This PR splits the environment used by the kernel from that used by the
elaborator, providing the foundation for tracking of asynchronously
elaborated declarations, which will exist as a concept only in the
latter.
Minor changes:
* kernel diagnostics are moved from an environment extension to a direct
environment as they are the only extension used directly by the kernel
* `initQuot` is moved from an environment header field to a direct
environment as it is the only header field used by the kernel; this also
makes the remaining header immutable after import
Motivations:
- We have been writing several comments of the form "... trace/justification..." and "this trace object justify ...".
- Avoid confusion with util/trace.h

Trace objects will be used to justify steps performed by engines such as the elaborator. We use them to implement non-chronological backtracking in the elaborator. They are also use to justify to the user why something did not work.
The unification constraints are in the kernel because the type checker may create them when type checking a term containing metavariables.
Remark: a minimalistic kernel does not need to include metavariables, unification constraints, nor trace objects. We include these objects in our kernel to minimize code duplication.
