Leonardo de Moura 4dd6cead83 refactor(equality): make homogeneous equality the default equality
It was not a good idea to use heterogeneous equality as the default equality in Lean.
It creates the following problems.

- Heterogeneous equality does not propagate constraints in the elaborator.
For example, suppose that l has type (List Int), then the expression
     l = nil
will not propagate the type (List Int) to nil.

- It is easy to write false. For example, suppose x has type Real, and the user
writes x = 0. This is equivalent to false, since 0 has type Nat. The elaborator cannot introduce
the coercion since x = 0 is a type correct expression.

Homogeneous equality does not suffer from the problems above.
We keep heterogeneous equality because it is useful for generating proof terms.
