33110d096c Facet types support rewrite (where .A =...) constraints (#4613)
* Rewrite constraints are stored in a facet type, substituted, imported,
and formatted.
* We now distinguish `.Self` from other symbolic bindings in two ways:
* `.Self` itself now has an invalid compile time binding index (since it
doesn't bind to any of the generic parameters). As a result, we no
longer need to create a generic region in `handle_where.cpp`.
* There is a new phase tracking values that are only symbolic because
they transitively depend on `.Self`. This allows us to give the result
of a `where` expression template phase as long as it doesn't use any
symbolic constants other than `.Self` or other designators.
* `AddConstant` has been removed from `check/context` since it was only
used from `eval`. This meant less plumbing of the phase change.
* Evaluation of `BindSymbolicName` now also performs substitution into
its type.
* Include a bit more information in some diagnostics.
* `StringifyTypeExpr` outputs rewrites, which required adding support
for associated entities as well.
  * Associated entities now have an entity name set when importing.
* Adds tests for some interesting cases with rewrites and uses of
`.Self` mixed with other symbolic constants.

Still to do:
* There is no validation that any particular type satisfies rewrite
constraints.
  * Access to members of a facet type do not see the rewritten values.
* Impls don't recognize whether associated constants have rewrites
setting their values.
  * No support for resolving facet types.
