The key changes are:
- Function output parameters are now prefixed with `out`, and more
consistently formatted as named parameters.
- Function and inst output arguments are now written as part of the inst
form, rather than as one of the inst arguments.
As a drive-by fix, this also changes `Temporary::storage_id` from
`DestInstId` to `InstId`, because it doesn't represent an output
parameter of the `Temporary` inst itself.
See the review of
[#6532](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6532) and
[this Discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/999638000126394370/1458268977020141589)
for additional background.
The main changes here are:
- Introducing `InitForm` and `RefForm` to represent initializing and
reference forms (the two return forms currently supported by the
parser).
- Introducing the `FormType` singleton inst to represent their type
(i.e. `Core.Form`).
- Emitting an inst representing a function's declared return form as
part of handling the function signature.
The return form inst is currently ignored. Subsequent PRs will expose it
in `SemIR::Function` and use it to determine the form of call
expressions.
Where `--no-dump-sem-ir` is used, change to `--dump-sem-ir-ranges=only`.
Otherwise, add `--dump-sem-ir-ranges=if-present` with a TODO to change
to `only`.
Note, SemIR is affected just because the extra comments change line
numbers in files where splits aren't in use.
