Jon Ross-Perkins 9704dc670e Change the Destroy blanket impls to be more specific (#6098)
The main direction of this change is the edits to `destroy.carbon`
(matching in both prelude and min_prelude).

Previously there was a no-op blanket impl for `Destroy`, which hid all
missing implementations of `Destroy`. This does a few things:

- Sets up builtin aggregate destruction for struct and tuple types as
before, but also adds C++ class types and array types to the same
handling. (all as a TODO for actual implementation)
- Also maybe-unformed destruction, for now at least. (there's a chance I
may try a different approach on this, but the impl lookup wasn't working
as I'd hope in order to write it in code)
- Adds handlers for simple things that are easy to do in code: `type`,
`bool`, pointers. (because these are no-op destruction)
- Redirect `const T` destruction to `T` destruction.

This leaves as future issues:

- `partial T` destruction. (this can't be done similar to `const`
because it only works for non-`final` class types; I think `class`
definitions should just generate what's needed)
- Destruction of other prelude-provided types. (will probably come up as
we implement class destruction, that the adapted builtin type doesn't
implement `Destroy` -- but may end up special-casing that in a way that
moots it)

This moves the `&` operator from `facet_types.carbon` to
`convert.carbon` because more things need to handle type and now that
we're getting separate copy and destroy interfaces. It should be
low-cost (an interface and builtin) so hopefully this is the right
balance for complexity and re-use.

A few tests are also edited in order to focus them more on what they
intend to test, and avoid a `Destroy` dependency.
