This PR modifies pretty printing of `fun` binders, suppressing the safe
shadowing feature among the binders in the same `fun`. For example,
rather than pretty printing as `fun x x => 0`, we now see `fun x x_1 =>
0`. The calculation is done per `fun`, so for example `fun x => id fun x
=> 0` pretty prints as-is, taking advantage of safe shadowing.
The motivation for this change is that many users have reported that
safe shadowing within the same `fun` is confusing.
This PR adjusts the "try this" widget to be rendered as a widget message
under 'Messages', not a separate widget under a 'Suggestions' section.
The main benefit of this is that the message of the widget is not
duplicated between 'Messages' and 'Suggestions'.
Since widget message suggestions were already implemented by @jrr6 for
the new hint infrastructure, this PR replaces the old "try this"
implementation with the new hint infrastructure. In doing so, the
`style?` field of suggestions is deprecated, since the hint
infrastructure highlights hints using diff colors, and `style?` also
never saw much use downstream. Additionally, since the message and the
suggestion are now the same component, the `messageData?` field of
suggestions is deprecated as well. Notably, the "Try this:" message
string now also contains a newline and indentation to separate the
suggestion from the rest of the message more clearly and the `postInfo?`
field of the suggestion is now part of the message.
Finally, this PR changes the diff colors used by the hint infrastructure
to be more color-blindness-friendly (insertions are now blue, not green,
and text that remains unchanged is now using the editor foreground color
instead of blue).
### Breaking changes
Tests that use `#guard_msgs` to test the "Try this:" message may need to
be adjusted for the new formatting of the message.
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 adds the ability to define possibly non-terminating functions
and still be able to reason about them equationally, as long as they are
tail-recursive or monadic.
Typical uses of this feature are
```lean4
def ack : (n m : Nat) → Option Nat
| 0, y => some (y+1)
| x+1, 0 => ack x 1
| x+1, y+1 => do ack x (← ack (x+1) y)

def whileSome (f : α → Option α) (x : α) : α :=
match f x with
| none => x
| some x' => whileSome f x'

def computeLfp {α : Type u} [DecidableEq α] (f : α → α) (x : α) : α :=
let next := f x
if x ≠ next then
computeLfp f next

Knaster–Tarski theorem (merged as

mathlib’s `fun_prop`) (merged as

* An attribute to extend that tactic (merged as

* A “derecursifier” that uses that machinery to define recursive
function, including support for dependent functions and mutual
recursion.
* Fixed-point induction principles (technical, tedious to use)
