This PR improves the error messages produced by the `split` tactic,
including suggesting syntax fixes and related tactics with which it
might be confused.
Note that, to avoid clashing with the new error message styling
conventions used in these messages, this PR also updates the formatting
of the message produced by `throwTacticEx`.
Closes#6224
This PR changes `addPPExplicitToExposeDiff` to show universe differences
and to visit into projections, e.g.:
```
error: tactic 'rfl' failed, the left-hand side
(Test.mk (∀ (x : PUnit.{1}), True)).1
is not definitionally equal to the right-hand side
(Test.mk (∀ (x : PUnit.{2}), True)).1
```
for
```lean
inductive Test where
| mk (x : Prop)
example : (Test.mk (∀ _ : PUnit.{1}, True)).1 = (Test.mk (∀ _ : PUnit.{2}, True)).1 := by
rfl
```
This PR adjusts the error message when `apply` fails to unify. It is
clearer about distinguishing the term being applied and the goal, as
well as distinguishing the "conclusion" of the given term and the term
itself.

Example:
```lean
example : 0 = (0 : Nat) := by
exact Eq.refl (0 : Int)
/-
error: type mismatch
Eq.refl 0
has type
(0 : Int) = 0 : Prop
but is expected to have type
(0 : Nat) = 0 : Prop
-/
```
luckily the necessary functionality already exists in the form of
`addPPExplicitToExposeDiff`. But it is not cheap, and we should not run
this code
when the error message isn’t shown, so we should do this lazily.
We already had `MessageData.ofPPFormat` to assemble the error message
lazily, but it
was restricted to returning `FormatWithInfo`, a data type that doesn’t
admit a nice
API to compose more complex messages (like `Format` or `MessageData`
has; an attempt to
fix that is in #3926).
Therefore we split the functionality of `.ofPPFormat` into
`.ofFormatWithInfo` and `.ofLazy`,
and use `.ofLazy` to compute the more complex error message of `apply`.
Fixes#3232.
