feat: abstract metavariables when generalizing match motives (#8099) (#11696)
This PR improves `match` generalization such that it abstracts
metavariables in types of local variables and in the result type of the
match over the match discriminants. Previously, a metavariable in the
result type would silently default to the behavior of `generalizing :=
false`, and a metavariable in the type of a free variable would lead to
an error (#8099). Example of a `match` that elaborates now but
previously wouldn't:
```lean
example (a : Nat) (ha : a = 37) :=
    (match a with | 42 => by contradiction | n => n) = 37
```
This is because the result type of the `match` is a metavariable that
was not abstracted over `a` and hence generalization failed; the result
is that `contradiction` cannot pick up the proof `ha : 42 = 37`.
The old behavior can be recovered by passing `(generalizing := false)`
to the `match`.

Furthermore, programs such as the following can now be elaborated:
```lean
example (n : Nat) : Id (Fin (n + 1)) :=
  have jp : ?m := ?rhs
  match n with
  | 0 => ?jmp1
  | n + 1 => ?jmp2
  where finally
  case m => exact Fin (n + 1) → Id (Fin (n + 1))
  case jmp1 => exact jp ⟨0, by decide⟩
  case jmp2 => exact jp ⟨n, by omega⟩
  case rhs => exact pure
```
This is useful for the `do` elaborator.

Fixes #8099.
