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.

The parser had a nasty ambiguity. For example,
f Type 1
had two possible interpretations
(f (Type) (1))
or
(f (Type 1))
To fix this issue, whenever we want to specify a particular universe, we have to precede 'Type' with a parenthesis.
Examples:
(Type 1)
(Type U)
(Type M + 1)

This commit also adds a new test that exposes the problem.
The scoped_map should not be used for caching values in the normalizer and type_checker. When we extend the context, the meaning of all variables is modified (we are essentially performing a lift). So, the values stored in the cache are not correct in the new context.

The modifications started at commit 1852c86948 made a big difference. For example, before these changes test tests/lean/implicit7.lean generated complicated constraints such as:
[x : Type; a : ?M::29[inst:1 ?M::0[lift:0:1]] x] ⊢ Pi B : Type, (Pi _ : x, (Pi _ : (?M::35[inst:0 #0, inst:1 #2, inst:2 #4, inst:3 #6, inst:5 #5, inst:6 #7, inst:7 #9, inst:9 #9, inst:10 #11, inst:13 ?M::0[lift:0:13]] x a B _), (?M::36[inst:1 #1, inst:2 #3, inst:3 #5, inst:4 #7, inst:6 #6, inst:7 #8, inst:8 #10, inst:10 #10, inst:11 #12, inst:14 ?M::0[lift:0:14]] x a B _ _))) ≈
?M::22 x a
After the changes, only very simple constraints are generated. The most complicated one is:
[] ⊢ Pi a : ?M::0, (Pi B : Type, (Pi _ : ?M::0, (Pi _ : B, ?M::0))) ≈ Pi x : ?M::17, ?M::18

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.
