NOTE: this change does not affect the io module -- I've left that for a
separate change.
library/*.m:
As per the recent change to the coding standard, avoid module
qualification in library interfaces where possible.
Reformat declarations and descriptive comments to better utilise
any space freed up by the above.

Support implicit parallelism in the compiler.
The compiler now uses the deep profiler feedback information to build a
parallel version of a program.
Changes have also been made to the feedback format for candidate parallel
conjunctions and the analysis that recommends opportunities for parallelism to
the compiler.
compiler/implicit_parallelism.m:
Mark Tannier's implementation as deprecated (it also crashes the
compiler).
Introduce new implicit parallelism transformation.
apply_implicit_parallelism_transformation now returns maybe_error rather
than maybe so that errors can be described.
compiler/goal_util.m:
Add a predicate to transform a goal referenced by a goal path within a
larger goal structure and rebuild that structure.
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
Conform to changes in implicit_parallelism.m
deep_profiler/mdprof_feedback.m:
Return a cord of warnings from many predicates, these warnings are used to
describe cases where parallelism might be profitable but it is not (yet)
possible to transform the code into parallel code.
Fix a bug whereby the wrong deep profiling statistic was used to calculate
the cost of a call.
Do not attempt to parallelise calls with other goals between them.
mdbcomp/feedback.m:
Remove the intermediate goals information from the candidate parallel
conjunctions feedback data.
mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
Provide a in-order alternative to the goal_path type so that operations on
the start of the goal path occur in constant time and goal_path itself
remains usable as a key in arrays because it doesn't use the cord type
internally.
library/cord.m:
Added a di/uo mode to cord.foldl_pred.
library/list.m:
Added list.find_index_of_match/4 to return the index of the first item in
a list that satisfies the predicate given in the first argument.
library/pqueue.m:
Added pqueue.length/1

Reformat some documentation.

and procedures) into their own modules.

Ralph Becket <rwab1@cam.sri.com>'s changes to add functions for
the remaining output det predicates in a number of modules in the
standard library. Basically, for each
:- pred f(in, ..., in, out) is det.
he has added the declaration
:- func f(in, ..., in) = out.
and definition
f(X1, ..., Xn) = Y :-
f(X1, ..., Xn, Y).
The changes were made using a mostly automatic process.

Enable --warn-interface-imports by default. This was turned off while
list and term were defined in mercury_builtin.m, since it caused many
warnings.
Fix all the unused interface imports that have been added since then.
compiler/options.m:
Enable --warn-interface-imports by default.
compiler/module_qual.m:
Fix formatting inconsistencies with module names in warning
messages. (".m" was not appended to module names if there was
only one module).
compiler/*.m:
library/*.m:
tests/invalid/type_loop.m:
tests/warnings/*.m:
Remove usused interface imports, or move them into
implementation (mostly bool, list and std_util).
varset:
Add some new predicates for the excess assignment pass.
std_util, assoc_list:
Move predicates for associative lists to a new module.
*.m:
Import assoc_list.
library/*.m:
Improve the documentation.
Add a "Stability: low/medium/high" comment to all modules,
which describes the stability of the interface to that module.
ops.m:
Add `:' as an infix operator.
require.m:
Implement require/1, since higher-order predicates now work.
term.m:
Use the type `comparison_result' from mercury_builtin.m,
rather than defining an identical type `comparison'.
bintree_set.nl:
Fix naming conventions (delete/remove).
(XXX should fix set.nl too!)
graph.nl, pqueue.nl, random.nl, bintree_set.nl:
Add missing determinism annotations.
io.nl, io.nu.nl:
Add io__call_system.
mercury_compile.nl:
Call a script `mercury_update_interface' to update the
interface files without stuffing up the timestamps.
Output a `<Module>.date' timestamp file.
Also, eliminate the circular interface dependency warning,
since it was giving false hits on circular implementation
dependencies.
GNUMakefile, Makefile.common, Makefile.mercury:
Fix a bug or two.
Update the interface files intelligently.
