Dana Jansens bfebb7cb42 Pass SpecificInterface through custom and C++ witness generation (#7784)
We were passing a SpecificInterfaceId which just makes code have to do a
lookup to get the actual SpecificInterface. The caller already has the
SpecificInterface, so plumb that around.

SpecificInterfaceId really only exists when we need to stick a
SpecificInterface into an instruction as an operand.

Dana Jansens 2f58185c44 Find the current impl from accesses in a named constraint being implemented (#7592)
When implementing a named constraint, like `impl as N`, any accesses
through `Self` in the named constraint need to get the value of the
associated constant from the impl's witness table. This isn't possible
immediately, since the impl does not even exist until the declaration is
complete. We use the same model as for accesses found directly in the
impl declaration, but applied to the point where accesses in the named
constraint are substituted during identify to point at the impl's self
type. To get there, we need LookupImplWitness instructions in the named
constraint, when re-evaluated during construction of their enclosing
specific, to evaluate to ImplSelfWitness when they are a reference to
the type and interface being implemented.

Dana Jansens a5ba0a0f45 Use GetConstantValueInSpecific to get the impl's specific interface after deduction (#7584)
During impl lookup, for each (generic) impl candidate, we form a
specific for that impl by deducing its generic arguments. Then we
compare the query interface against the impl's specific interface. That
comparison needs the deduced arguments applied to the impl's specific
interface. Previously we were doing this by getting the impl's
constraint facet type with the impl's specific applied (via
`GetConstantValueInSpecific()`) and then identifying that facet type
with the impl's deduced self.

Identify is a fairly expensive operation. It runs subst, trying to
replace `.Self` references. It walks named constraints. It collects
require declarations. We're looking at making it do _more_ in the future
too, including rewrite constraint resolution and collecting rewrite and
same-type constraints. For this reason we have a cache to make it cheap
on the second run, but it's still a very heavyweight operation to
involve in impl lookup, when all we want is to apply the impl's specific
to its target interface.

We almost have all the information we need to avoid the identification
step. We have the impl's specific after deduction. And we have the
SpecificInterface that the impl is targeting in the `Impl` struct. When
we form the specific for the impl itself, we resolve the declaration
block and form new constant values for all instructions in there, but
that does not cover the SpecificInterface that we're storing in the
`Impl` struct. So we add a new instruction to the impl's eval block,
which will be symbolic when the impl is generic and the target interface
depends on a generic parameter. And we store the `InstId` in the `Impl`
struct. This allows us to gets its constant value later with the impl's
specific applied. From that constant value we can then pull out the
SpecificInterface that the impl is targeting.

Dana Jansens f51c075f8b Avoid symbolic witnesses for .Self in an impl decl (#7564)
Point symbolic witnesses into `.Self` written inside an impl decl at the
impl that is being declared. This is tricky because the impl does not
yet exist. So we use a new instruction `ImplSelfWitness` which _will_ be
replaced by the `ImplWitness` once it becomes available. The
`ImplSelfWitness` acts like a symbolic witness, except it does not
perform lookup, since we know which impl we will get a witness from.

This prevents us from finding other impls when performing lookups into
`.Self` in an impl decl, which produces incorrect/incoherent results.

I wanted to move it to check but there'd still be an

sem_ir, but moving it to its own file. This more clearly separates
DeclaredFacetTypes and IdentifiedFacetTypes.

Dana Jansens 2d9e3fee67 Use identified facet type to get impl-as target (#7519)
This supports impl lookup choosing an impl that targets a generic
interface through a named constraint, without crashing.

Instead of assuming the impl's target is a facet type containing an
interface, we use the identified facet type to find the specific
interface it targets.

Dana Jansens b3e9dd3ea2 Consolidate checking for and rejecting other_requirements in impl lookup (#7518)
Since the introduction of `other_requirements`, we now have a dedicated
step in impl lookup for checking that the requirements of the query
facet type are satisfied. That is the place where we will be checking
same-type constraints, which `other_requirements` signals the presence
of.

Consolidate all checking of `other_requirements` to that step, which
reduces our use of `FacetTypeInfo` (as opposed to the
`IdentifiedFacetType`) and removes interest in same-type constraints
from code that is not related to them.

Dana Jansens 81e495ee53 Impls in final match_first block aren't always final (#7512)
If an earlier impl may match a more specific query, then later impls can
not be treated as final for the given query.

See
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/de8b03faa3178ae683d8e7124fbcba81eb88e00c/proposals/p005337-interface-extension-and-final-impl-update.md#using-associated-constants-from-impls-in-a-final-match_first

Dana Jansens cda1f256bb Use match_first to prioritize impls (#7492)
Allow (don't diagnose) impls that have the same type structure if they
are associated with the same match_first block. Similarly, allow final
impls (made final by their enclosing match_first block) that overlap in
type structure when they are associated with the same match_first block.

If the type structures are the same, choose the first impl from the
match_first block.same.

If the type structures overlap but are not the same, and share a
match_first block, then we should choose the first overlapping impl from
the match_first block. This is true both for final and non-final impls.
See
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/de8b03faa3178ae683d8e7124fbcba81eb88e00c/proposals/p005337-interface-extension-and-final-impl-update.md#impl-selection-algorithm

But in the non-final case if there is an overlapping impl outside the
match_first, it can win if it's more specific.

Dana Jansens 69433a1834 Remove the ImplicitOnly option from SubstPeriodSelf (#7461)
The implicit/explicit `.Self` concept is a heuristic at best, so we
should avoid relying on it. The ImplicitOnly option is no longer used,
as it was used to remove/disambiguate `.Self` in nested facet types, but
we have banned nesting `where` on the RHS of a `where`. So we no longer
have to worry about ambiguous `.Self`.

We can remove all the designator tracking heuristics in `.Self`
substitution as well now, as they were used for the now-removed
ExplicitOnly (removed in
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7460) and
ImplicitOnly options.

Dana Jansens 55dcf66584 Remove extra SubstPeriodSelf and canonicalization (#7474)
The self and interface given to TryFindMatchingWitnessFromImplLookup
come from the output of SubstPeriodSelf, so there is no need to do the
substitution again. And the self came from a LookupImplWitness
instruction so it is already fully canonicalized.

Dana Jansens c74bb933d2 Avoid impl lookup cycles from evaluating lookup instructions inside an impl decl (#7454)
`LookupImplWitness` instructions inside the impl declaration can't use
the impl they are apart of. Previously we had an heuristic in eval which
would try to prevent finding the impl for a lookup from inside that
impl. But it breaks when the `.Self` is replaced in a generic impl with
a symbolic, and then that symbolic is replaced in a specific. The
specific's decl block contains that `LookupImplWitness` instruction and
it tries to use the impl it came from. This causes the same specific to
be formed again, but now it exists, so it's used as-is but it has no
decl block yet, and so we crash.

Now we ban an impl while we resolve its specific, both deduction of its
arguments and from any other substitution. The prevents instructions
from inside the impl (which are evaluated when resolving the specific)
from finding their own impl. We do so by adding the ImplId to a stack on
the Context, and then skipping such impls when looking for candidates
during eval.

This fixes a crash, which was demonstrated by the new test being added.
It also makes another todo test pass.

There's a whole lot of other semir churn, which seems to be mostly
reordering of constants. There are some fingerprint changes in
constants, but it appears they are the same canonical instructions, so
they don't represent a behaviour change. For example in
`toolchain/check/testdata/for/actual.carbon` the `%N.patt` constant has
been given its fingerprint suffix now as `%N.patt.aa5`. But they are
both this instruction, so it is just a formatting change:

```
inst6100001A: {kind: SymbolicBindingPattern, arg0: entity_name61000002, type: type(inst61000018)}
  - name: `N`
  - type: type(inst61000018): <pattern for Core.IntLiteral>; {kind: PatternType, arg0: inst(IntLiteralType), type: type(TypeType)} (concrete)
  - value: symbolic_constant61000001

Dana Jansens bb0d74ba39 Remove an extra canonicalization of a self that is already canonicalized (#7477)
Clarify that the functions that search for a witness in a facet type no
longer take inputs from the query directly, but now take them from an
identified facet type constructed from the query. That means the self
type is already canonicalized.

Dana Jansens 4261bb2dd2 Track and don't replace active .Self (#7443)
In #7436 we stopped substituting `.Self` when collecting witnesses out
of a facet type. While this was correct, it did not capture all the
cases that need to avoid substituting `.Self`. And it poisoned the
`IdentifiedFacetType` cache by not replacing `.Self` but storing the
result in the cache. This led to incoherent behaviour, where the result
of an impl lookup would change depending on which ones had been done
previously.

Now we use a flag to track for each `.Self` if we're currently
type-checking inside the scope where it was introduced in a facet type.
While inside that scope, identify should not replace the `.Self`. Any
use of it should remain as-is since we don't yet know what value will
replace it. We call this state "frozen" since it should not be modified
by identify. This requires a substitution step when we leave the scope
that introduced the `.Self`, to remove the flag. The flag is set in the
`EntityName` of the `SymbolicBinding`, and is part of the canonical
value, since `.Self` can become part of types, which are constants, and
the flag needs to follow it for correct behaviour.

We also have to ensure the flag is the same when doing comparison with
constants from inside a facet type and constants from outside. For
instance in `(Z where .Z1 = ()) where .Z2 = .Z1`, when we arrive at the
second `.Z1` its `.Self` will be frozen, while the `.Z1 = ()` contains a
non-frozen `.Self`. So we add the frozen flag to the first when storing
it in `where_stack` in order to compare the constant values of the two
`.Z1`.

The `WhereExpr` requirement inst kinds now have an `InstConstantKind` of
`AlwaysUnique` instead of `Never`. This allows us to add them to the
usual InstBlocks, and in an `eval fn` body they have a constant value,
so eval does not fail when trying to call that function. We have to be
careful to not consider `AlwaysUnique` as being actually concrete
though, since their constant value erases `.Self`-dependence. This
allows us to stop special casing them when thawing the requirements
block in a `WhereExpr`, and we can just thaw each `InstId` in the block
in a straightforward manner.

We add the new flag to the instruction's fingerprint and name in
formatted semir.

Dana Jansens bd3ca2b72b Subst the whole facet type to replace .Self in identify (#7449)
This performs `.Self` substitution in a single step, for the whole facet
type, instead of doing it individually for each constraint visited in
the top-level facet type. Then we don't need to track state to avoid
subst in constraints that come from other named constraints.

The semir changes are because we now generate a whole other FacetType
from the substitution.

Dana Jansens e7771c2f6d During identify replace .Self only in the initial facet type (#7436)
When we find a named constraint during identity, we recurse into it. The
specific args of the named constraint may contain references to `.Self`
which can then make `.Self` appear inside the named constraint, which
was making us replace `.Self` at multiple levels and incorrectly. The
first specific argument replaces `Self` in the named constraint, and we
pass in the self-type of the identify operation. This may contain
`.Self` and we should _not_ be replacing the `.Self` references with the
self-type that they are contained within. This led to infinite cycles.

In the meantime, we have made the toolchain reject any ambiguous `.Self`
from being constructed. So we know there is only one value of `.Self`
around in a facet type.

So now we replace `.Self` only in the top level facet type during
identity. That means replacing `.Self` in the specifics of the named
constraints that we recurse into. But we do _not_ replace `.Self`
anymore inside those named constraints. This resolves the infinite loop.

At the same time, when we are identifying an `impls` constraint from
earlier in the same facet type, like `C impls Z(.Self)` we are
identifying with a self-type of `C`. We want the output to use `C` as
the self-type since we should get back an identified facet type that
says `C impls Z(.Self)`. But we do _not_ want to replace the `.Self`
there since we're inside a facet type and the `.Self` does not refer to
`C`. So we parameterize `TryToIdentifyFacetType` to not replace `.Self`
when identifying an `impls` constraint from the `where_stack()`. This
resolves a large number of `fail_todo_` tests.

Dana Jansens a068806f67 Test and mitigate infinite cycles in impl lookup (#7428)
Impl lookup identifies the types of facets in the query, replacing
`.Self` in each type with the facet. This allows references using the
facet from outside the facet type to match similar structures inside the
facet type.

However replacing `.Self` with the facet can re-evaluate symbolic impl
lookups inside the facet type. These can perform deduction in generic
`final impl`s, which can attempt to convert the facet. Convert does an
impl lookup with that facet in the query, which causes us to form an
infinite recursion cycle.

Add tests that caused such a cycle, to demonstrate we no longer crash.
Some of these tests fail impl lookups using concrete values in the query
that match values from a `final impl`, with TODOs to address them.

Dana Jansens bbca8668ae Allow witnesses to come from a facet with partially identified type in the lookup target (#7260)
We allow impl lookup to use `Self` which is partially identified, but we
were only allowing this for the `Self` facet appearing in the impl
lookup query self. We should also allow it when `Self` appears in the
impl lookup query target facet type.

But demonstrate that `Self` appearing in the interface of an
ImplWitnessAccess (a compound member access) is not sufficient at this
time, as it does not put `Self` into the type structure.

Dana Jansens 58b135235c Use earlier C(.Self) impls ... and .Self impls ... constraints in a facet type (#7246)
The `.Self` needs to be canonicalized when recording the witness, since
it will be a FacetAccessType in the `impls` clause.

Todo tests are also added for `C impls Y(.Self)`. The `.Self` in the
interface specific breaks everything as we end up replacing the `.Self`
with `C` in later `C as Y(.Self)` lookups, which then does not find the
witness.

Pull all the witnesses from `impls` constraints so that we capture
witnesses coming from named constraints on different self types, as `C
impls N(.Self)` may give witnesses for `C` or for other self types.

Dana Jansens 42a4dba9fd Makes impls constraints available to use in later constraints within a facet type (#7209)
If a facet type contains `.X impls Y` then later references to `.X`
should know that it impls `Y`. This is done through a stack on the
context like for rewrites, where impl lookup can find constraints from
the current `where` expression being checked.

Similarly, if a facet type contains `.X impls (Y where .Z = T)`, then
`.X.(Y.Z) = T` should be available to later constraints in the facet
type for early application of rewrite rules. We add these rewrites to
the rewrite stack when handling the `impls` constraint

Dana JansensandRichard Smith 6326bbdbe1 Resolve cycles in .Self replacement in nested designators (#7183)
A nested designator like `.(X.X1).(Y.Y1)` results in nested
ImplWitnessAccess instructions, which can produce cycles in the
toolchain easily when replacing `.Self`.

First, when constructing a facet type like `V:! Z where .Z1 impls (Y
where .Y1 = U)` we substitute replace `.Self` in the nested facet type,
and in this case we replace `.Self` with `.Z1` which contains a `.Self`
of its own. This was coming from us being lazy about replacing `.Self`
in an `impl as` declaration, such as `impl C as Z where .Z1 = .Self`.
The self type is known there, so we can more eagerly replace `.Self` as
we do in a `require impls` declaration. Then the replacement for `.Self`
never comes with a `.Self` that needs to also be replaced. Any resulting
`.Self` would always be the top-level one.

Second, when evaluating ImplWitnessAccess, we were replacing .Self in
the LHS of rewrite constraints, but the `.Self` may itself have a type
that contains rewrite constraints. If one of those rewrite constraints
has nested ImplWitnessAccess instructions, we evaluate the new
ImplWitnessAccess, which again finds rewrite constraints to replace
`.Self` in, and we repeat forever. For this one we just stop replacing
.Self in the LHS of rewrite constraints. Since they are always against
.Self, we can always look in the access facet's type for a value.

While fixing ImplWitness access, also correct the lookup to search
through the types of nested ImplWitnessAccess instructions to find a
rewrite value, since it may find it at any level up to the eventual
`.Self`.

Dana Jansens eea1e58376 Correctly handle ImplWitnessAccess in impl lookup (#7181)
We were treating ImplWitnessAccess as a concrete type, but that is
incorrect if its accessing a symbolic type value. This results in
concrete impl lookup queries failing to match a generic impl that is
built with a symbolic ImplWitnessAccess in its type structure, when the
query does not have the equivalent ImplWitnessAccess in its own type
structure.

We need to look in the top level facet being accessed through
ImplWitnessAccess for witnesses, such as in `T:! Z where .Z1 impls Y`
where `T` provides the witness for `T.Z1 as Y`. But we also need to look
in the facet type of the ImplWitnessAccess for witnesses, such as in
`T:! Z` for `interface Z { let Z1:! Y }`, where `T.Z1` provides the
witness for `T.Z1 as Y`.

To support that we give TypeIterator an iteration step for
ImplWitnessAccess before recursing into it, like we do for FacetValue.

While doing this, we make TypeIterator more recursive, by making less
special casing around the step from one inst into the next. Instead of
eagerly finding a SymbolicType, we consistently recurse back into the
big switch statement and have it decide the next iteration step. This
allows it to recurse into instructions like ImplWitnessAccess and
FacetValue in a consistent manner.

Dana Jansens a19a6ab6d1 Search all facets in the impl lookup query for witnesses (#7178)
This enables searching facets like `T:! Z where .Z1 impls Y` for queries
like `T.Z1 as Y`, etc.

Any facet in the query self or the query target type may provide a
witness for the requirements of the impl lookup, so search through them
all.

We accept partially identified facet types in the query self, since
`Self` can be used inside a named constraint before it's fully
identified. But any use of `Self` being converted would put it in the
query self, not the query target, which would be some generic parameter
facet type that a type involving `Self` is being converted to.

TypeIterator is expanded to support this use case, by giving it the
ability to walk through FacetType's extend/impls constraints. We return
the facet values that we find in the iterator instead of a type id. And
we also include FacetValue instructions as an iterator step for clients
that want them, while also recursing through them.

Dana Jansens 46bb0fecd4 Properly diagnose ambiguous .Self in T impls X where... (#7132)
A `where` expression nested inside a `T impls X` constraint makes
`.Self` ambiguous on the right-hand side of the `where` if `T` is
anything other than `.Self`. After the `where`, the value of a `.Self`
could be `T` or could be the value of `.Self` before the `impls`
constraint: the so-called top-level value of `.Self`.

Implicit use of `.Self` in designators is always allowed, and they are
bound (and replaced by a reference) to the inner-most possible value of
`.Self`. On the right-hand side of the nested `where` above, they have
the value `T as X`.

`.Self impls ...` is also always allowed, since it acts more as a
keyword here, and it always refers to the inner-most possible value of
`.Self`.

Any other explicit use of `.Self` is diagnosed when ambiguous, in any
kind of constraint. This is done in the handling of `WhereExpr` since it
has enough context to allow `.Self impls` (which is an explicit use)
while disallowing other explicit uses. And because it has non-canonical
instructions to work with, so it is able to diagnose errors with precise
locations.

Since `.Self` is no longer going to be marked with depth modifiers, the
eval of `WhereExpr` does not need an input facet value instruction
representing `.Self` to compare with, as they are now going to all be
equivalent. So revert it back to just looking for the `PeriodSelf` name
id, through a shared helper being introduced as `IsPeriodSelf`. And drop
the period self InstId from the `WhereExpr` instruction. This causes
most of the formatted SemIR changes.

Move helpers for working with and replacing `.Self` to their own file,
out of the `facet_type.h` header/cpp files. These are working with
`.Self` facet values more than facet types, though `.Self` is a name
that only exists inside the scope of a facet type.

Dana Jansens d9841992cb Replace .Self in facet types (#7097)
This allows `T impls X` constraints to function, since they must contain
some reference to `.Self` in order to be valid. This should be
sufficient to support the interfaces we need for for loops over C++
range-for-compatible types.

We replace `.Self` in the following places:
- In a require decl, as we have a specific self facet to replace it with
from the declaration, either a user-specified facet or the symbolic
`Self`.
- When identifying a facet type, as we have a specific self that we are
identifying the facet type with. That self gets used for all `.Self`
references.
- Implicit `.Self` references on the RHS of an `impls` constraint when
building a facet type. The `.Self` references there no longer refer to
the top level self facet, so replace them with the facet that we now
know they refer to, which is found on the LHS of the `where` before the
`impls`.
- Rewrite constraints in impl lookup when validating them and comparing
them with constants from witnesses, which come from identifying a facet
type.
- Rewrite constraints in ImplWitnessAccess eval when comparing them with
constants from witnesses, which come from identifying a facet type.

Substitution is done through `SubstPeriodSelf`. It handles replacing
`.Self` and `.Self as type`, for a replacement facet that is either of
type FacetType or TypeType.

Eval currently diagnoses some ambiguous `.Self` references when doing
substitution of `.Self` but this is the incorrect place to do it, so
there are TODOs about moving this to name lookup. To support these
diagnostics there's some additional complexity in `SubstPeriodSelf` that
can go away once the TODOs are addressed, such as asking the caller if
they want to replace each `.Self`, in order for it to report a
diagnostic.

There are a number of follow-up work items here:
- Some TODO tests.
- Remove `SymbolicBindingType` since its intention was to support
`.Self` but we don't need it with this approach.
- Replace `.Self` in rewrite constraints of require decls.
- Replace `.Self` in rewrite constraints of impl as when constructing
the witness table.
- Reject explicit `.Self` in name lookup when it would be ambiguous.
- Officially disallow `.Self.A = B` in rewrite constraints in the design
docs, so that we don't have the case where `.A` is allowed but `.Self.A`
is not due to ambiguity.

Dana Jansens d6be20641c Use earlier require decls inside a named constraint to provide witnesses for Self (#6915)
Performing a lookup against `Self` inside the definition of the named
constraint leads to cycles, as described in the document [Self
contradictions in Named
Constraints](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17rn2XmME8o2MM4OJqatSVuMa1iYZ1PAgcNrf0PXR9Q4/edit?tab=t.0).
To prevent those cycles, this change introduces a large refactoring of
impl lookup.

The impl lookup done inside eval is reduced to only performing
monomorphization. That is it:
- Only looks for an provides final witnesses.
- Is not allowed to identify the facet type of the query self.
- Returns either a final witness or None (or an error)

The paths for finding non-final witnesses are now done outside of eval,
directly in the initial `LookupImplWitness()` function. If no final
witness it found through eval, the resulting non-final
`LookupImplWitness` instruction witness is returned. It does not produce
cycles to identify the facet type of query self outside of eval, since
that does not result in repeating the identification when resolving
specifics of the named constraint or require decl.

Move the ArrayStack for Context::require_impls_stack into a new class
which tracks a NamedConstraintId (or InterfaceId) for each frame of
RequireImplsIds, so that in type completion we always can find the
correct frame for a given named constraint which is still being defined,
in order to find the RequireImplsIds in the in-progress definition.

bc38deb16c adds witness support for associated types (#6937)
This commit creates an instance for any associated types in an interface
with a custom witness table. This unlocks interfaces designed for C++
interop that rely on arbitrary return types. For example,
`CppUnsafeDeref` becomes usable as of this commit.

This commit may have also implemented support for non-type associated
constants, but since we're lacking a practical test case, they're still
marked as TODO for the time being.

Dana Jansens 6359e3f550 Dedupe self values in identify facet type (#6819)
The self value can be a facet-value or a facet-value-as-type. The self
value used in `require` decls is the former. The the self value used for
identifying the facet type is the latter, we end up with two different
required interfaces in the identified facet type: one for each self
value.

Always canonicalize the self value to a facet value in identification.
Then dedupe the list of extend interfaces when constructing the
`IdentifiedFacetType` before counting them. And then impl lookup needs
to canonicalize its query self for comparing with the result from the
`IdentifiedFacetType`.

Dana Jansens 142596b49c Diagnose unidentified type-of-self in impl lookup query (#6769)
The type of the query self is looked into for a witness, but that type
may be unable to be identified. For example when the query is against
`Self` inside the declaration of a named constraint. Before this PR, we
would crash when identification failed. Now we produce a diagnostic.

This makes `RequireIdentifiedFacetType` take a `ContextScope` callback
(like it used to with an `AnnotationScope` callback) since all callers
now expect to handle diagnostics, and can provide useful context.

This is a followup to #6761.

Dana Jansens fbc8d59d32 Introduce Diagnostics::ContextScope and remove diagnoser callbacks in type completion (#6761)
Introduces `Context` and `SoftContext` messages, which can be introduced
through a `ContextBuilder`:
- The `Context` messages come before the diagnostic in the output.
- The first `Context` message steals the diagnostic level from the main
diagnostic, and turns the main diagnostic into a Note attached to the
context.
- A `SoftContext` message works similarly, but if it's preceeded by a
`Context` or `SoftContext` message, then it is dropped. This can be used
as a default/backup scope when nothing more interesting is provided up
the stack, such as in `TryEvalBlockForSpecific`.

The `ContextBuilder` is provided to a callback through
`Diagnostics::ContextScope`, an RAII type `AnnotationScope` but for
context messages.

This allows a high level operation to provide a context message like
"failed to identify facet type {0}" which will then be used as the error
if a diagnostic is produced during identification, with the latter
diagnostic attached as a note to explain why the contextual operation
failed.

In particular, this allows monomorphization errors (such as an array
bound being negative) to be attached to a higher lever operation instead
of being top-level diagnostics themselves, with the monomorphization
site being a note. This inverts the source code locations that appear in
the diagnostic, so that the top-level diagnostic points to the "user
code" which causes the monomorphization.

This is presented as an alternative strategy to #6753, which plumbed
diagnoser callbacks around to achieve the same goals.

We replace the diagnoser callbacks in type completion and operators with
ContextScope callbacks instead, which now provide better diagnostics for
monomorphization errors. Other callers to MakeSpecific do not yet have
ContextScopes introduced in order to turn monomorphization errors into
more interesting diagnostics.

Dana Jansens 32aa7cb1fa Make identifying a facet type an operation on a (self+facet type) pair (#6592)
Identifying a facet type takes both a self and facet type as a pair, and
then encode the self into the IdentifiedFacetType. This makes a
constraint that requires some _other_ type implements an interface
visible in the IdentifiedFacetType. And it will help to enable facet
types with `where T impls Z` for `T` that is not `.Self` in the future.

IdentifiedFacetTypes are now stored in a CanonicalValueStore instead of
a RelationalValueStore as they key is the combination of self and
(declared) facet type together now.

When the self-type is a facet value (has type FacetType) this is most
straightforward. But when it's a type we need to construct a FacetValue
to construct a specific for a require decl, to replace the generic
binding of the symbolic `Self`, which has type FacetType. To do so, we
make a FacetValue with an empty FacetType (equivalent to TypeType). This
prevents any looking for witnesses through the FacetType, which matches
what you can get from a type directly, requiring witnesses to come from
finding an `impl` decl.

Add additional InstNamer logic for such empty facet types so they print
as `<typename>.type.facet` if possible instead of as just `facet_value`.

Jon Ross-Perkins c5eba90317 Change Destroy to use a CustomWitness instead of a blanket impl (#6512)
Pursuant to recent decisions on #6124, switch `Destroy` to use a
`CustomWitness` for its implementation. Right now this is manufacturing
no-op implementation functions on each lookup, which obviously isn't
ideal but is intended as a first pass. I'm mostly trying to find the
right balance between updating the approach to reflect new decisions,
while still breaking apart work in a way.

The `CoreInterface` logic is intended to build on `CoreIdentifier`
support. We have a number of additional interfaces that require
specialized logic, and that'll extend pretty far with C++ interop, so it
seemed easiest to have a generic function for it. That's what's
replacing the logic inside C++ interop that was doing string comparisons
(which could have already been moved to `CoreIdentifier`, I just missed
it in my first pass).

This adds `CustomWitness` support because the `Destroy` witnesses can be
imported cross-file. `CustomWitness` was previously only used for C++
types, which don't yet support import, which is why that wasn't
previously an issue. The addition of `query_specific_interface_id` is
similarly needed in order to get correct sorting of witness blocks when
imported.

This PR also removes builtin constraint logic (note this is in a
separate commit to help review; it's not a separate PR because it's
difficult to split apart without tests breaking). This had been made
generic with the expectation that destroy, copy, move, and conversions
would all need related support. Under the new decision, we are not going
to do blanket impls and will instead just manufacture a `CustomWitness`
for everything.

A lot of SemIR fingerprints change, but that's probably because the
addition of `Destroy` on core classes is yielding structural changes.

Jon Ross-Perkins b34e349792 Push GetFacetAsType from impl_lookup to custom_witness (#6520)
This delays the conversion of `query_self_const_id` until the actual
witness creation, mainly so that users of `BuildCustomWitness` don't
need to do extra work to ensure `GetFacetAsType` logic is
shared/applied. This is coming up for destroy logic.

Jon Ross-Perkins 2543d2ea4f Add CoreInterface for consistent tracking of CoreIdentifier interfaces (#6516)
We're going to want to track `Destroy` and some other interfaces in ways
similar to what the C++ logic wants. Rather than having both do their
own comparisons with similar values, this tries to centralize logic.

Note the prior
`context.identifiers().Get(interface.name_id.AsIdentifierId())` is also
obsolete due to #6486, this is just replacing it in a single swoop and
avoiding string comparisons as a consequence.

Dana Jansens 5efed204a2 Make EvalLookupSingleImplWitness shorter (#6517)
This reduces the function size from ~180 to 133. It removes early outs
once we begin the process of doing an impl lookup so that we cache the
result unconditionally at the end. It removes a second fallback call to
look for a C++ witness by tracking additional information about the
`Impl` that was found (if any) and just do the C++ lookup in one place
afterward.

Richard Smith c77eebd15e Cache final impl lookup results. (#6452)
If an impl lookup finds a final result, cache that and reuse it if we
perform the same lookup later.

In addition to reducing repeated work, this allows us to produce the
same result for repeated lookups that find a C++ operator. This isn't a
great solution to that problem, as it's not clear how to extend it to
behave correctly across import, but we don't have a solution for that
for C++ interop in general.

372f632d9d Implement support for copying C++ classes. (#6434)
When performing impl lookup for `Core.Copy` for a C++ class type, look
for a copy constructor. If we find one, synthesize an impl witness that
calls the constructor.

This adds initial support for impl lookup to delegate to the C++ interop
logic for queries involving C++ types. For now, we don't implement the
rules from #6166 that compare a synthesized type structure for the C++
impl against the best Carbon type structure, but the framework for
building that support is established here.

Currently there is no caching of the lookup here, and we build unique
`ImplWitnessTable`s for each lookup, which leads to each impl lookup
producing a distinct facet value. This results in some errors in generic
contexts; this will be addressed in follow-up changes. This PR aims only
to support the non-generic case.

Dana Jansens 0cf2448505 Get specific interfaces with correct specific from named constraints (#6435)
When forming an IdentifiedFacetType, we collect interfaces named by
require decls in named constraints that the facet type refers to. These
interfaces come with a specific, but the require decl is inside an named
constraint which may be generic. So we need the specific being applied
to the containing named constraint to also be applied to the require
decl and its target interfaces.

This uncovered that the facet type in require decls was not being
imported correctly, as it was not being attached to the require decl's
generic. This is fixed by making import of RequireImplsDecl multiphase,
so that the decl instruction exists before we resolve the facet type
within it. And by pointing the generic importing machinery to the
RequireImplsDecl, and from there to the RequireImpls structure to get
the generic id.

Then `ImplStore::GetOrAddLookupBucket` can use an IdentifiedFacetType to
correctly get the interface being impl'd, both in the local and the
imported named constraint case. Which allows us to correctly diagnose
redeclarations in the impl file of an impl of an interface through a
named constraint. And to correctly _not_ diagnose them when the specific
in the generic named constraint differs from other decls.

Jon Ross-Perkins 93a8c5230c Ensure a symbolic final impl has a definition produced (#6236)
Right now, the impl lookup can both fail to resolve the specific
definition because it's symbolic, and return a "final" constant because
it's a `final impl`. This is adding an instruction to help ensure the
specific is resolved.

The constant evaluation is fully recursive, but I'm not adding a TODO
since that's a known issue with impl lookup in general.

Dana Jansens e62678e682 Identify and complete facet types as needed for p5168 (#6369)
Proposal #5168 defines when a facet type must be identified or complete,
and what it means for an interface and a named constraint to be
identified or complete. This updates the toolchain to match the
requirements.

This implements identification of a facet type to require completed
named constraints and to include any interfaces from named constraints
into the resulting IdentifiedFacetType.

To complete a facet type, each interface in the IdentifiedFacetType, and
any interface named though a require declaration from them, must be
complete.

Dana Jansens acb7810e32 Avoid crashing when an impl decl has a missing definition (#6349)
When the missing definition is diagnosed at the end of the file, the
witness is set to an error. Impl lookup was skipping impls entirely when
the witness was an error, which means a non-final LookupImplWitness
could be later evaluated against a specific and crash since the lookup
fails instead of returning the error.

The same crash could also occur when verifying poisoned queries hadn't
changed, but now it can find an ErrorInst witness instead, so it is
changed to handle that gracefully.
