This commit also improves the support for projections in the
unifier/matcher.
Now, we consider the extra case-split for projections.
Given a projection `proj`, and the constraint `proj s =?= proj t`, we need to try first `s =?= t` and if it fails, then try to reduce.
This is needed in the standard library because we now have constraints such as:
```
@has_le.le ?A ?s ?a ?b =?= @has_le.le nat nat.has_add x y
```
If we reduce the right hand side, we get the unsolvable constraint
```
@has_le.le ?A ?s ?a ?b =?= nat.le x y
```
Before this change, the constraint was `@le ?A ?s ?a ?b =?= @le nat nat.has_add x y`, and we already perform a case-split in this case.
Moreover, projections were eagerly reduced whenever possible.
The extra case-split generates a performance problem in several tests. For example `fib 8 = 34` was timing out.
I worked around this issue by performing the case-split only when the constraint contains meta-variables.
There are also minor issues. Example. `<` is notation for `has_lt.lt`, but `>` is for `gt`.
The dependent eliminator for an inductive predicate C is called C.drec
TODO: construct dcases_on and drec_on using C.drec
We need this recursor for implementing dependent elimination for
inductive predicates.
We don't need to define acc.drec and eq.drec in the standard library anymore.
(Type u) is the old (Type (u+1))
(PType u) is the old (Type u)
Type* is the old (Type (_+1))
PType* is the old Type*
The stdlib can be compiled, but we still have > 70 broken tests

After this commit we need some more advanced theorems in init/wf, notably function extenstionality.
For this reason I had to refactor the init folder a little bit.
To keep the init folders in both libraries similar, I did the same refactorization in the standard library, even though that was not required for the standard library
Before this commit we were using overloading for concrete structures and
type classes for abstract ones.
This is the first of series of commits that implement this modification
