Building on #3636 which handles the general import case, add special
casing for namespaces. Namespaces can be combined cross-IR, so it's a
little more complex.
The implementation adds import_id to the Namespace instruction as a
reference to find the original using the normal structure. This is
achieved by moving the name_id to NameScope to free up space.
---
I considered a few alternatives...
I considered adding import_id to NameScope, but:
1. It's more consistent with things such as Function or Class that
provide name_id on the info object rather than the instruction.
2. I thought it more likely that there would be more NameScope cases
that might want a name_id rather than the import_id, since ImportRef
will typically be used.
I considered putting the import source (cross-ref IR id + inst id) on
the NameScope versus a separate ImportRef, which seems like the
strongest argument towards the NameScope approach because it removes an
instruction. That just felt inconsistent though, and the overhead of
instruction-per-imported-namespace should be low (theoretically few
namespaces should be used). Plus I feel a bit odd adding two
generally-unused ids to NameScope.
A specialized Namespace structure could also have been created to store
the import_id, but that would add an indirection to the NameScope.
Remove the type canonicalization mechanism and instead rely on constant
canonicalization to deduplicate types.
Rename the `Canonicalize*Type` functions to reflect that they're no
longer performing canonicalization. Switch code that creates types due
to semantic checking, rather than due to source syntax, to directly
create type constants through evaluation rather than creating an
instruction and evaluating it to produce a separate constant
representation.
The mapping from `const (const T)` that was previously performed by type
canonicalization is now implemented in expression evaluation instead.
The value `<error>` is now treated as a constant value, with a special
property that an instruction involving `<error>` that could possibly be
constant evaluates to `<error>`. This helps avoid producing follow-on
errors when an error occurs as a subexpression of an expression, such as
a type, that is intended to be constant.
Rather than producing multiple constants with the same value, fold all
instances of a given constant to the same constant instruction.
A future PR will use this to replace the current type canonicalization
system.
This is accomplished by tracking an extra bit on the ID we store in the
constant values table, and propagating that from subexpressions to the
enclosing expression. This extra bit is not yet computed correctly for
types; that will be addressed in later PRs.

Form a side table with constant values for each instruction. Evaluation
is only supported for a few very simple kinds of instruction for now.
This is not observable outside of the SemIR output, because nothing
depends on expressions having a constant value phase yet.
Namespaces are copied, which means also adding their name to the
underlying instruction. It happened not to be done previously; the name
was only in name lookup.
Since the only import supported right now is the default import,
functionality is limited; in the future I'll need to deal with namespace
vs package conflicts.
Tests of namespace imports are under "namespace" -- I figured this would
be best for scaling as more instructions get support.
This also improves some debugging-related output that I was trying to
use while trying to build the support.

BinaryOperatorAdd had been added early on as a proof-of-concept for
toolchain design for parsing -> checking flow. However, it doesn't
reflect the interface direction for operators, and now other portions of
the toolchain demonstrate the relevant logic. Instead, it's just a bit
of an outlier versus other instructions which have evolved over time.
This creates a namespace for `package` scope.
It looks like names of class_decls in namespaces lead to an unexpected
instref. This is already true, as best as I can tell. I'm not sure if
there's a preferred approach to address that, so I've left a TODO for
now.
This removes the filename from the file-scoped block, and places it
above to make it clear where the full SemIR begins (with multifile,
providing a barrier between).
Instead of ad-hoc conversion tracking on some kinds of nodes that
conversion creates, consolidate tracking into a single node kind. This
frees up an operand on `Init` instructions that can be used to store the
destination.
Add a `NameId` that is effectively just a wrapper around a `StringId`,
with
some additional predefined values for names that don't correspond to
strings, such as the name of `self` or the function's return slot.
When declaring a name such as `fn Ns.Class.F() { ... }`, enter the
scopes of `Ns` and `Ns.Class` as we form the name, and remain in those
non-lexical scopes until the end of the declaration.
When performing an unqualified lookup, look in any enclosing non-lexical
scopes in addition to looking into the lexical name table.
We now track a scope index with each lookup result in the lexical name
lookup table. This is used to determine whether a lexical or non-lexcial
result is the innermost result and whether a declared name is in the
same scope as some previous introduction of that name or in a nested
scope. For now, this could just be the index into the scope_stack, but
the intent is to also use this to detect names being declared after they
are first looked up, which requires the indexes to outlive their scopes,
so we use a persistent numbering of all scopes instead. The persistent
numbering also permits more invariant checking.
If the initializing representation is the same as the value
representation, don't materialize a temporary and perform a value
binding. Instead, directly extract the value, using a new
`value_of_initializer` node.
This removes a lot of redundant `alloca`s from our generated LLVM IR.
Track the fields in a class, and generate a corresponding struct type as
the object representation for the class. For now, we always use a
pointer as the value representation for a class.
Retain the `ClassDeclaration` node to represent a syntactic declaration
of a class (including possibly a declaration of a generic class), but
use a separate SemIR node to represent the class type itself. This
allows us to give the two separate treatment.
The `ClassDeclaration` is still entered into the name lookup table for
its enclosing scope, but when it is named in an expression, the class
type is produced instead. When the class declaration is named in a
declaration name, it can be used to define members of the class, but an
expression that resolves to the class type cannot be used to define
members of the class.
In order to distinguish these cases, use `Name` rather than
`NameExpression` for the left-hand side of a `QualifiedName` parse node.
This removes the only use of the `Expression` form of a declaration
name, so that is also removed.
In the future, `ClassType` will also be used to describe types such as
`Vector(T)`, for which there is no corresponding `ClassDeclaration`.
This includes being able to define a class that was previously
forward-declared, and being able to define a member function out-of-line
that was previously declared inside a class.
No support for fields or methods yet, and a class definition doesn't yet
cause the class to be treated as a complete type.
