Per #3714, some of the details here are not yet settled. In particular,
we might want `Self` to come into scope at the start of the definition,
not at the `as` keyword. However, this change allows us to accept the
uncontroversial examples.
The purpose of the newline is to make it clearer where a given
diagnostic begins and ends, particularly as the first message of a
diagnostic may not be the error.
This is a trivial code change, but ripples edits through test files.
On the parsing side, we treat `a.(b)` as a member access whose second
operand is a `ParenExpr` rather than a `MemberName`. A new node category
is added for the union of `MemberName` and `ParenExpr` to support this.
Checking is mostly reusing the same pieces we already have for simple
member access. Compound member access is in most ways a simplified form
of simple member access because it doesn't need to do any lookup.
Add a general substitution mechanism to support substituting symbolic
bindings with their values throughout symbolic constants and, more
specifically, types. This is done by decomposing the constant
instruction into its operands, substituting into the operands, and then
rebuilding the constant value by invoking the constant evaluator.

When a member access names an interface member, perform impl lookup to
find the impl and its corresponding member.

Check that functions in an `impl` are declared properly. For now, simply
reuse the redeclaration checking logic. Longer-term, we need to check
that the signatures match in a more approximate way, after substituting
the `Self` type into the signature in the `interface`.

Add an instruction to hold the witness table, along with a corresponding
type to keep things simpler. Add `check/impl.{h,cpp}` to house the new
logic. No checking of impls against interfaces is performed yet.

`Self` is modeled as a `bind_symbolic_name` with no corresponding value,
for now at least. In the future it might make sense to model it as a new
kind of instruction, or as a `bind_symbolic_name` whose value is a
`param`, but for now we just want it to introduce a symbolic constant.
In order to convert a value like the `Self` of an interface to a type, a
new instruction `facet_type_access` is introduced. This notionally
accesses the "type" field within a facet, converting it from a pair of
(type, witness) into just the type.
Rather than just adding `Self` to the lexical scope, add it to the
class's name scope so that it is visible in later lexical scopes for the
same class -- in particular, for out-of-line definitions of members.
Also switch some tests in `check/testdata/class` over to making
idiomatic use of `Self` both inside a class and out-of-line, now that it
works more consistently.
Note that this does not permit using `Class.Self`, but only because we
don't yet support keyword names after `.` at all. If that changed, one
could use `Class.Self` to redundantly refer to `Class`. Whether we allow
that is left to a future decision.
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.
When declaring an associated entity in an interface -- just associated
functions for now -- create an associated entity value and corresponding
type to represent a "slot in a witness table". Also track the list of
associated entities on the interface so that we will eventually be able
to check impls against them.
Associated entities are represented as the integer index of their slot
in a witness table.

By adding a constant to ClassDecl/InterfaceDecl, we're able to remove
name reference special-casing. Use TryEvalInst on the Decl to generate
the Type. For ClassDecl, then use the generated constant for
self_type_id.
To make the implementation simpler, make `PopWithParseNodeIf` return
`pair<NodeId, optional<value>>` rather than `optional<pair<NodeId,
value>>`. While wrapping the whole result in `optional` seems more
principled, it's significantly harder to work with.
Collect the contents of an `impl` into a scope, and start doing very
basic checking for `impl` declarations and definitions.
This change adds two new `Id` types to the set of type that `NodeStack`
supports -- `ImplId` and `NameScopeId`.

Consume the components of the `impl` declaration, and set up scopes for
the child elements. We don't yet build a representation for the impl
itself.
Also, add an interface type value. This is necessary so that we have a
value for the expression on the right-hand side of `as` in an `impl`.
