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.
Add a `Core.String` class to the prelude representing a string view, and
rename the `String` keyword to `str` and make it evaluate to
`Core.String`.
`Core.String` is represented as a pair of a pointer to a character
(actually, to the first character of a string, but we don't have a way
of modeling that yet) and a size (which should be pointer-width, but is
currently always a `u64` as we don't have a `usize` equivalent yet).
`Core.String` values are generated directly by the toolchain for string
literal expressions.
This follows the direction established at the recent summit, but the
design implemented here has not been through the proposal process yet.
Parameter lists need substantially different treatment than tuple
patterns in other contexts, so this change splits them into separate
parse node kinds.

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.

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.
I was suggesting this because `FloatingPoint` is pretty long. `int` and
`float` should be familiar abbreviations. `unsigned` should be familiar
to developers too, but `UnsignedInt` still feels usefully clearer for
the additional chars.
A `let` declaration is represented by a `bind_name` node in SemIR:
```carbon-semir
%b: i32 = bind_name "b", %a
```
Because `Check` encounters the pattern before it sees the value, we
first create the `bind_name` node with an unset value and don't add it
to the block. Then, once we've seen and converted the initializer, we
update the `bind_name` to have the value and add it to the current
block, after the initializer code.
