This is a big change because we have to store in constraints whether we can use the "relaxed" rules or not.
The "relaxed" case says that when type checking the value of an opaque definition we can treat other opaque definitions in the same module as transparent.

We simulate it in the following way:
1- An opaque 'let'-expressions (let x : t := v in b) is encoded as
((fun (x : t), b) v)
We also use a macro (let-macro) to mark this pattern.
Thus, the pretty-printer knows how to display it correctly.
2- Transparent 'let'-expressions are eagerly expanded by the parser.

The resultant expression may failed to be fully shared.
Add an example that demonstrates the problem.

The universe constraint manager is more flexible now.
We don't need to start with a huge universe U >= 512.
We can start small, and increase it on demand.
If module mod1 needs it, it can always add
universe U >= 3

This commit also adds several new theorems that are useful for implementing the simplifier.
TODO: perhaps we should remove the declarations at basic_thms.h?

After this commit, in the type checker, when checking convertability, we first compute a normal form without expanding opaque terms.
If the terms are convertible, then we are done, and saved a lot of time by not expanding unnecessary definitions.
If they are not, instead of throwing an error, we try again expanding the opaque terms.
This seems to be the best of both worlds.
The opaque flag is a hint for the type checker, but it would never prevent us from type checking a valid term.

This modification was motivated by a bug exposed by tst17 at tests/kernel/type_checker.
metavar_env is now a smart point to metavar_env_cell.
ro_metavar_env is a read-only smart pointer. It is useful to make sure we are using proof_state correctly.
example showing that the approach for caching metavar_env is broken in the type_checker

The environment object is a "smart-pointer".
Before this commit, the use of "const &" for environment objects was broken.
For example, suppose we have a function f that should not modify the input environment.
Before this commit, its signature would be
void f(environment const & env)
This is broken, f's implementation can easilty convert it to a read-write pointer by using
the copy constructor.
environment rw_env(env);
Now, f can use rw_env to update env.
To fix this issue, we now have ro_environment. It is a shared *const* pointer.
We can convert an environment into a ro_environment, but not the other way around.
ro_environment can also be seen as a form of documentation.
For example, now it is clear that type_inferer is not updating the environment, since its constructor takes a ro_environment.

This commit allows us to build Lean without the pthread dependency.
It is also useful if we want to implement multi-threading on top of Boost.
