When the typechecker finds highly ambiguous overloading, print what symbols
were overloaded, and where they occurred. Without this information, it is
very hard to fix the error if the predicate body is at all large.
Fix some software engineering problems encountered during this process.
Modify some predicates in error_util in order to simplify their typical usage.
Change the type_ctor type to be not simply a sym_name - int pair but a type
with its own identifying type constructor. Change several other types that
were also sym_name - int pairs (mode_id, inst_id, item_name, module_qual.id
and the related simple_call_id) to have their own function symbols too.
compiler/typecheck_info.m:
Add a field to the typecheck_info structure that records the overloaded
symbols encountered.
compiler/typecheck.m:
When processing ambiguous predicate and function symbols, record this
fact in the typecheck_info.
Add a field to the cons_type_info structure to make this possible.
compiler/typecheck_errors.m:
When printing the message about highly ambiguous overloading,
what the overloaded symbols were and where they occurred.
compiler/error_util.m:
Make error_msg_specs usable with plain in and out modes by separating
out the capability requiring special modes (storing a higher order
value in a function symbol) into its own, rarely used type.
Make component_list_to_line_pieces a bit more flexible.
compiler/prog_data.m:
compiler/module_qual.m:
compiler/recompilation.m:
Change the types listed above from being equivalence types (pairs)
to being proper discriminated union types.
compiler/*.m:
Conform to the changes above.
In some cases, simplify the code's use of error_util.
tests/warnings/ambiguous_overloading.{m,exp}:
Greatly extend this test case to test the new functionality.
tests/recompilation/*.err_exp.2
Reflect the fact that the expected messages now use the standard
error_util way of quoting sym_name/arity pairs.

Recompiling module `pred_ctor_ambiguity_r':

addition of predicate `pred_ctor_ambiguity_r_2.c'/2 could cause an ambiguity

with constructor `c'/1 of type `pred_ctor_ambiguity_r.t'/0.
