feat: update and explain "unknown constant" and "failed to infer type" errors (#9423)
This PR updates the formatting of, and adds explanations for, "unknown
identifier" errors as well as "failed to infer type" errors for binders
and definitions.

It attempts to ameliorate some of the confusion encountered in #1592 by
modifying the wording of the "header is elaborated before body is
processed" note and adding further discussion and examples of this
behavior in the corresponding error explanation.

fix: validate UTF-8 at C++ -> Lean boundary (#3963)
Continuation of #3958. To ensure that lean code is able to uphold the
invariant that `String`s are valid UTF-8 (which is assumed by the lean
model), we have to make sure that no lean objects are created with
invalid UTF-8. #3958 covers the case of lean code creating strings via
`fromUTF8Unchecked`, but there are still many cases where C++ code
constructs strings from a `const char *` or `std::string` with unclear
UTF-8 status.

To address this and minimize accidental missed validation, the
`(lean_)mk_string` function is modified to validate UTF-8. The original
function is renamed to `mk_string_unchecked`, with several other
variants depending on whether we know the string is UTF-8 or ASCII and
whether we have the length and/or utf8 char count on hand. I reviewed
every function which leads to `mk_string` or its variants in the C code,
and used the appropriate validation function, defaulting to `mk_string`
if the provenance is unclear.

This PR adds no new error handling paths, meaning that incorrect UTF-8
will still produce incorrect results in e.g. IO functions, they are just
not causing unsound behavior anymore. A subsequent PR will handle adding
better error reporting for bad UTF-8.
