feat: enable pp.fieldNotation.generalized globally (#3744)
Sets the default value to `pp.fieldNotation.generalized` to `true`.
Updates tests, and fixes some minor flaws in the implementation of the
generalized field notation pretty printer.

Now generalized field notation won't be used for any function that has a
`motive` argument. This is intended to prevent recursors from pretty
printing using it as (1) recursors are more like control flow structures
than actual functions and (2) generalized field notation tends to cause
elaboration problems for recursors.

Note: be sure functions that have an `@[app_unexpander]` use
`@[pp_nodot]` if applicable. For example, `List.toArray` needs
`@[pp_nodot]` to ensure the unexpander prints it using `#[...]`
notation.

feat: improve error messages and docstring for decide tactic (#3422)
The `decide` tactic produces error messages that users find to be
obscure. Now:
1. If the `Decidable` instance reduces to `isFalse`, it reports that
`decide` failed because the proposition is false.
2. If the `Decidable` instance fails to reduce, it explains what
proposition it failed for, and it shows the reduced `Decidable` instance
rather than the `Decidable.decide` expression. That expression tends to
be less useful since it shows the unreduced `Decidable` argument (plus
it's a lot longer!)

Examples:
```lean
example : 1 ≠ 1 := by decide
/-
tactic 'decide' proved that the proposition
  1 ≠ 1
is false
-/

opaque unknownProp : Prop

open scoped Classical in
example : unknownProp := by decide
/-
tactic 'decide' failed for proposition
  unknownProp
since its 'Decidable' instance reduced to
  Classical.choice ⋯
rather than to the 'isTrue' constructor.
-/
```

When reporting the error, `decide` only shows the whnf of the
`Decidable` instance. In the future we could consider having it reduce
all decidable instances present in the term, which can help with
determining the cause of failure (this was explored in
8cede580690faa5ce18683f168838b08b372bacb).
