This change modifies the current language by requiring explicit `self` parameter declaration
for methods. Methods without `self` parameter in the first position should be treated as statics
although that is not yet part of this PR. We add an implicit self to all methods
This obviously required updating the whole stdlib and its components, tests etc but the change
is pretty straightforward in the diff.
Notice that this change **does not** change method dispatch, which was removed in the last changes.
This was done on purpose to simplify the implementation for now. We will likely still remove all
those implicit selfs to bring true statics.
Minor caveat - since `main` doesn't actually need self, already removed that which simplified
a lot of code.
More and more often I need a way to only recover a specific type of a dataflow error (in a similar manner as with panics). So the API for `Error.catch` has been amended to more closely resemble `Panic.catch`, allowing to handle only specific types of dataflow errors, passing others through unchanged. The default is `Any`, meaning all errors are caught by default, and the behaviour of `x.catch` remains unchanged.
Modified UppercaseNames to now resolve methods without an explicit `here` to point to the current module.
`here` was also often used instead of `self` which was allowed by the compiler.
Therefore UppercaseNames pass is now GlobalNames and does some extra work -
it translated method calls without an explicit target into proper applications.
# Important Notes
There was a long-standing bug in scopes usage when compiling standalone expressions.
This resulted in AliasAnalysis generating incorrect graphs and manifested itself only in unit tests
and when running `eval`, thus being a bit hard to locate.
See `runExpression` for details.
Additionally, method name resolution is now case-sensitive.
Obsolete passes like UndefinedVariables and ModuleThisToHere were removed. All tests have been adapted.
A semi-manual s/this/self appied to the whole standard library.

In the compiler promoted to use constants instead of hardcoded
`this`/`self` whenever possible.
# Important Notes
The PR **does not** require explicit `self` parameter declaration for methods as this part
of the design is still under consideration.
- Removed `select` method.
- Removed `group` method.
- Removed `Aggregate_Table` type.
- Removed `Order_Rule` type.
- Removed `sort` method from Table.
- Expanded comments on `order_by`.
- Update comment on `aggregate` on Database.
- Update Visualisation to use new APIs.
- Updated Data Science examples to use new APIs.
- Moved Examples test out of Tests to own test.
# Important Notes
Need to get Examples_Tests added to CI.
Auto-generate all builtin methods for builtin `File` type from method signatures.
Similarly, for `ManagedResource` and `Warning`.
Additionally, support for specializations for overloaded and non-overloaded methods is added.
Coverage can be tracked by the number of hard-coded builtin classes that are now deleted.
## Important notes
Notice how `type File` now lacks `prim_file` field and we were able to get rid off all of those
propagating method calls without writing a single builtin node class.
Similarly `ManagedResource` and `Warning` are now builtins and `Prim_Warnings` stub is now gone.
This PR replaces hard-coded `@Builtin_Method` and `@Builtin_Type` nodes in Builtins with an automated solution
that a) collects metadata from such annotations b) generates `BuiltinTypes` c) registers builtin methods with corresponding
constructors.
The main differences are:
1) The owner of the builtin method does not necessarily have to be a builtin type
2) You can now mix regular methods and builtin ones in stdlib
3) No need to keep track of builtin methods and types in various places and register them by hand (a source of many typos or omissions as it found during the process of this PR)

Benchmarks also execute within the margin of error.
### Important Notes
The PR got a bit large over time as I was moving various builtin types and finding various corner cases.
Most of the changes however are rather simple c&p from Builtins.enso to the corresponding stdlib module.
Here is the list of the most crucial updates:
- `engine/runtime/src/main/java/org/enso/interpreter/runtime/builtin/Builtins.java` - the core of the changes. We no longer register individual builtin constructors and their methods by hand. Instead, the information about those is read from 2 metadata files generated by annotation processors. When the builtin method is encountered in stdlib, we do not ignore the method. Instead we lookup it up in the list of registered functions (see `getBuiltinFunction` and `IrToTruffle`)
- `engine/runtime/src/main/java/org/enso/interpreter/runtime/callable/atom/AtomConstructor.java` has now information whether it corresponds to the builtin type or not.
- `engine/runtime/src/main/scala/org/enso/compiler/codegen/RuntimeStubsGenerator.scala` - when runtime stubs generator encounters a builtin type, based on the @Builtin_Type annotation, it looks up an existing constructor for it and registers it in the provided scope, rather than creating a new one. The scope of the constructor is also changed to the one coming from stdlib, while ensuring that synthetic methods (for fields) also get assigned correctly
- `engine/runtime/src/main/scala/org/enso/compiler/codegen/IrToTruffle.scala` - when a builtin method is encountered in stdlib we don't generate a new function node for it, instead we look it up in the list of registered builtin methods. Note that Integer and Number present a bit of a challenge because they list a whole bunch of methods that don't have a corresponding method (instead delegating to small/big integer implementations).
During the translation new atom constructors get initialized but we don't want to do it for builtins which have gone through the process earlier, hence the exception
- `lib/scala/interpreter-dsl/src/main/java/org/enso/interpreter/dsl/MethodProcessor.java` - @Builtin_Method processor not only generates the actual code fpr nodes but also collects and writes the info about them (name, class, params) to a metadata file that is read during builtins initialization
- `lib/scala/interpreter-dsl/src/main/java/org/enso/interpreter/dsl/MethodProcessor.java` - @Builtin_Method processor no longer generates only (root) nodes but also collects and writes the info about them (name, class, params) to a metadata file that is read during builtins initialization
- `lib/scala/interpreter-dsl/src/main/java/org/enso/interpreter/dsl/TypeProcessor.java` - Similar to MethodProcessor but handles @Builtin_Type annotations. It doesn't, **yet**, generate any builtin objects. It also collects the names, as present in stdlib, if any, so that we can generate the names automatically (see generated `types/ConstantsGen.java`)
- `engine/runtime/src/main/java/org/enso/interpreter/node/expression/builtin` - various classes annotated with @BuiltinType to ensure that the atom constructor is always properly registered for the builitn. Note that in order to support types fields in those, annotation takes optional `params` parameter (comma separated).
- `engine/runtime/src/bench/scala/org/enso/interpreter/bench/fixtures/semantic/AtomFixtures.scala` - drop manual creation of test list which seemed to be a relict of the old design
Changelog:
- add: component groups to package descriptions
- add: `executionContext/getComponentGroups` method that returns component groups of libraries that are currently loaded
- doc: cleanup unimplemented undo/redo commands
- refactor: internal component groups datatype
Implements infrastructure for new aggregations in the Database. It comes with only some basic aggregations and limited error-handling. More aggregations and problem handling will be added in subsequent PRs.
# Important Notes
This introduces basic aggregations using our existing codegen and sets-up our testing infrastructure to be able to use the same aggregate tests as in-memory backend for the database backends.
Many aggregations are not yet implemented - they will be added in subsequent tasks.
There are some TODOs left - they will be addressed in the next tasks.
* Move to_upper_case and to_lower_case into to_case
* Add an export, not sure about it
* Implement title case
TODO: some more tests would be good
* Add more tests
* explain title case
* fix todo
* changelog
