Dana JansensandRichard Smith 76c68153a2 Look for final impl when accessing associated constant in facet (#5269)
While facets may come with a rewrite for an associated constant, they
are symbolic. A final impl has the ability to provide a concrete value
instead, which allows generic code to use the concrete value in place of
the associated constant's (fully qualified) name.

For instance, instead of `I.Type`, the concrete type `()` can be used if
there is an `impl final [T:! type] T as I where .Type = ()` impl.

This does not yet cache the result of the lookups.

Depends on https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/5255
