David BlaikieandJon Ross-Perkins 5806d8385d Add SemIR support for virtual functions (#4272)
I guess this technically would also allow code to pass check that hasn't
before, and that isn't covered by tests (since it's masked by other
failures in the tests that already test this functionality) - should I
add another test/add some code to a valid test case?

Also, this'll miscompile in lowering, since there's no support there yet
- should I do anything about that to make lowering fail in some way? Or
is it acceptable that some things just silently mis-lower? (I could add
a currently-miscompiling test case too, to demonstrate this? (not sure
if the autogenerated tests leave space for comments that would explain
that the currently-tested behavior is incorrect?))

Is the addition to EntityWithParamsBase suitable? of course not all
functions can be virtual, so it's a wasted bit at the moment for all
those cases (though it's free, since it's bitpacked - but as we want to
add more bits in there it might not be a scalable solution)?
