This improves the following test case:
```zig
pub fn main() !void {
try foo();
}
fn foo() !void {
return error.Bad;
}
```
The error return trace now points to the `try` token instead of pointing
to the foo() function call, matching stage1.
Closes#12308.
Sema: insert an error return trace frame when appropriate when analyzing
ret_load. Also optimize the instructions to avoid an unnecessary block
sent to the backends.
AstGen: always emit a dbg_stmt for return expressions, in between the
defer instructions and the return instruction.

Previously, struct types, alignment values, and initialization
expressions were all lowered into the same ZIR body, which caused false
positive "depends on itself" errors when the initialization expression
depended on the size of the struct.
This also uses ResultLoc.coerced_ty for struct field alignment and
initialization values. The resulting ZIR encoding ends up being roughly
the same, neither smaller nor larger than previously.
Closes#12029
This reverts commit 8bf3e1f8d0902abd4133e2729b3625c25011c3ff, which
introduced miscompilations for peer expressions any time they needed
coercions to runtime types.
I opened #11957 as a proposal to accomplish the goal of the reverted
commit.
Closes#11898
Whenever a `ref` instruction is needed, it is created and saved in
`AstGen.ref_table` instead of being immediately appended to the current
block body. Then, when the referenced instruction is being added to the
parent block (e.g. from setBlockBody), if it has a ref_table entry, then
the ref instruction is added directly after the instruction being referenced.
This makes sure two properties are upheld:
1. All pointers to the same locals return the same address. This is required
to be compliant with the language specification.
2. `ref` instructions will dominate their uses. This is a required property
of ZIR.
A complication arises when a ref instruction refs another ref
instruction. The logic in appendBodyWithFixups must take this into
account, recursively handling ref refs.
* Introduce "_ptr" variants of ZIR try instruction to disallow constructs
such as `try` on a pointer value instead of an error union value.
* Disable the "_inline" variants of the ZIR try instruction for now because
we are out of ZIR tags. I will free up some space in an independent commit.
* AstGen: fix tryExpr calling rvalue() on ResultLoc.ref
Implements semantic analysis for the new try/try_inline ZIR
instruction. Adds the new try/try_ptr AIR instructions and implements
them for the LLVM backend.
Fixes not calling rvalue() for tryExpr in AstGen.
This is part of an effort to implement #11772.
