Support default values for function arguments

[harlanhaskins]

Default arguments should just be AST nodes we can copy at call time if they're not provided. They should be scoped to the caller of the function, so special expressions like #file are populated with the caller's values, unlike the Python behavior where defaults are globally scoped.

For example:

func fatalError(_ message: String, file: String = #file, function: String = #function, line: Int = #line) {}

// This call here...
fatalError("Index out of bounds")

// ...desugars in Sema as:
fatalError("Index out of bounds", file: #file, function: #function, line: #line)

would this mean that func f(_ s: Any = self) would by default return the caller?

[harlanhaskins]

No, they should be restricted to global constants

[harlanhaskins]

Or literals

One thing I'd kinda like is for default values of args to be able to depend upon other arguments:

func f(_ x: Foo, _ length: Int = x.length) {}
