Undo Zoltan's bogus update of all the copyright dates.
The dates in the copyright header should reflect the years
in which the file was modified (and no, changes to the
copyright header itself don't count as modifications).
Estimated hours taken: 1
A few small changes towards supporting backtrackable destructive update
better.
library/mercury_builtin.m:
Add new insts mdi/1 and mostly_dead/0.
library/array.m:
Change the name of the inst for unique arrays
from `array' to `uniq_array' (someone got over-enthusiastic
with global search and replace when uniq_array.m was
renamed array.m).
Add insts for non-unique arrays and mostly-unique arrays.
library/bt_array.m:
Add a comment.
Estimated hours taken: 6
The main purpose of this change is to rename array.m as bt_array.m, and
uniq_array.m as array.m. The interfaces of those two modules have grown
slightly so that they match a little more closely. Details are in the
file NEWS.
The implementation of bt_array (formerly array) has been changed to use
a slightly more efficient implementation.

Interface changes documented.
