752bb66f5b Carve four modules out of term.m.
Most modules that imported the old term.m need only a small subset
of its functionality. After this diff, most modules that used to import
term.m will need to import just one more module, and will import many
fewer predicates and functions in total.

library/term_int.m:
    A new module carved out of term.m containing the predicates
    that recognize terms containing integers, and the functions
    that construct such terms.

    While this job has *some* similarity to the job of the existing
    term_conversion.m module, most modules in the compiler use only one
    of those two modules, so merging them would not be a good idea.

library/term_subst.m:
    A new module carved out of term.m containing code to do
    substitutions and renames of various kinds.

    Rename the occurs predicate as var_occurs_in_subst_term,
    and occurs_list as var_occurs_in_subst_terms, since the latter
    are much more descriptive. Change the argument order to match
    the new names (var, subst, term/terms), as the old one did not
    even have the term/terms and the substitution next to each other,
    even though neither makes sense without the other.

library/term_unify.m:
    A new module carved out of term.m containing code to do unifications.

    Give all the predicates more meaningful names:

    unify_term ->                   unify_terms
    unify_term_list ->              unify_term_lists
    unify_term_dont_bind ->         unify_terms_dont_bind
    unify_term_list_dont_bind ->    unify_term_lists_dont_bind
    list_subsumes ->                first_term_list_subsumes_second

library/term_vars.m:
    A new module carved out of term.m containing code that find variables
    in terms.

    Give all the predicates more meaningful names:

    vars ->                         vars_in_term
    vars_2 ->                       vars_in_term_acc
    vars_list ->                    vars_in_terms
    contains_var ->                 term_contains_var
    contains_var_list ->            terms_contain_var

    Don't move the function version of vars_2 to term_vars.m, effectively
    deleting it, since operations that update an accumulator are awkward
    for functions.

library/term.m:
    Keep the moved predicates and functions in term.m, but

    - change their implementation to simply call the moved copy, and
    - obsolete the original in favor of the moved copy.

    Eventually, after either the next release or the release after the next,
    we should delete the obsoleted predicates and functions.

library/MODULES_DOC:
library/library.m:
    Add the new modules as documented parts of the standard library.

compiler/analysis.file.m:
compiler/det_util.m:
