Provide a general mechanism for determining the kind of the args of an
instruction. Use this to simplify instruction profiling a little. The
intent is to also use this mechanism as the basis of a substitution
mechanism, which will be part of a future patch.
Note that this causes us to do three table lookups and two indirect
calls in inst_profile per instruction, instead of one table lookup and
one indirect call. We can revisit this if it shows up in profiles.
Recent runs of `clang-tidy` for me started showing more errors, and this
is a collection of changes to address them.
First, I've systematically applied the disabling tag to all C++ rules
under //explorer/... with `buildozer` so we don't spend time analyzing
this code or reporting errors from it. Not sure this was strictly
necessary, but it seemed like a nice consistency improvement.
Next, I disabled a buggy check for missing `default` cases in
`switch`es. It seems to get confused by the fancy conversions in our
`enum_base.h`. We don't miss much with this as the Clang compiler
warnings for `switch` catch most of our actual bugs. I also removed the
local disabling of this now that it is turned off centrally.
Lastly, I added error checking to two file descriptor manipulating calls
in the `file_test` infrastructure.

Add a mechanism to define instruction categories, to support inspecting
the common representation of similar kinds of instruction. Use that
mechanism to make formatting of branch instructions slightly more
type-safe.
The idea here is to use the existing `Inst` mechanism for converting to
and from structs, extended to operate on a struct representing multiple
different kinds of instruction. In this case, the concrete kind of
instruction is stored in the struct in a `kind` field, rather than being
implied by the type.
Factored out of #3555 where this mechanism is used to provide a common
interface for runtime and symbolic name bindings.
