Richard Smith f31e1685fd Only export each class or namespace to C++ once. (#7042)
Instead of exporting a class or namespace each time a new C++ name
lookup discovers it, track that we have exported the entity on its name
scope, and if a new name lookup finds the same entity, produce the same
clang declaration.

Richard Smith b74e0d1260 Superficial support for exporting complete class types to C++. (#7029)
We don't yet populate the bases or fields, so the class types show up as
empty classes in C++ for now. But we do allow calls to static member
functions.

Nicholas Bishop 0635f4628f Add support for C++ calling Carbon functions with parameters (#7024)
This works by generating two thunks, one in C++ and one in Carbon. For
example, given this input:
```c++
// Carbon:
fn Callme(f: f32) {}

// C++:
void F() {
  // This will call `Callme__cpp_thunk`
  Carbon::Callme(1.0);
}
```

These functions are generated:
```c++
// Carbon:
fn Callme__carbon_thunk(ref f: f32) {
  // Call the target function.
  Callme(f);
}

// C++:

// C++ declaration for the Carbon thunk.
void Callme__carbon_thunk(float& f);

void Callme__cpp_thunk(float f) {
  // Call the Carbon thunk with args passed by reference.
  Callme__carbon_thunk(f);
}
```

For now, all arguments are passed by reference, even if they are simple
types like pointers or i32.

Functions with non-void return types are not supported yet.

Nicholas Bishop 85da6cae01 Support calling simple Carbon functions from C++ (#6967)
For now, only functions with no parameters and a `()` return type are
supported.

David BlaikieandJon Ross-Perkins 2af5f971da Reverse Interop: Nested namespace support (#6940)
Start recording the clang::DeclContext* -> InstId mapping for use in
later operations.

The test update includes removing the initial fail_* test because I
hadn't thought about the use of namespace aliases as a way to test for
the presence of a namespace without the failure caused by not finding
the thing inside the namespace.

David Blaikie 14b72f16da SemIR::Namespace->clang::NamespaceDecl interop (#6935)
Rough-in with TODO for caching and scoping/nesting, this only handles
top level namespaces and doesn't nest them appropriately.

6f1f59a385 Initial Reverse Interop implementation (#6901)
Add a clang::ExternalASTSource to begin exposing Carbon entities to
Clang - initially only a single `Carbon` top level namespace.

Subsequent work will add Carbon entities to this namespace.

Likely this CarbonExternalASTSource will be refactored into another
file, tie into/reference SemIR::File and CppFile, etc eventually - but
that'll wait for future patches.

If there's mechanical problems with the current implementation - how I'm
creating the new NamespaceDecl, etc - I'm all ears. It's very much in
the "it seems to work" state, not much more than that.

This does break Clang Modules (header modules, C++20 modules,
precompiled headers, etc) since they're implemented as an
ExternalASTSource as well, and Clang's ASTContext only supports one
ExternalASTSource at a time. To fix that regression we'll need to
implement some kind of ExternalASTSource multiplexing support - either
in Clang or Carbon (unclear which).

This regression of modules support can be observed by the following:
`A.h`
```
inline void f1() { }
```
`module.modulemap`
```
module A {
  header "A.h"
  export *
}
```
`test.carbon`
```
import Cpp inline '''
// Hardcode the pragma to ensure this isn't silently falling back to
// textual inclusion.
void f2() {
  f1();
}
''';
```
```
carbon compile test.carbon -- -I . -fmodules -fimplicit-modules -fmodules-cache-path=module_cache
```

I wrote a `file_test` test for this, but it doesn't /quite/ work because
`file_test` provides an in-memory filesystem for tests to make them more
hermetic, but Clang's Filesystem abstrtaction is for reading only - so
the module that's written out successfully can't be found when it needs
to be read back in - so the test doesn't pass as a baseline. Clang does
have support for `llvm::vfs::OutputBackend` which allows virtualizing
output - which I guess we could tie together with the InMemoryFilesystem
we use for input to make such a test work. But I guess that's not worth
the effort here?
