feat: more infrastructure for tactic documentation (#4490)
This is the groundwork for a tactic index in generated documentation, as
there was in Lean 3. There are a few challenges to getting this to work
well in Lean 4:
* There's no natural notion of *tactic identity* - a tactic may be
specified by multiple syntax rules (e.g. the pattern-matching version of
`intro` is specified apart from the default version, but both are the
same from a user perspective)
* There's no natural notion of *tactic name* - here, we take the
pragmatic choice of using the first keyword atom in the tactic's syntax
specification, but this may need to be overridable someday.
* Tactics are extensible, but we don't want to allow arbitrary imports
to clobber existing tactic docstrings, which could become unpredictable
in practice.

For tactic identity, this PR introduces the notion of a *tactic
alternative*, which is a `syntax` specification that is really "the same
as" an existing tactic, but needs to be separate for technical reasons.
This provides a notion of tactic identity, which we can use as the basis
of a tactic index in generated documentation. Alternative forms of
tactics are specified using a new `@[tactic_alt IDENT]` attribute,
applied to the new tactic syntax. It is an error to declare a tactic
syntax rule to be an alternative of another one that is itself an
alternative. Documentation hovers now take alternatives into account,
and display the docs for the canonical name.

*Tactic tags*, created with the `register_tactic_tag` command, specify
tags that may be applied to tactics. This is intended to be used by
doc-gen and Verso. Tags may be applied using the `@[tactic_tag TAG1 TAG2
...]` attribute on a canonical tactic parser, which may be used in any
module to facilitate downstream projects introducing tags that apply to
pre-existing tactics. Tags may not be removed, but it's fine to
redundantly add them. The collection of tags, and the tactics to which
they're applied, can be seen using the `#print tactic tags` command.

*Extension documentation* provides a structured way to document
extensions to tactics. The resulting documentation is gathered into a
bulleted list at the bottom of the tactic's docstring. Extensions are
added using the `tactic_extension TAC` command. This can be used when
adding new interpretations of a tactic via `macro_rules`, when extending
some table or search index used by the tactic, or in any other way. It
is a command to facilitate its flexible use with various extension
mechanisms.

The syntax for the `match` tactic is the same as term-mode `match`, except that
the match arms are tactics instead of expressions.

match n with

The tactic
```
intro
| pat1 => tac1
| pat2 => tac2
```
is the same as:
```
intro x
match x with
| pat1 => tac1
| pat2 => tac2
```
That is, `intro` can be followed by match arms and it introduces the values while
doing a pattern match. This is equivalent to `fun` with match arms in term mode.

`decide` attempts to prove the main goal (with target type `p`) by synthesizing an instance of `Decidable p`
and then reducing that instance to evaluate the truth value of `p`.
If it reduces to `isTrue h`, then `h` is a proof of `p` that closes the goal.
Limitations:
- The target is not allowed to contain local variables or metavariables.
If there are local variables, you can try first using the `revert` tactic with these local variables
to move them into the target, which may allow `decide` to succeed.
- Because this uses kernel reduction to evaluate the term, `Decidable` instances defined
by well-founded recursion might not work, because evaluating them requires reducing proofs.
The kernel can also get stuck reducing `Decidable` instances with `Eq.rec` terms for rewriting propositions.
These can appear for instances defined using tactics (such as `rw` and `simp`).
To avoid this, use definitions such as `decidable_of_iff` instead.
## Examples
Proving inequalities:
```lean
example : 2 + 2 ≠ 5 := by decide
```
Trying to prove a false proposition:
```lean
example : 1 ≠ 1 := by decide
/-
tactic 'decide' proved that the proposition
1 ≠ 1
is false
-/
```
Trying to prove a proposition whose `Decidable` instance fails to reduce
```lean
opaque unknownProp : Prop
open scoped Classical in
example : unknownProp := by decide
/-
tactic 'decide' failed for proposition
unknownProp
since its 'Decidable' instance reduced to
Classical.choice ⋯
rather than to the 'isTrue' constructor.
-/
```
## Properties and relations
For equality goals for types with decidable equality, usually `rfl` can be used in place of `decide`.
```lean
example : 1 + 1 = 2 := by decide
example : 1 + 1 = 2 := by rfl
```
-/
@[builtin_tactic_parser] def decide := leading_parser
nonReservedSymbol "decide"
/-- `native_decide` will attempt to prove a goal of type `p` by synthesizing an instance
of `Decidable p` and then evaluating it to `isTrue ..`. Unlike `decide`, this
uses `#eval` to evaluate the decidability instance.
This should be used with care because it adds the entire lean compiler to the trusted
part, and the axiom `ofReduceBool` will show up in `#print axioms` for theorems using
this method or anything that transitively depends on them. Nevertheless, because it is
compiled, this can be significantly more efficient than using `decide`, and for very
large computations this is one way to run external programs and trust the result.
```
example : (List.range 1000).length = 1000 := by native_decide
```
