Chandler CarruthandRichard Smith 94d2c1c6d4 Make proposal filenames use 6 digits and include the title (#7245 )

We've talked about adding the title to the filename several times over
the years and it seems really valuable. This requires us to compute a
"slug" for the title spelling that can be part of the filename.

Beyond that, we crossed 7000 recently, and so it seems likely that we
will need to add digits sooner rather than later here, so this goes
ahead and moves us to 6 digits so we don't have to adjust again for a
reasonable length of time.

To implement this and ensure we can sustain it going forward this adds a
tool to our pre-commit that validates (and corrects if needed) the
filename.

In order to update everything and keep links working, there are a _lot_
of changes, but the most interesting for direct review are in
`proposals/scripts`.

Control flow

Overview

Blocks of statements are generally executed linearly. However, statements are the primary place where this flow of execution can be controlled.

Carbon's flow control statements are:

if and else provides conditional execution of statements.
Loops:
- while executes the loop body for as long as the loop expression returns True.
- for iterates over an object, such as elements in an array.
- break exits loops.
- continue goes to the next iteration of a loop.
return ends the flow of execution within a function, returning it to the caller.
