features for declaring and implementing generic
variadic
functions.

A "pack expansion" is a syntactic unit beginning with `...`, which is a
kind of
compile-time loop over sequences called "packs". Packs are initialized
and
referred to using "pack bindings", which are marked with the `each`
keyword at
the point of declaration and the point of use.

The syntax and behavior of a pack expansion depends on its context, and
in some
cases by a keyword following the `...`:

- In a tuple literal expression (such as a function call argument list),
`...`
iteratively evaluates its operand expression, and treats the values as
    successive elements of the tuple.
- `...and` and `...or` iteratively evaluate a boolean expression,
combining
the values using `and` and `or`, and ending the loop early if the
underlying
    operator short-circuits.
-   In a statement context, `...` iteratively executes a statement.
- In a tuple literal pattern (such as a function parameter list), `...`
iteratively matches the elements of the scrutinee tuple. In conjunction
with
    pack bindings, this enables functions to take an arbitrary number of
    arguments.

Richard Smith 6bbbd4ec1f More consistent package syntax (#3927)
Change the syntax for `package` declarations from:

```carbon
[package Foo] [library "bar"] api;
[package Foo] [library "bar"] impl;
```

to

```carbon
[package Foo] [library "bar"];
impl [package Foo] [library "bar"];
```

Richard Smith e26bc32343 Change remaining uses of Bool to bool, following #750. (#1901)
The most significant change here is that explorer now uses the chosen spelling
rather than the old `Bool` spelling. Also update a few documentation examples
and some skeletal design docs to use the chosen spelling.
