feat: functional induction (#3432)
This adds the concept of **functional induction** to lean.

Derived from the definition of a (possibly mutually) recursive function,
a **functional
induction principle** is tailored to proofs about that function. For
example from:

```
def ackermann : Nat → Nat → Nat
  | 0, m => m + 1
  | n+1, 0 => ackermann n 1
  | n+1, m+1 => ackermann n (ackermann (n + 1) m)
derive_functional_induction ackermann
```
we get
```
ackermann.induct (motive : Nat → Nat → Prop) (case1 : ∀ (m : Nat), motive 0 m)
  (case2 : ∀ (n : Nat), motive n 1 → motive (Nat.succ n) 0)
  (case3 : ∀ (n m : Nat), motive (n + 1) m → motive n (ackermann (n + 1) m) → motive (Nat.succ n) (Nat.succ m))
  (x x : Nat) : motive x x
```

At the moment, the user has to ask for the functional induction
principle explicitly using
```
derive_functional_induction ackermann
```

The module docstring of `Lean/Meta/Tactic/FunInd.lean` contains more
details on the
design and implementation of this command.

More convenience around this (e.g. a `functional induction` tactic) will
follow eventually.


This PR includes a bunch of `PSum`/`PSigma` related functions in the
`Lean.Tactic.FunInd`
namespace. I plan to move these to `PackArgs`/`PackMutual` afterwards,
and do some cleaning
up as I do that.
