Richard Smith d37f1ae6b5 Add return value support to C++ thunks. (#5976)
Based on #5948. A couple of tricky parts:

* When generating the C++ side of the thunk, we are given a pointer to
the location to emplace the return value. The only mechanism C++
provides to perform this emplacement is using placement `operator new`,
which requires a library function in the `<new>` header. We handle this
by declaring that library function ourselves, and rely on Clang not
actually needing a definition for it (which the standard library owns).

* On the Carbon side of the thunk, we want to form an initializing
expression as the result of the call. We don't have a way of expressing
in SemIR that an initializing expression performs its initialization by
storing through a pointer, so this PR adds a new initializing
instruction, `InPlaceInit`, to model an initialization that's performed
opaquely in-place.
