On OSX, Lean was often crashing when using trace messages.
I identified a problem in the thread finalization process.
In OSX, the `silent_ios_helper` at `library/trace.cpp` was being
finalized after the `null_streambuf` at `util/null_ostream.cpp`.
There was also a memory corruption problem also related to
`null_streambuf`.
This commit fixes this problem by using the following recipe
for creating null output stream buffers in C++.

It fixes the issue by propagating the correct information to the
equation compiler.
The fix may be a little bit hackish, but it is comapatible with
the approach we are already using: store `m_is_meta` flag in the equation
macro.
Disclaimer: we may still have other instances of this bug, since
the information may still be propagated incorrectly in other places.
I will not refactor this code right now nor accept any PR that
changes the current design. I am busy in other parts of the code
base and do not have time to do the context switch required for
implementing this kind of change and/or review the PR and make sure I'm
happy with it.
@kha: I decided to implement this change before I start the
type_context modifications. The change did not affect the corelib and
test suite much. The only annoying problem is that `out` cannot be
used to name locals anymore.
The `induction h` tactic tries to clear hypothesis `h` after it is
applied. But, before this commit, `cases h` would only try to clear `h`
when performing non-dependent elimination. This was problematic when
writing tactic scripts for automating proofs.
The `no_confusion` construction is only generated for inductive
datatypes supported in the kernel.
Before this commit, given `h : T`, `cases h` could leak the internal encoding
used by the inductive compiler WHEN a nested and/or mutual inductive
datatype is used to index the inductive datatype `T`.
The new test exposes the problem.
The solution implemented in this commit uses inj_arrow lemmas
generated by the inductive compiler. We only use the lemmas
if the target is a proposition. If it is not, we sign an error.
The reason for this limitation is documented in the source code.

Jared: the information leakage has been fixed. So, students will not be
confused by the internal encoding used in the inductive compiler.
I added the example I posted on slack as a new test.
Note that, the workaround I used has been removed.
