This PR modifies the pretty printing of anonymous metavariables to use
the index rather than the internal name. This leads to smaller numerical
suffixes in `?m.123` since the indices are numbered within a given
metavariable context rather than across an entire file, hence each
command gets its own numbering. This does not yet affect pretty printing
of universe level metavariables.
For debugging purposes, metavariables that are not defined now pretty
print as `?_mvar.123` rather than cause pretty printing to fail.
This PR modifies the pretty printing of pi types. Now `∀` will be
preferred over `→` for propositions if the domain is not a proposition.
For example, `∀ (n : Nat), True` pretty prints as `∀ (n : Nat), True`
rather than as `Nat → True`. There is also now an option `pp.foralls`
(default true) that when false disables using `∀` at all, for
pedagogical purposes. This PR also adjusts instance implicit binder
pretty printing — nondependent pi types won't show the instance binder
name. Closes#1834.
The linked RFC also suggests using `_` for binder names in case of
non-dependance. We're tabling that idea. Potentially it is useful for
hygienic names; this could improve how `Nat → True` pretty prints as `∀
(a : Nat), True`, with this `a` that's chosen by implication notation
elaboration. Relatedly, this PR exposes even further the issue where
binder names are reused in a confusing way. Consider: `Nat → Nat → (a :
Nat) → a = a` pretty prints as `∀ (a a a : Nat), a = a`.
The trace class Meta.synthInstance.answer isn't registered, so it can't
be used.
I set `inherited := true`, because I think it is a useful trace to have.
In particular it tells you when an instance has been found that has a
too large size. This is very useful information.
Remark: this commit removes the `jason1.lean` test. Motivation: It
breaks all the time due to changes we make, and it is not clear anymore
what it is testing.

The previous implementation was using the following heuristic
```lean
-- heuristic: use non-dependent arrows only if possible for whole group to avoid
-- noisy mix like `(α : Type) → Type → (γ : Type) → ...`.
let dependent := curNames.any fun n => hasIdent n.getId stxBody
```
The result produced by this heuristic was **not** producing an
accidental name capture, but I agree
it was confusing to have `∀ (a : True), ∃ a, a = a : Prop` instead of
`True → ∃ a, a = a : Prop` since there is no dependency.
AFAICT, all examples affected by this commit have a better output now.
