This now works:
```lean
inductive Tree where | node : List Tree → Tree
mutual
def Tree.size : Tree → Nat
| node ts => list_size ts
def Tree.list_size : List Tree → Nat
| [] => 0
| t::ts => t.size + list_size ts
end
```
It is still out of scope to expect to be able to use nested recursion
(e.g. through `List.map` or `List.foldl`) here.
Depends on #4718.

the support for mutual structural recursion (new since #4575) is
extended so that Lean tries to infer it even without annotations.
* The error message when termination checking fails looks quite
different now. Maybe a bit better, maybe with more room for
improvements.
* If there are too many combinations (with an arbitrary cut-off) for a
given argument type, it will just give up and ask the user to use
`termination_by structural`.
* It is now legal to specify `termination_by structural` on not
necessarily all functions of a clique; this simply restricts the
combinations of arguments that Lean considers.

We now get `.below` and `.brecOn` definitions for nested inductives.
No surprises in the implementation: the kernel already gives us suitable
`.rec_1` etc. recursors, and our construction follows the structure of
this recursor.

if will fail otherwise, but with a worse error message, and it's helpful
in later transformation to know that the parameters are the same for the
whole group.
This adds support for mutual structural recursive functions.
For now this is opt-in: The functions must have a `termination_by
structural …` annotation (new since #4542) for this to work:
```lean
mutual
inductive A
| self : A → A
| other : B → A
| empty
inductive B
| self : B → B
| other : A → B
| empty
end
mutual
def A.size : A → Nat
| .self a => a.size + 1
| .other b => b.size + 1
| .empty => 0
termination_by structural x => x
def B.size : B → Nat
| .self b => b.size + 1
| .other a => a.size + 1
| .empty => 0
termination_by structural x => x
end
```
The recursive functions don’t have to be in a one-to-one relation to a
set of mutually recursive inductive data types. It is possible to ignore
some of the types:
```lean
def A.self_size : A → Nat
| .self a => a.self_size + 1
| .other _ => 0
| .empty => 0
termination_by structural x => x
```
or have more than one function per argument type:
```lean
def isEven : Nat → Prop
| 0 => True
| n+1 => ¬ isOdd n
termination_by structural x => x
def isOdd : Nat → Prop
| 0 => False
| n+1 => ¬ isEven n
termination_by structural x => x
```
This does not include
* Support for nested inductive data types or nested recursion
* Inferring mutual structural recursion in the absence of
`termination_by`.
* Functional induction principles for these.
* Mutually recursive functions that live in different universes. This
may be possible,
maybe after beefing up the `.below` and `.brecOn` functions; we can look
into this some
other time, maybe when there are concrete use cases.
