This creates a namespace for `package` scope.
It looks like names of class_decls in namespaces lead to an unexpected
instref. This is already true, as best as I can tell. I'm not sure if
there's a preferred approach to address that, so I've left a TODO for
now.
This removes the filename from the file-scoped block, and places it
above to make it clear where the full SemIR begins (with multifile,
providing a barrier between).
Instead of ad-hoc conversion tracking on some kinds of nodes that
conversion creates, consolidate tracking into a single node kind. This
frees up an operand on `Init` instructions that can be used to store the
destination.
Add a `NameId` that is effectively just a wrapper around a `StringId`,
with
some additional predefined values for names that don't correspond to
strings, such as the name of `self` or the function's return slot.
If the initializing representation is the same as the value
representation, don't materialize a temporary and perform a value
binding. Instead, directly extract the value, using a new
`value_of_initializer` node.
This removes a lot of redundant `alloca`s from our generated LLVM IR.
Add support for member access into classes, for both non-instance
members and for fields.

Track the fields in a class, and generate a corresponding struct type as
the object representation for the class. For now, we always use a
pointer as the value representation for a class.
This replaces the use of `VarStorage` in this case.
Add an `UnboundFieldType` type as the type of a field, in cases where
it's referenced without an accompanying object.
Add a `BindName` node to describe the name binding performed for both
variables and fields so that we can handle them more uniformly.
Retain the `ClassDeclaration` node to represent a syntactic declaration
of a class (including possibly a declaration of a generic class), but
use a separate SemIR node to represent the class type itself. This
allows us to give the two separate treatment.
The `ClassDeclaration` is still entered into the name lookup table for
its enclosing scope, but when it is named in an expression, the class
type is produced instead. When the class declaration is named in a
declaration name, it can be used to define members of the class, but an
expression that resolves to the class type cannot be used to define
members of the class.
In order to distinguish these cases, use `Name` rather than
`NameExpression` for the left-hand side of a `QualifiedName` parse node.
This removes the only use of the `Expression` form of a declaration
name, so that is also removed.
In the future, `ClassType` will also be used to describe types such as
`Vector(T)`, for which there is no corresponding `ClassDeclaration`.
This includes being able to define a class that was previously
forward-declared, and being able to define a member function out-of-line
that was previously declared inside a class.
No support for fields or methods yet, and a class definition doesn't yet
cause the class to be treated as a complete type.
