Also document why these are expected on `CARBON_KIND`. In
`kind_switch_test.cpp`, drop the `str` variable.
My recollection of the original discussion of `CARBON_KIND` is that it
should always have braces due to the risk of confusion for statement
interpretation, similar to a typical `if`/`else` but more subtle due to
the macro.
For example:
```
case CARBON_KIND(int n):
str << "int = " << n;
return str.TakeStr();
```
is equivalent to:
```
case CARBON_KIND(int n): {
str << "int = " << n;
}
return str.TakeStr();
```
This happens to work in context because `str` isn't scoped, but a
trivial refactoring to move `RawStringOstream str;` the first statement
of the `case` would probably have non-obvious results. For example:
```
case CARBON_KIND(int n):
RawStringOstream str; // Valid name shadowing, destructed without use.
str << "int = " << n; // Name lookup error on `n`.
return str.TakeStr();
```
