This PR gives the `induction` tactic the ability to name hypotheses to
use when generalizing targets, just like in `cases`. For example,
`induction h : xs.length` leads to goals with hypotheses `h : xs.length
= 0` and `h : xs.length = n + 1`. Target handling is also slightly
modified for multi-target induction principles: it used to be that if
any target was not a free variable, all of the targets would be
generalized (thus causing free variables to lose their connection to the
local hypotheses they appear in); now only the non-free-variable targets
are generalized.
This gives `induction` the last basic feature of the mathlib
`induction'` tactic, which has been long-requested. Recent Zulip
discussion:

As per dicussion with team colleages, the feature shouldn’t be called
“auto attach” but rather “well-founded recursion preprocessing” to avoid
(imprecise) jargon.
This PR adds support for changing the binder annotations of existing
variables to and from strict-implicit and instance-implicit using the
`variable` command.
This PR requires a stage0 update to fully take effect.
Closes#6078
This PR splits the environment used by the kernel from that used by the
elaborator, providing the foundation for tracking of asynchronously
elaborated declarations, which will exist as a concept only in the
latter.
Minor changes:
* kernel diagnostics are moved from an environment extension to a direct
environment as they are the only extension used directly by the kernel
* `initQuot` is moved from an environment header field to a direct
environment as it is the only header field used by the kernel; this also
makes the remaining header immutable after import
