Richard Smith 6bbbd4ec1f More consistent package syntax (#3927 )

Change the syntax for `package` declarations from:

```carbon
[package Foo] [library "bar"] api;
[package Foo] [library "bar"] impl;
```

to

```carbon
[package Foo] [library "bar"];
impl [package Foo] [library "bar"];
```

Generics

This directory contains the collection of documents describing the generics feature of Carbon:

Overview - A high-level description of the generics design, with pointers to other design documents that dive deeper into individual topics
Goals - The motivation and principles guiding the design direction
Terminology - A glossary establishing common terminology for describing the design
Detailed design - In-depth description
- Appendix: Coherence - Describes the rationale for Carbon's choice to have coherent generics, and the alternatives.
- Appendix: Rewrite constraints - Describes the detailed rules governing rewrite constraints, and why resolving them terminates.
- Appendix: Witness tables - Describes an implementation strategy for checked generics, and Carbon's rationale for only using it for dynamic dispatch.
