Floris van Doorn ff01774fd7 renaming(hit): rename type_quotient to quotient, and quotient to set_quotient
This renaming is because type_quotient is a nonstandard name.  I've had a discussion with Egbert
Rijke, Steve Awodey and Dan Licata, and the consensus for a better name was 'quotient'.  I had to
make changes in src/kernel/hits/hits.cpp, I renamed g_type_quotient* by g_hit_quotient* (to avoid
name clash the standard library quotient, although I don't know whether that name clash would
matter).

hit

Declaration and theorems of higher inductive types in Lean. We take two higher inductive types (hits) as primitive notions in Lean. We define all other hits in terms of these two hits. The hits which are primitive are n-truncation and quotients. These are defined in init.hit and they have definitional computation rules on the point constructors.
