Richard SmithandJon Ross-Perkins d8be774b8b Lowering support for overloaded operators. (#3798)
Fix a collection of issues that were preventing lowering for overloaded
operators from working.

Instead of creating `import_ref` instructions during name lookup in the
current block, whatever that might be, we now create them in the `file`
block always. This avoids inserting them into blocks that might not be
intended to contain them, such as functions, and avoids the IR generated
for a function depending on which names we happen to have looked up
first.

When importing a class, function, or interface, import its enclosing
scope ID. This is necessary to allow us to distinguish between functions
at interface scope, which shouldn't be lowered, and other functions, and
will also be used in future to provide qualified names for declarations
when printing types. In order to support this:

- Track the constant values of namespaces created during importing so
that we can find them when resolving an import ref. Use those constant
values to convert an enclosing scope ID from the imported IR into a
corresponding ID in the current IR.
- Change how we do two-pass import of classes and namespaces so that we
can do two-pass import even for non-defining declarations, so that we
can import the enclosing scope.

While working on the final point above, I reworked `TryResolveInst` to
return a flag indicating whether another pass is necessary instead of
implicitly encoding this in the `ConstantId`. This permits the handling
of classes to be simplified; now `import_ir_constant_values` is only
accessed in a single place.

cf361a83f3 Overloaded operator support. (#3796)
Support is added for all overloaded operator interfaces in the current
design apart from `Assign`, which is going to require some more work to
properly handle, given that primitive assignment currently has a special
implementation for quite a few builtin types.

As we don't have support for generics yet -- in particular, generic
interfaces -- there is no support for `*With` interfaces, but homogenous
interfaces such as `Add` are supported instead.

Factor out building of call expressions so that overloaded operators can
generate calls.

Switch a few places from using specific kinds of NodeId to a general
NodeId. Because overloaded operators and other things like implicit
conversions can result in member access and function calls, those
operations can't require a specific kind of NodeId.

Add import support for associated entities, and fix import support for
interfaces and symbolic bindings. We now import interfaces in two steps,
first importing a forward declaration then a definition, just like we do
for classes. For symbolic bindings, we ensure that each BindSymbolicName
is imported only once, because its ID is used as its symbolic identity.
This is necessary because we (only) support operator interfaces that are
defined in an imported Carbon package for now.

The entire contents of `check/operator.cpp` should probably be
rethought. In particular, doing a lot of name lookups on each operator
is likely to be bad for performance. But this gets us to the point where
overloaded operators are basically working, which seems like a good
place to iterate from.

For now, the tests that the individual operators map to the right
interfaces are mostly generated by a script, but that's just because I'm
expecting a fair bit of churn in how we define the prelude and the
`impl`s -- in particular, when we add support for `AddWith`, we'll need
to update all the tests. The plan is to remove the script once things
settle down.
