This PR implements the new E-matching pattern inference heuristic for
`grind`. It is not enabled yet. You can activate the new behavior using
`set_option backward.grind.inferPattern false`. Here is a summary of the
new behavior.
* `[grind =]`, `[grind =_]`, `[grind _=_]`, `[grind <-=]`: no changes;
we keep the current behavior.
* `[grind ->]`, `[grind <-]`, `[grind =>]`, `[grind <=]`: we stop using
the *minimal indexable subexpression* and instead use the first
indexable one.
* `[grind! <mod>]`: behaves like `[grind <mod>]` but uses the minimal
indexable subexpression restriction. We generate an error if the user
writes `[grind! =]`, `[grind! =_]`, `[grind! _=_]`, or `[grind! <-=]`,
since there is no pattern search in these cases.
* `[grind]`: it tries `=`, `=_`, `<-`, `->`, `<=`, `=>` with and without
the minimal indexable subexpression restriction. For the ones that work,
we generate a code action to encourage users to select the one they
prefer.
* `[grind!]`: it tries `<-`, `->`, `<=`, `=>` using the minimal
indexable subexpression restriction. For the ones that work, we generate
a code action to encourage users to select the one they prefer.
* `[grind? <mod>]`: where `<mod>` is one of the modifiers above, it
behaves like `[grind <mod>]` but also displays the pattern.
Example:
```lean

info: Try these:
• [grind =] for pattern: [f (g #0)]
• [grind =_] for pattern: [r #0#0]
• [grind! ←] for pattern: [g #0]

This PR implements a new E-matching pattern inference procedure that is
faithful to the behavior documented in the reference manual regarding
minimal indexable subexpressions. The old inference procedure was
failing to enforce this condition. For example, the manual documents
`[grind ->]` as follows
`[@grind →]` selects a multi-pattern from the hypotheses of the theorem.
In other words, `grind` will use the theorem for forwards reasoning.
To generate a pattern, it traverses the hypotheses of the theorem from
left to right. Each time it encounters a **minimal indexable
subexpression** which covers an argument which was not previously
covered, it adds that subexpression as a pattern, until all arguments
have been covered.
That said, the new procedure is currently disabled, and the following
option must be used to enable it.
```
set_option backward.grind.inferPattern false
```
Users can inspect differences between the old a new procedures using the
option
```
set_option backward.grind.checkInferPatternDiscrepancy true
```
Example:
```lean
/--
warning: found discrepancy between old and new `grind` pattern inference procedures, old:
[@List.length #2 (@toList _ #1#0)]
new:
[@toList #2#1#0]
