This PR refines and clarifies the `meta` phase distinction in the module
system.
* `meta import A` without `public` now has the clarified meaning of
"enable compile-time evaluation of declarations in or above `A` in the
current module, but not downstream". This is now checked statically by
enforcing that public meta defs, which therefore may be referenced from
outside, can only use public meta imports, and that global evaluating
attributes such as `@[term_parser]` can only be applied to public meta
defs.
* `meta def`s may no longer reference non-meta defs even when in the
same module. This clarifies the meta distinction as well as improves
locality of (new) error messages.
* parser references in `syntax` are now also properly tracked as meta
references.
* A `meta import` of an `import` now properly loads only the `.ir` of
the nested module for the purposes of execution instead of also making
its declarations available for general elaboration.
* `initialize` is now no longer being run on import under the module
system, which is now covered by `meta initialize`.
This PR adds error explanations for two common errors caused by large
elimination from `Prop`. To support this functionality, "nested" named
errors thrown by sub-tactics are now able to display their error code
and explanation.
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 improves the error messages produced by invalid projections and
field notation. It also adds a hint to the "function expected" error
message noting the argument to which the term is being applied, which
can be helpful for debugging spurious "function expected" messages
actually caused by syntax errors.

This PR adjusts the `lean.redundantMatchAlt` error explanation to remove
the word "unprefixed," which the reference manual's style linter does
not recognize.
This PR adds explanations for a few errors concerning noncomputability,
redundant match alternatives, and invalid inductive declarations.
These adopt a lower-case error naming style, which is also applied to
existing error explanation tests.
