feat: @[instance_reducible] (#12247)
This PR adds the new transparency setting `@[instance_reducible]`. We
used to check whether a declaration had `instance` reducibility by using
the `isInstance` predicate. However, this was not a robust solution
because:

- We have scoped instances, and `isInstance` returns `true` only if the
scope is active.

- We have auxiliary declarations used to construct instances manually,
such as:

```lean
    def lt_wfRel : WellFoundedRelation Nat
```
    
`isInstance` also returns `false` for this kind of declaration.

In both cases, the declaration may be (or may have been) used to
construct an instance, but `isInstance`
returns `false`. Thus, we claim it is a mistake to check the
reducibility status using `isInstance`.
`isInstance` indicates whether a declaration is available for the type
class resolution mechanism,
not its transparency status.

**We are decoupling whether a declaration is available for type class
resolution from its transparency status.**

**Remak**: We need a update stage0 to complete this feature.
