90a79a0b06 chore: remove command universes
Now, `universe` may declare many universes. The goal is to make it
consistent with the `variable` command

79609938a8 feat: allow universe constraints to be postponed longer
Before this commit, each `isDefEq u v` invocation would fail if there
were pending universe level constraints. This commit, moves the
postponed universe constraints back to the `MetaM` state.
It also adds the combinator
```lean
withoutPostponingUniverseConstraints x
```
which executes `x` and throws an error if there are pending universe
constraints. We use the combinator at `elabApp` and `elabBinders`.
Without this commit, we would fail to elaborate simple terms such as
```lean
  Functor.map Prod.fst (x s)
```
because after elaborating `Prod.fst` and trying to ensure its type
match the expected one, we would be stuck at the universe constraint:
```
  u =?= max u ?v
```

Another benefit of the new approach is better error messages. Instead
of getting a mysterious type mismatch constraint, we get a list of
universe contraints the system is stuck at.
