David BlaikieandRichard Smith dfed743de2 Add vtable pointers to class layout (#4407)
A small step to virtual functions - adding vtable pointers to the
layout, but not initializing or otherwise using them at this stage.

A few open design questions I'd love feedback on:

* Is this the right/good enough SemIR representation for now? This patch
adds a `is_dynamic` attribute to `SemIR::Class` and populates/flags it
based on the flag of the base class, or if any virtual function is
declared in the class (or, at least that's my intent). Some other
options include:
* Each `Class` could store a `ClassId` (or `TypeId`?) of the (possibly
indirect, possibly self) base class that is the first one that is
dynamic/has a vtable pointer
* Could make the property narrower, like `has vtable pointer` and have
it `true` only on the type that introduces the vtable - then derived
classes would have to walk their base classes to check if they're the
one that needs to define the vtable pointer or not
* Should the vtable be the first element in the type? If there's a
non-dynamic base type, we could have a layout that's `{<non-dynamic base
type>, vtable ptr, <derived members>}`? Derived types would still be
able to uniquely identify where their vtable pointer is just fine... -
and the vtable pointer is, in a sense, a member of that intermediate
type, so it does seem a bit strange to force it to the front - but I
guess it's probably more efficient in some ways?

Open to any other suggestions/advice/thoughts on the direction, etc.
