`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.
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.
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`.
