Justus Klausecker b79bd31356 Sema: rework switch_block[_ref/_err_union] logic
This commit aims to simplify and de-duplicate the logic required for
semantically analyzing `switch` expressions.

The core logic has been moved to `analyzeSwitchBlock`, `resolveSwitchBlock`
and `finishSwitchBlock` and has been rewritten around the new iterator-based
API exposed by `Zir.UnwrappedSwitchBlock`.

All validation logic and switch prong item resolution have been moved to
`validateSwitchBlock`, which produces a `ValidatedSwitchBlock` containing
all the necessary information for further analysis.

`Zir.UnwrappedSwitchBlock`, `ValidatedSwitchBlock` and `SwitchOperand`
replace `SwitchProngAnalysis` while adding more flexibility, mainly for
better integration with `switch_block_err_union`.

`analyzeSwitchBlock` has an explicit code path for OPV types which lowers
them to either a `block`-`br` or a `loop`-`repeat` construct instead of a
switch. Backends expect `switch` to actually have an operand that exists
at runtime, so this is a bug fix and avoids further special cases in the
rest of the switch logic.
`resolveSwitchBlock` and `finishSwitchBr` exclusively deal with operands
which can have more than one value, at comptime and at runtime respectively.

This commit also reworks `RangeSet` to be an unmanaged container and adds
`Air.SwitchBr.BranchHints` to offload some complexity from Sema to there
and save a few bytes of memory in the process.

Additionally, some new features have been implemented:
- decl literals and everything else requiring a result type (`@enumFromInt`!)
  may now be used as switch prong items
- union tag captures are now allowed for all prongs, not just `inline` ones
- switch prongs may contain errors which are not in the error set being
  switched on, if these prongs contain `=> comptime unreachable`

and some bugs have been fixed:
- lots of issues with switching on OPV types are now fixed
- the rules around unreachable `else` prongs when switching on errors now
  apply to *any* switch on an error, not just to `switch_block_err_union`,
  and are applied properly based on the AST
- switching on `void` no longer requires an `else` prong unconditionally
- lazy values are properly resolved before any comparisons with prong items
- evaluation order between all kinds of switch statements is now the same,
  with or without label

Alex Rønne Petersen 2e3fac3626 test: rename backend=stage2 to backend=selfhosted, and add backend=auto
backend=auto (now the default if backend is omitted) means to let the compiler
pick whatever backend it wants as the default. This is important for platforms
where we don't yet have a self-hosted backend, such as loongarch64.

Also purge a bunch of redundant target=native.
