Chandler Carruth 01e12111a8 Auto-update pre-commit repositories and fix. (#3427)
The version of `flake8` was too old to support with Python 3.12 -- there
is new F-string support that caused false positives sadly. The updated
version has fixes for all of these.

This in turn updates codespell which has picked up several new fixes
that actually fire in our code, so also fix everything. While we don't
do more in-depth updates to old proposals, similar to simply fixing
broken links, fixing automatically detected typos seems scalable and
fine.

Bidirectional interoperability with C and C++

Table of contents

Philosophy and goals

The C++ interoperability layer of Carbon allows a subset of C++ APIs to be accessed from Carbon code, and similarly a subset of Carbon APIs to be accessed from C++ code. This requires expressing one language as a subset of the other. Bridge code may be needed to map some APIs into the relevant subset, but the constraints on expressivity should be loose enough to keep the amount of such bridge code sustainable.

The interoperability philosophy and goals provide more detail.
