Julien Fischer 459847a064 Move the univ, maybe, pair and unit types from std_util into their own
Estimated hours taken: 18
Branches: main

Move the univ, maybe, pair and unit types from std_util into their own
modules.  std_util still contains the general purpose higher-order programming
constructs.

library/std_util.m:
	Move univ, maybe, pair and unit (plus any other related types
	and procedures) into their own modules.

library/maybe.m:
	New module.  This contains the maybe and maybe_error types and
	the associated procedures.

library/pair.m:
	New module.  This contains the pair type and associated procedures.

library/unit.m:
	New module. This contains the types unit/0 and unit/1.

library/univ.m:
	New module. This contains the univ type and associated procedures.

library/library.m:
	Add the new modules.

library/private_builtin.m:
	Update the declaration of the type_ctor_info struct for univ.

runtime/mercury.h:
	Update the declaration for the type_ctor_info struct for univ.

runtime/mercury_mcpp.h:
runtime/mercury_hlc_types.h:
	Update the definition of MR_Univ.

runtime/mercury_init.h:
	Fix a comment: ML_type_name is now exported from type_desc.m.

compiler/mlds_to_il.m:
	Update the the name of the module that defines univs (which are
	handled specially by the il code generator.)

library/*.m:
compiler/*.m:
browser/*.m:
mdbcomp/*.m:
profiler/*.m:
deep_profiler/*.m:
	Conform to the above changes.  Import the new modules where they
	are needed; don't import std_util where it isn't needed.

	Fix formatting in lots of modules.  Delete duplicate module
	imports.

tests/*:
	Update the test suite to confrom to the above changes.

For documentation on the deep profiler, see the following:

  - The "Deep Profiler" section of the Mercury web page
    <http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/mercury/information/deep_demo.html>
    gives an overview of what deep profiling is.

  - The deep profiling paper on our web site, "Deep profiling:
    engineering a profiler for a declarative programming language"
    <http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/mercury/information/papers.html#mu_01_24>
    explains in detail what deep profiling is, why it is needed,
    and how it is implemented in the Mercury compiler.

  - The "Using mdprof" section of the "Profiling" chapter of the
    Mercury user's guide explains how to use it.

  - The file deep_profiler/notes/deep_profiling.html gives an overview of
    the specifics details of our implementation of deep profiling.
