Previously we used the default inst block formatting, which writes out a
parenthesized list of references, which would always be 'unexpected
instref's because nothing else prints the instructions in the decl
block.
In addition, track the decl block for function declarations like we do
for other kinds of declaration. This means that the parameter
declarations for a function are now properly rendered into the formatted
IR. Note that this adds a lot of verbosity to `function_decl`, but it
does accurately reflect the IR, and we'll probably want this information
to be printed once we start supporting more complex generic function
declarations.
This removes almost all the 'unexpected instref's in our formatted
output. There are remaining cases when a declarative scope contains
multiple blocks, where we only track one of those blocks. That happens
when there is control flow within declarative scopes, and for error
recovery when a class or interface or similar is defined more than once.
As requested in #3730.
Previously, we created scopes for implicit parameter lists and tuple
patterns, but that meant that bindings went out of scope too soon. We
now keep them in scope until the end of the enclosing declaration. This
is accomplished by pushing a scope for parameters when we handle a name
that might have them, and then popping the scope again if it turns out
that there were no parameters.
For a case such as:
```carbon
fn A(T:! type).B(U:! type).F(x: T, y: U) {
var z: T;
}
```
... we now have the following scopes in the stack:
- A parameter scope containing `T`.
- A class scope for `A(T:! type)`.
- A parameter scope containing `U`.
- A class scope for `A(T:! type).B(U:! type)`.
- A parameter scope containing `x: T` and `y: U`.
- A function body scope containing `z: T`.
The innermost scope when check processes a declaration of a function,
class, or similar is now often a parameter scope rather than the
enclosing scope in which the class or function is declared, so the
target scope is now passed explicitly into the modifier checking code
that wants to inspect that enclosing scope.
To avoid bouncing through `constant_values()` to determine whether a
type is symbolic or template, store the `ConstantId` on the `TypeInfo`
not just the `InstId`.
In addition to propagating the symbolic / template phase, this also
propagates whether a type contains an error, resulting in our no longer
producing types such as `<error>*` -- these now evaluate to simply
`<error>`. While this makes our types less precise after an error, it
also removes some follow-on diagnostics, so it seems to be an
improvement on the whole.
Building on #3636 which handles the general import case, add special
casing for namespaces. Namespaces can be combined cross-IR, so it's a
little more complex.
The implementation adds import_id to the Namespace instruction as a
reference to find the original using the normal structure. This is
achieved by moving the name_id to NameScope to free up space.
---
I considered a few alternatives...
I considered adding import_id to NameScope, but:
1. It's more consistent with things such as Function or Class that
provide name_id on the info object rather than the instruction.
2. I thought it more likely that there would be more NameScope cases
that might want a name_id rather than the import_id, since ImportRef
will typically be used.
I considered putting the import source (cross-ref IR id + inst id) on
the NameScope versus a separate ImportRef, which seems like the
strongest argument towards the NameScope approach because it removes an
instruction. That just felt inconsistent though, and the overhead of
instruction-per-imported-namespace should be low (theoretically few
namespaces should be used). Plus I feel a bit odd adding two
generally-unused ids to NameScope.
A specialized Namespace structure could also have been created to store
the import_id, but that would add an indirection to the NameScope.
Do not create runtime name bindings for `FieldDecl`s even though they're
declared with `:`, so that we can still constant-evaluate references to
fields.
Remove the type canonicalization mechanism and instead rely on constant
canonicalization to deduplicate types.
Rename the `Canonicalize*Type` functions to reflect that they're no
longer performing canonicalization. Switch code that creates types due
to semantic checking, rather than due to source syntax, to directly
create type constants through evaluation rather than creating an
instruction and evaluating it to produce a separate constant
representation.
The mapping from `const (const T)` that was previously performed by type
canonicalization is now implemented in expression evaluation instead.
The value `<error>` is now treated as a constant value, with a special
property that an instruction involving `<error>` that could possibly be
constant evaluates to `<error>`. This helps avoid producing follow-on
errors when an error occurs as a subexpression of an expression, such as
a type, that is intended to be constant.
Rather than producing multiple constants with the same value, fold all
instances of a given constant to the same constant instruction.
A future PR will use this to replace the current type canonicalization
system.
This is accomplished by tracking an extra bit on the ID we store in the
constant values table, and propagating that from subexpressions to the
enclosing expression. This extra bit is not yet computed correctly for
types; that will be addressed in later PRs.

Form a side table with constant values for each instruction. Evaluation
is only supported for a few very simple kinds of instruction for now.
This is not observable outside of the SemIR output, because nothing
depends on expressions having a constant value phase yet.
Namespaces are copied, which means also adding their name to the
underlying instruction. It happened not to be done previously; the name
was only in name lookup.
Since the only import supported right now is the default import,
functionality is limited; in the future I'll need to deal with namespace
vs package conflicts.
Tests of namespace imports are under "namespace" -- I figured this would
be best for scaling as more instructions get support.
This also improves some debugging-related output that I was trying to
use while trying to build the support.

This change adds a `BindSymbolicName` instruction for generic bindings,
paralleling the existing `BindName`. A mechanism is also added to allow
both kinds of binding to be accessed uniformly, for convenience in the
case where the two different kinds of binding are treated the same.
Generic bindings of type `type` are allowed to be used as types,
although no operations are provided for such types. For now lowering
treats these types as empty structs, which seems like a reasonable
lowering for non-monomorphized unconstrained types.
