This PR updates the formatting of, and adds explanations for, "unknown
identifier" errors as well as "failed to infer type" errors for binders
and definitions.
It attempts to ameliorate some of the confusion encountered in #1592 by
modifying the wording of the "header is elaborated before body is
processed" note and adding further discussion and examples of this
behavior in the corresponding error explanation.
This PR refactors the way simp arguments are elaborated: Instead of
changing the `SimpTheorems` structure as we go, this elaborates each
argument to a more declarative description of what it does, and then
apply those. This enables more interesting checks of simp arguments that
need to happen in the context of the eventually constructed simp context
(the checks in #8688), or after simp has run (unused argument linter
#8901).
The new data structure describing an elaborated simp argument isn’t the
most elegant, but follows from the code.
While I am at it, move handling of `[*]` into `elabSimpArgs`. Downstream
adaption branches exist (but may not be fully up to date because of the
permission changes).
While I am at it, I cleaned up `SimpTheorems.lean` file a bit (sorting
declarations, mild renaming) and added documentation.
