feat: localize universe metavariable errors at let bindings and fun binders (#5402)
Modifies how the declaration command elaborator reports when there are
unassigned metavariables. The visible effects are that (1) now errors
like "don't know how to synthesize implicit argument" and "failed to
infer 'let' declaration type" take precedence over universe level
issues, (2) universe level metavariables are reported as metavariables
(rather than as `u_1`, `u_2`, etc.), and (3) if the universe level
metavariables appear in `let` binding types or `fun` binder types, the
error is localized there.

Motivation: Reporting unsolved expression metavariables is more
important than universe level issues (typically universe issues are from
unsolved expression metavariables). Furthermore, `let` and `fun` binders
can't introduce universe polymorphism, so we can "blame" such bindings
for universe metavariables, if possible.

Example 1: Now the errors are on `x` and `none` (reporting expression
metavariables) rather than on `example` (which reported universe level
metavariables).
```lean
example : IO Unit := do
  let x := none
  pure ()
```

Example 2: Now there is a "failed to infer universe levels in 'let'
declaration type" error on `PUnit`.
```lean
def foo : IO Unit := do
  let x : PUnit := PUnit.unit
  pure ()
```


In more detail:
* `elabMutualDef` used to turn all level mvars into fresh level
parameters before doing an analysis for "hidden levels". This analysis
turns out to be exactly the same as instead creating fresh parameters
for level mvars in only pre-definitions' types and then looking for
level metavariables in their bodies. With this PR, error messages refer
to the same level metavariables in the Infoview, rather than obscure
generated `u_1`, `u_2`, ... level parameters.
* This PR made it possible to push the "hidden levels" check into
`addPreDefinitions`, after the checks for unassigned expression mvars.
It used to be that if the "hidden levels" check produced an "invalid
occurrence of universe level" error it would suppress errors for
unassigned expression mvars, and now it is the other way around.
* There is now a list of `LevelMVarErrorInfo` objects in the `TermElabM`
state. These record expressions that should receive a localized error if
they still contain level metavariables. Currently `let` expressions and
binder types in general register such info. Error messages make use of a
new `exposeLevelMVars` function that adds pretty printer annotations
that try to expose all universe level metavariables.
* When there are universe level metavariables, for error recovery the
definition is still added to the environment after assigning each
metavariable to level 0.
* There's a new `Lean.Util.CollectLevelMVars` module for collecting
level metavariables from expressions.
