- Subdivide toolchain/driver:driver into granular subcommand targets
(compile_subcommand, format_subcommand, lld_subcommand, etc.) to enable
independent compilation and linking.
- Decouple Target and TargetMachine options from driver headers.
- Prune unused direct dependencies across toolchain BUILD files.

Move `--output-last-file-only` and output filename synthesis logic out
of the general-purpose compile driver and into the `carbon compile`
subcommand, which is the only thing that should be using them. Track on
CompilationUnit whether it is being lowered, or whether it exists only
to be imported into other units.
`carbon compile` now never lowers inputs that it discovered for itself,
only inputs that were specified on the command line. In particular, it
doesn't lower (and throw away the result of lowering) the prelude any
more. This makes the toolchain tests about 10% faster in my crude
measurements.
Also, we now do not create a clang `CodeGenerator` for input files that
we are not lowering, similarly saving compilation time for units that
exist only to be imported, not lowered.
One minor change: we use the same mechanism to determine whether an
input is being lowered and to determine what the output filename is.
This means that `--phase=lower` and `--phase=optimize`, which lower but
don't produce an output file, still need an output filename to be
specified now in some cases. Given those are just debugging tools, I
think that's fine.

It's hard to track 2-space indent levels across large vertical gaps, and
it can be hard to suppress the instinct to read the dump as if it were
preorder. This change introduces a new dump mode that addresses both
problems by using box-drawing characters to explicitly represent the
parent-child edges of the tree. This new mode is the default, but the
old behavior remains available with
`--parse-dump-format=yaml-postorder`.
Instead of building one Clang `ASTContext` per compilation, the
`--share-cpp-ast` flag causes us to build a single `ASTContext` and
share it across all contexts. One new abstraction is added: `CppDomain`
represents the Carbon-side view of a Clang AST that might be shared
across multiple `SemIR::File`s. This object owns the Clang instance and
the AST.
For now, we have no isolation between the C++ state exposed to different
Carbon compilations, and we have no multiplexing of generated LLVM IR
from C++ into different Carbon compilations, so the mode is not usable
yet. The plan is to keep it behind a flag until it's ready.

Refactors the link driver to automatically compile and cache the carbon
prelude for use in linking.
Implements a `carbon_library` rule for compiling the Core library
dependencies in the examples.
Support multi-file compilation, and in particular imports of files from
the prelude, in `carbon language_server`.
In order to properly interface with `CompileDriver`, also switch over to
building a proper VFS from the documents we're given.

This is the first draft of the implementation of
[p6333](https://docs.carbon-lang.dev/proposals/p6333.html).
The `build` subcommand shared logic with the `compile` and `link`
subcommands,
so I've moved some of the functionality in `compile` and `link` to
shared
`CompileDriver` and `LinkDriver` classes, respectively. This also
required exposing the
`CompileOptions` and `LinkOptions` subcommand structs for re-use.
There's still some work to do on the proposal, most notably the package
include automatic path resolution and import, and the refactors to
`carbon compile`.
