The intent of this change is that instead of paths looking like `explorer/testdata/foo/bar.carbon` (repo-relative), they're now just `bar.carbon` (local). The consequence is that paths should be a bit more durable in various environments, and just paths should be shorter and easier to read.
The explorer's prelude is an exception to this since it comes from data, rather than being the test target. Due to the change in approaches, it needs the regex again.

I'm still leaving a handful of `lit` tests to test end-to-end binary execution. This is why testdata directories are split (`lit` tests next to the `explorer` binary, the `cc_test`s next to `ParseAndExecute`).
These functions are dangerous, as they check whether conversions are possible without actually performing the conversions. In each case where they were used, explorer would crash in some cases if a user-defined conversion is required.
This change moves us more towards implicit conversions being handled by a regular function call on an interface and away from them being magical builtins. Unfortunately, this exposes a pre-existing bug that a call of the form `x.(ImplicitAs(T).Convert)()` compiles even if `x` only has an explicit conversion to `T`. That's worked around here for now, but will need a proper fix later.
