This PR makes `#guard_msgs` to treat `trace` messages separate from
`info`, `warning` and `error`. It also introduce the ability to say
`#guard_msgs (pass info`, like `(drop info)` so far, and also adds
`(check info)` as the explicit form of `(info)`, for completeness.
Fixes#8266
Summary:
- Adds configuration option `exponentiation.threshold`
- An expression `b^n` where `b` and `n` are literals is not reduced by
`whnf`, `simp`, and `isDefEq` if `n > exponentiation.threshold`.
Motivation: prevents system from becoming irresponsive and/or crashing
without memory.
TODO: improve support in the kernel. It is using a hard-coded limit for
now.
