This commit affects different modules.
I used the following approach:
1- I store the metavariable environment at unification_failure_justifications. The idea is to capture the set of instantiated metavariables at the time of failure.
2- I added a remove_detail function. It removes propagation steps from the justification tree object. I also remove the backtracking search space associated with higher-order unificiation. I keep only the search related to case-splits due to coercions and overloads.
3- I use the metavariable environment captured at step 1 when pretty printing the justification of an elaborator_exception.

This modification improves the effectiveness of the process_metavar_inst procedure in the Lean elaborator.
For example, suppose we have the constraint
ctx |- ?M1[inst:0 ?M2] == a
If ?M1 and ?M2 are unassigned, then we have to consider the two possible solutions:
?M1 == a
or
?M1 == #0 and ?M2 == a
On the other hand, if ?M2 is assigned to b, then we can ignore the second case.

This commit also simplifies the method check_pi in the type_checker and type_inferer.
It also fixes process_meta_app in the elaborator.
The problem was in the method process_meta_app and process_meta_inst.
They were processing convertability constrains as equality constraints.
For example, process_meta_app would handle
ctx |- Type << ?f b
as
ctx |- Type =:= ?f b
This is not correct because a ?f that returns (Type U) for b satisfies the first but not the second.

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

After this commit, a value of type 'expr' cannot be a reference to nullptr.
This commit also fixes several bugs due to the use of 'null' expressions.
TODO: do the same for kernel objects, sexprs, etc.

operator bool() may produce unwanted conversions.
For example, we had the following bug in the code base.
...
object const & obj = find_object(const_name(n));
if (obj && obj.is_builtin() && obj.get_name() == n)
...
obj.get_name() has type lean::name
n has type lean::expr
Both have 'operator bool()', then the compiler uses the operator to
convert them to Boolean, and then compare the result.
Of course, this is not our intention.
After this commit, the compiler correctly signs the error.
The correct code is
...
object const & obj = find_object(const_name(n));
if (obj && obj.is_builtin() && obj.get_name() == const_name(n))
...

The problem is that unique names depend on the order compilation units are initialized. The order of initialization is not specified by the C++ standard. Then, different compilers (or even the same compiler) may produce different initialization orders, and consequently the metavariable prefix is going to be different for different builds. This is not a bug, but it makes unit tests to fail since the output produced by different builds is different for the same input file.
Avoiding unique name feature in the default metavariable prefix avoids this problem.

We need that when we normalize the assignment in a metavariable environment.
That is, we replace metavariable in a substitution with other assignments.
