tint: Rework sem::Constant to be variant-of-vector

Instead of vector-of-variant.
This:
• Makes it impossible to produce a mix of scalar variant types, which
  would make no sense.
• Reduces the size of a Constant, by removing the union-tag from each
  element.

Also clean up terminology. Rename 'Constant::Scalar' to
 'Constant::Element'. Scalars are well-defined in WGSL, and with the
introduction of abstract-numerics, this no longer makes sense.
