feat: add solve_by_elim to try? tactic pipeline (#11462)
This PR adds `solve_by_elim` as a fallback in the `try?` tactic's simple
tactics. When `rfl` and `assumption` both fail but `solve_by_elim`
succeeds (e.g., for goals requiring hypothesis chaining or
backtracking), `try?` will now suggest `solve_by_elim`.

The structure is `first | (attempt_all | rfl | assumption) |
solve_by_elim`, so `solve_by_elim` only runs when the faster tactics
fail.

This is a prerequisite for removing the "first pass" `solve_by_elim`
from `apply?`. Currently `apply?` calls `solve_by_elim` twice: once
before library search, and once after each lemma application. The first
pass can be removed once `try?` includes `solve_by_elim`.

Tests for try? integration with solve_by_elim.
This tests that `try?` now includes `solve_by_elim` in its pipeline,
which is a prerequisite for removing the "first pass" solve_by_elim from `apply?`.

-- Basic hypothesis chaining: solve_by_elim can chain f and g to get from a to γ
