Without these annotations, Lean will timeout when trying to synthesize
the type class instance `decidable_eq uint32`. The type class resolution
problem will produce the unification problem:
```
decidable (@eq uint32 a b) =?= decidable (@eq usize ?x ?y)
```
which Lean tries to solve by assigning `?x := a`.
During the assignment, the types of `?x` and `a` are unified with "full
force". Thus, we get the constraint
```
usize_sz =?= uint32_sz
```
which will take forever to be solved when peforming the computation in
unary arithmetic.
Remark: this commit also makes sure that `type_context` will not unfold
irreducible definitions when trying to unify/match the types.
The new test `type_class_performance1.lean` exposes the problem fixed
by this commit.
Most efficient hash functions use uint32/uint64 and produce values
that do not fit in out small nat representation. Thus, GMP big numbers
would have to be created.
All theorems are proved without using the tactic framework.
Thus, we can define `fin/uint32/uint64` types and their operations
before we define the tactic framework.
