This PR changes how sparse case expressions represent the
none-of-the-above information. Instead of of many `x.ctorIdx ≠ i`
hypotheses, it introduces a single `Nat.hasNotBit mask x.ctorIdx`
hypothesis which compresses that information into a bitmask. This avoids
a quadratic overhead during splitter generation, where all n assumptions
would be refined through `.subst` and `.cases` constructions for all n
assumption of the splitter alternative.
The definition of `Nat.hasNotBit` uses `Nat.rightShift` which is fiddly
to get to reduce well, especially on open terms and with `Meta.whnf`.
Some experimentation was needed to find proof terms that work, these are
all put together in the `Lean.Meta.HasNotBit` module.
Fixes#11183

This PR lets the match compilation procedure use sparse case analysis
when the patterns only match on some but not all constructors of an
inductive type. This way, less code is produce. Before, code handling
each of the other cases was then optimized and commoned-up by later
compilation pipeline, but that is wasteful to do.
In some cases this will prevent Lean from noticing that a match
statement is complete
because it performs less case-splitting for the unreachable case. In
this case, give explicit
patterns to perform the deeper split with `by contradiction` as the
right-hand side.
At least temporarily, there is also the option to disable this behaviour
with
```
set_option backwards.match.sparseCases false
```
This PR improves match compilation: Branch on variables in the order
suggested by the first remaining alternative, and do not branch when the
first remaining alternative does not require it. This fixes
https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/10749. With `set_option
backwards.match.rowMajor false` the old behavior can be turned on.
(For now this is an experiment to get familiar with the code and the
whole
problem domain. It is likely overly naive.)
This PR extracts some refactorings from #10763, including dropping dead
code and not failing in `inaccessibleAsCtor`, which leadas to (slightly)
better error messages, and also on the grounds that the failing
alternative may actually be unreachable.
