Geoff RomerandRichard Smith e5b05a1fac ExprCategory for guaranteed-in-place initializing expressions (#6623)
The primary change in this PR is to split the `Initializing` expression
category into separate `ReprInitializing` and `InPlaceInitializing`
categories, depending on whether initialization uses the types
initializing representation, or is guaranteed to be in place. It also
rationalizes and documents the SemIR-level semantics of those categories
(including where #5545's "ephemeral entire reference" category will
fit), and introduces two new inst kinds to close gaps exposed in the
process.

Some additional secondary changes:
- Consistently format the storage arguments of initializers with `to`,
regardless of whether initialization is in-place, and document the `to`
notation.
- Rename some inst kinds and functions, and restructure some of the
code, for clarity and consistency with the new documentation.
- Resolve a TODO to handle more category conversions in
`CategoryConverter`, in order to make it easier to reason about category
conversions.

See #6588 and the review history of this PR for background.
