Implementation of unused pattern bindings #2022, continued.
Whereas previous PR #6460 took care of parsing, and PR #6479 prepared
the stage by using _ in some test cases, this PR has the the actual
implementation, using a simple dataflow analysis.

GetCallee returns a structure with SpecificIds in it, and then those
specifics are used to later get constant values. This is fine when those
specifics are canonical, but it's problematic when they are not, because
non-canonical specifics (from a generic eval block) do not ever have any
resolved decl/defn blocks.
Formatting in particular works with non-canonical instructions when it
formats a generic eval block. We want to be able to format the block,
but those specifics are not useful for constant value mapping/lookup.
GetCallee grabs (non-canonical) instruction ids out of other
instructions. When getting a SpecificId out of an instruction, it should
map that instruction to the canonical value first. This means the
specific will be resolved and can be used for constant value mapping
later.
Fixes#6677
While convert has the option to avoid diagnostics, when that flag is
false, ErrorInst results must also produce a diagnostic. Otherwise we
end up with errors in the semir but not error provided to the user.
The new diagnostics reveal that a number of tests for abstract types
were passing incorrectly. They had errors in the semir but no
diagnostics. A TODO is added in convert to allow an abstract conversion
target type when not initializing.
Currently each interface has a `Self` facet internally that becomes a
binding to every entity inside the interface: associated constants,
functions, and require decls. Each of these has to be independently
generic as a result. This makes is challenging in extended name lookup
to move into an extended scope of an interface, as we have a specific
for the interface, but the names within require a different specific
that includes a `Self` facet value.
We generalize this relationship by adding a second generic to Interface,
called `generic_with_self`. When we want to work with entities inside
the interface, we move from the interface-without-specific to the
interface-with-self specific by adding a Self to the specific. This is
done independently of any particular entity inside the Interface, as
those entities are now all members of the interface-with-self generic.
Associated constants no longer need a generic of their own, as they do
not have separate generic bindings. Functions retain a generic, but if
the function has no generic arguments, it will have no bindings of its
own now.
Require decls retain a generic so that their specific can be
instantiated separately from the interface. Requiring the interface to
be complete does not require the types in a require decl to be complete
unless it is modified by `extend`. So we allow them to be completed
later by keeping them in a separate generic.
Named constraints look like interfaces and gain the additional inner
generic-with-self, with the same relationship to require decls.
This removes the need for name lookup to perform Substitution of a Self
facet into the extended scope instruction. Instead, the
`SpecificConstant` instruction inserted by a `require` decl is part of
the interface-with-self generic. When looking through a FacetType for
extended scopes, for each interface, we push the scope with the specific
for the interface-with-self. Then the constant value of the
`SpecificConstant` is correctly modified by the provided self
automatically through applying that specific.
Add support for `BranchWithArg` and `BlockArg` during compile-time
function execution. We only track the most recent block arg value for
now, because that's all we need -- we never look at a block argument for
any block other than the current one.
Also refactor `FunctionExecContext` to better encapsulate the blocks
list.
Allow an argc parameter and an argv parameter to be passed. For now we
check that argc is an i32 and argv is a pointer. The rules here are not
yet decided -- see #6735 -- but we should at least allow C-style access
to argv for now in order to unblock experimentation.
This TODO had been written before C++ types were generating destroy
implementations, which is resolved now.

A non-self require decl in an interface does not mean that a type
implementing that interface also implements the required interface. But
it does mean that whatever the self-type is will implement the required
interface.
This is related to #6727, but is generally a necessary fix even without
that issue. I'm not adding a specific test of #6727 because it should
also be covered by the tests in #6726.

Add support for compile-time functions. `eval fn` is analogous to C++
`constexpr`, and is evaluated at compile time when it has compile-time
arguments. `musteval fn` is analogous to C++ `consteval`, and requires
that its arguments be available at compile time and is always evaluated
at compile time. For now we require the modifier to match across
redeclarations of the function. The specific modifier syntax here is a
placeholder and not yet part of an approved design.
Limitations: Only very basic support for evaluation is provided. So far
there's no support for mutable state or `if` expressions, but otherwise
control flow and passing and returning values should work. Carbon
evaluation recursion is modeled by C++ recursion for now, so you can
overflow the toolchain stack easily. Functions that use in-place
initialization will generally not work yet, as they are modeled as
passing a non-compile-time-constant reference to a temporary to the
call.
Add missing categorization of `name_binding_decl` as `NotExpr` to match
other similar declaration instructions like `FunctionDecl`, so that we
can uniformly skip over them when they occur within function bodies.

Dropping the SemIR dump significantly decreases the size of these test
files. This is a good tradeoff since the interesting signal from these
tests is provided by `AssertSameType` not causing an error.

I need to do more work on the custom witness functions. This is trying
to make it easier to see the differences between the approaches before I
resume work there (e.g. this helps flag a possible reason I was having
trouble switching definitions when it came to generics, I think those
are mishandled right now).
This changes the thunk test because it was doing
`CheckFunctionDefinitionSignature` in a different order from
`handle_function.cpp`, and I think `handle_function.cpp` is more
canonical here (changing that affects tests with defined functions).

Functions in an interface definition are wrapped in an AssociatedEntity
instruction, which the logic for finding a previous declaration must
unwrap to find the FunctionDecl.
This is controlled by the NameScope::is_interface_definition() flag,
which is true for interfaces, and causes this extra wrapping to occur
when adding the function to the scope.
The primary change in this PR is to split the `Initializing` expression
category into separate `ReprInitializing` and `InPlaceInitializing`
categories, depending on whether initialization uses the types
initializing representation, or is guaranteed to be in place. It also
rationalizes and documents the SemIR-level semantics of those categories
(including where #5545's "ephemeral entire reference" category will
fit), and introduces two new inst kinds to close gaps exposed in the
process.
Some additional secondary changes:
- Consistently format the storage arguments of initializers with `to`,
regardless of whether initialization is in-place, and document the `to`
notation.
- Rename some inst kinds and functions, and restructure some of the
code, for clarity and consistency with the new documentation.
- Resolve a TODO to handle more category conversions in
`CategoryConverter`, in order to make it easier to reason about category
conversions.
See #6588 and the review history of this PR for background.

For example, see toolchain/check/testdata/class/fail_incomplete.carbon
for the diagnostic changes. `IncompleteTypeInFunctionReturnType` should
remain, while the redundant `IncompleteTypeInFunctionParam` is removed.
Note I'm deliberately trying to validate the return type after other
parameters, because I think that's the better user experience. This does
also incrementally change IR.
Add a new builtin function `cpp.std.initializer_list.make` that takes an
array and returns a `std::initializer_list`, initialized to refer to
that array. When C++ initialization wants to perform a
`std::initializer_list`-from-array construction, synthesize a
declaration of a matching builtin function and use that to perform the
initialization.
Ideally we would specify this conversion as an impl of `ImplicitAs` in
the prelude instead of hardcoding it in the interop layer, but
unfortunately that's not currently possible, for various reasons -- we
can't make the conversion form-generic, we can't deduce the array length
from the initializer, and we can't deduce against the arguments of
imported C++ class templates yet -- so for now synthesizing a builtin
function on demand is the best we can do.

The general strategy here is to import the constructor with a signature
that directly matches the argument. The intent is that the imported
function will eventually be usable directly as the `ImplicitAs.Convert`
function in a generated `impl`.
For initialization from a tuple, for example `(1, 2)`, we import the
selected constructor with a signature that takes a tuple pattern:
`fn Class.Class((a: i32, b: i32)) -> Class;`
In order to support that, this PR also adds support in general for tuple
patterns in function signatures. It turns out the implementation was
already very close to allowing this.

When performing an implicit conversion to or from a C++ class type, look
for a C++ implicit conversion, and if that conversion involves a
function call (to a constructor or conversion function), call that
function to perform the conversion.
Note that this is just a first pass at supporting implicit conversions.
There are a lot of other things that can happen in a C++ implicit
conversion, such as aggregate initialization or `std::initializer_list`
initialization that aren't handled here. In addition, we intentionally
leave all standard conversions to Carbon to perform, so that we will
reject conversions such as `i32 -> unsigned` that C++ would select but
Carbon considers to be invalid.
Also support `as` conversions. These are treated analogously, but
perform direct-initialization instead of copy-initialization, so they
also find `explicit` constructors and conversion functions.
In order to give good diagnostics, also track the original C++ source
location for imported C++ functions on the imported version of the
function.

This pull request adds support for integer-to-char conversion, allowing
the compiler to correctly handle character casting, implementing part of
the issue #5922.
```carbon
import Core library "io";
fn Run() -> i32 {
var i : i32 = 65;
var ch: char = (i as char); // Support implemented!
Core.PrintChar(ch); // Print 'A'
return 0;
}

We can now cast directly from `T*` to `U*`; stop going via `void*`. Also
remove the conversion impl from `void*` as it's now subsumed by the
general impl.
When performing C++ overload resolution with an argument that is of
Carbon struct or tuple type, form a braced initializer list as the
placeholder argument. Note that this only affects overload resolution;
no new support for actually converting structs or tuples to C++ types is
added. In particular, while this does allow an empty class to be
initialized from `{}`, it does not allow a non-empty C++ class to be
initialized from a struct, as that is not yet supported in general.

When doing name lookup into an extended scope of an interface or named
constraint, the containing scope has an inner `Self` facet which can
appear in the specific of the extended scope. For instance a constraint
`N` which requires an interface `Z(Self)`:
```js
constraint N {
extend require impls Z(Self);
}
```
When doing member lookup into a facet constrained by `N`, we need to
find the specific interface `Z(...)` where the `Self` is replaced by the
self-type the member lookup is happening on in order for impl lookup to
find a witness later.
Inside that specific interface we repeat the name lookup to find an
associated entity. Then to produce a witness we perform impl lookup
against the specific interface that name lookup returned with the
self-type of the member access. So if we do member access into `A:! N`
for a member `F`, like `A.F`, we would be doing impl lookup with a query
self of `A` and looking for the interface `Z(...)` returned from name
lookup.
When impl lookup has a facet as the query self, which we do here as `A`,
it takes its type (a facet type) and identifies it to find all the
required interfaces, and it substitutes the query self into those
specific interfaces for `Self`. If the `Z(...)` we acquired from name
lookup is `Z(Self)` it will fail the lookup for `A as Z(Self)`, since in
the facet type of `A` it finds a witness for `Z(A)` instead.
Thus, we replace the inner `Self` in extended scopes, such as `N`, with
the self-type of the member access, which produces the extended scope
`Z(A)` for this example. This allows the impl lookup for `A as Z(A)` to
find a witness from the facet type of `A`.
In order to do this, we include an instruction for the inner self when
registering the extended scope. Then, when we find the extended scope in
name lookup, we can use its CompileTimeBindIndex to replace any instance
of that `Self` facet with a new facet. If the self-type of member access
is a type, we construct a FacetValue with an empty facet type that
refers to the type.
If `Self` is not in the self type, then it must be an argument to every
interface required by the declaration. Specifically, this means the
interfaces in the identified facet type, and does not matter if `Self`
appears in the arguments of named constraints.
Fix the diagnostic to stop saying "constraint" incorrectly. And improve
clarity by including in the diagnostic which interface it found without
`Self` as an argument, since it may be found in some other named
constraint, rather than directly in the facet type as written.
Add the required facet type as an extended scope of the containing
interface/named constraint, and teach name lookup to look for extended
scopes in named constraints.
This makes name lookup work properly when the facet type does not have a
specific that involves `Self`. Support for `Self` needs further work in
another PR.
Note that when an _interface_ requires another interface, this PR lets
us find the name, but we still fail to find a witness for the interface
named through `extend require`, and this is future work. For a named
constraint, things work correctly as the identified facet type chases
through the named constraint and includes the required interface, so
impl lookup is able to provide a witness.
An interface A requiring another interface B means that an impl of A
must verify that the self-type also impls B. The instructions created
from this can involved a lookup that the self-type impls A, which end up
finding the impl being defined. This is not problematic of itself, but
it is problematic if these lookup instructions become part of the impl's
generic definition. When we find a specific of that `impl as A` during
impl lookup of A, and we resolve the specific definition, those lookup
instructions are replayed. Doing so does another lookup for `impl as A`,
which creates an infinitely recursive loop.
To break this loop we move the lookup instructions done to verify that
the self-type impls B outside of the definition of `impl as A`. This
prevents them from being specialized. But it doesn't prevent us from
diagnosing monomorphization errors properly. They just get diagnosed at
the use of that invalid specific, instead of inside the verification of
`impl as B` in the definition of `impl as A`.
This gets us a step closer toward resolving TODOs in member access
around facets, by making the lookup into a facet value a "lookup in
base" operation instead of a "lookup in type of base". However the base
given to find scopes in still remains the facet type of the facet, which
is still a TODO.
Then we can simplify the "lookup in type of base" case a bit, with a
single code path doing the name lookup step. But we keep a TODO where if
the type of base is a facet, we change the lookup target to be the facet
type of the facet instead.
This is toward having name lookup into an interface that is extending a
named constraint work correctly with a `Self` in its specific. To
perform that name lookup, we will need to tell name lookup what is the
base, so that it can replace `Self` with the base. This change gets us
in a position where we can correctly provide the base in the `T.F()`
(lookup in facet) and `t.F()` (lookup in type of facet) correctly and
straightforwardly.
We provide a marginally improved diagnostic when looking into a facet
with an incomplete facet type, which will move into
AppendLookupScopesForConstant once we are looking into the facet
directly instead of its type.
Members of `std::string_view` can't be accessed directly, because that
type maps into Carbon's `str` type (`Core.String`), so member access
doesn't find the C++ members. But they can be named via qualified name
lookup into a derived type. That crashed because we didn't expect the
non-Cpp type `Core.String` to be the parent of a Cpp-imported member.
Plus add some more test coverage for related cases (not involving `str`)
that already worked.
