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 improves the “expected type mismatch” error message by omitting
the type's types when they are defeq, and putting them into separate
lines when not.
I found it rather tediuos to parse the error message when the expected
type is long, because I had to find the `:` in the middle of a large
expression somewhere. Also, when both are of sort `Prop` or `Type` it
doesn't add much value to print the sort (and it’s only one hover away
anyways).
This PR makes `#guard_msgs` to treat `trace` messages separate from
`info`, `warning` and `error`. It also introduce the ability to say
`#guard_msgs (pass info`, like `(drop info)` so far, and also adds
`(check info)` as the explicit form of `(info)`, for completeness.

Floris van Doorn [reported on
Zulip](https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/270676-lean4/topic/have.20tactic.20error.20recovery/near/425283053)
that it is confusing that the `have : T := e` tactic completely fails if
the body `e` is not of type `T`. This is in contrast to `have : T := by
exact e`, which does not completely fail when `e` is not of type `T`.
This ends up being caused by `elabTermEnsuringType` throwing an error
when it fails to insert a coercion. Now, it detects this case, and it
checks the `errToSorry` flag to decide whether to throw the error or to
log the error and insert a `sorry`.
This is justified by `elabTermEnsuringType` being a frontend to
`elabTerm`, which inserts `sorry` on error.
An alternative would be to make `ensureType` respect `errToSorry`, but
there exists code that expects being able to catch when `ensureType`
fails. Making such code manipulate `errToSorry` seems error prone, and
this function is not a main entry point to the term elaborator, unlike
`elabTermEnsuringType`.
