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.
These are intended to allow the structure of a parse tree node to be
described more precisely in code, to support these use cases:
- Automated checking that the parse tree conforms to the expected
structure. (Added to `Tree::Verify`.)
- Easier reading and understanding of the structure of the parse tree by
toolchain developers. (See `parse/typed_nodes.h`.)
- Easier navigation of the parse tree, for example for tooling uses and
for use when forming diagnostics.
On this last point, an object representing the file may be inspecting
using `Tree::ExtractFile`, as in:
```
auto file = tree->ExtractFile();
for (AnyDeclId decl_id : file.decls) {
// `decl_id` is convertible to a `NodeId`.
if (std::optional<FunctionDecl> fn_decl =
tree->ExtractAs<FunctionDecl>(decl_id)) {
// fn_decl->params is a `TuplePatternId` (which extends `NodeId`)
// that is guaranteed to reference a `TuplePattern`.
std::optional<TuplePattern> params = tree->Extract(fn_decl->params);
// `params` has a value unless there was an error in that node.
} else if (auto class_def = tree->ExtractAs<ClassDefinition>(decl_id)) {
// ...
}
}
```
The `Extract...` functions collect the child nodes into the typed parse
node's fields (internally using a `Tree::SiblingIterator`) for easy
access. However, this is not as fast as directly observing the tree
structure using the postorder strategy being used by the check stage.
These functions rely on using struct reflection on the typed parse node
definitions from `parse/typed_nodes.h` to get the expected structure of
child nodes and then populate them.
Note that validating these in `Tree::Verify` adds significant cost to
it, and is currently included in the parsing stage. Without this change,
a 10 mloc test case of lex & parse takes 4.129 s ± 0.041 s. With this
change, it takes 5.768 s ± 0.036 s.
This builds upon and completes #3393.

(Split out of #3410)
Consistently use `ParenExpr` solely for parenthesized single
expressions, and use more syntax-oriented terminology for states and
nodes that might represent either a `ParenExpr` or a tuple literal.
I was suggesting this because `FloatingPoint` is pretty long. `int` and
`float` should be familiar abbreviations. `unsigned` should be familiar
to developers too, but `UnsignedInt` still feels usefully clearer for
the additional chars.
A `let` declaration is represented by a `bind_name` node in SemIR:
```carbon-semir
%b: i32 = bind_name "b", %a
```
Because `Check` encounters the pattern before it sees the value, we
first create the `bind_name` node with an unset value and don't add it
to the block. Then, once we've seen and converted the initializer, we
update the `bind_name` to have the value and add it to the current
block, after the initializer code.
