To avoid bouncing through `constant_values()` to determine whether a
type is symbolic or template, store the `ConstantId` on the `TypeInfo`
not just the `InstId`.
In addition to propagating the symbolic / template phase, this also
propagates whether a type contains an error, resulting in our no longer
producing types such as `<error>*` -- these now evaluate to simply
`<error>`. While this makes our types less precise after an error, it
also removes some follow-on diagnostics, so it seems to be an
improvement on the whole.
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.
Do not create runtime name bindings for `FieldDecl`s even though they're
declared with `:`, so that we can still constant-evaluate references to
fields.
The constant value we associate with an initializing representation is
the object representation that the initializing expression will store to
its destination.
Also include the type in the profile of an instruction. This is now
necessary for array values, which are represented as tuple_value
instructions with array type, to avoid instructions with different types
being merged by constant canonicalization.
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.
Instructions created by splices during conversion are now evaluated, as
are instructions created in cases where we first create a placeholder
instruction and later replace it by a different instruction.
This also removes the ability to set a parse node and instruction
independently after creating an `InstId`, which could lead to them
accidentally not matching.
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.

This adds a block for exported InstIds, rather than scanning the package
scope. This working down a path discussed last month, which we'll need
to add enclosing namespaces to the Inst in order to complete import of
something like `namespace NS; var NS.a;`
Exports could've been a separate `vector<InstId>` on `SemIR::File`, but
using an entry in `inst_blocks` felt more consistent.
Another incremental change to diagnostic formatting. I simply recurse
over all the tokens in the subtree of a parse node and construct a
`DiagnosticLocation` that covers all of the tokens.
I believe it's nicer for the user to be directed at the entire chunk of
source where the error is occurring rather then just pointing at the
bracketing/terminator tokens, but let me know if you all agree.
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).
