Revise trailing expression block rules
An earlier commit added a single rule, `r[expr.block.result-value]`,
that documented the value of a block expression in one compound
sentence. While correct, that sentence carried a lot of weight -- the
three cases it described (final operand present, final operand absent,
and diverging) are different enough that each deserves its own rule
and example.
This commit replaces `r[expr.block.result-value]` and
`r[expr.block.type]` with three rules that each describe the type and
value together for one case:
- `r[expr.block.value-trailing-expr]`: when the block has a final
operand, it has that operand's type and value.
- `r[expr.block.value-no-trailing-expr]`: when the block has no final
operand and doesn't diverge, it has unit type and unit value.
- `r[expr.block.value-diverges-no-trailing-expr]`: when the block has
no final operand and diverges, it has the never type and has no
final value (because its type is uninhabited).
The existing example demonstrated type and value together in one
block. We replace it with focused examples for each rule, each
demonstrating the specific case that rule describes. A note after the
third rule highlights the distinction between omitting the final
operand and having an explicit unit final operand -- the diverging
case makes this difference visible, since `{ loop {}; }` has never
type while `{ loop {}; () }` has unit type.
