Richard Smith c0b24047dd Interop support for initialization via std::initializer_list. (#6672)
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.
