Mark Brown 4fec7f6137 Add a front end to the declarative debugger, written in Mercury.
Estimated hours taken: 80

Add a front end to the declarative debugger, written in Mercury.  Modify
the back end to call this whenever an EDT is built.  Also, various
bug fixes and improvements.

browser/declarative_debugger.m:
	New module.  This is a first implementation of the front end of
	the declarative debugger.  It uses a simple top-down algorithm
	to search the EDT for a buggy node.  The results are printed
	in a simple format to the output stream.  It is called from the
	back end, in trace/mercury_trace_declarative.c.

browser/declarative_oracle.m:
	New module.  This is a first implementation of an oracle for the
	declarative debugger.  It simply passes all queries directly
	on to the user.

browser/browser_library.m:
	Import the new modules.

trace/mercury_trace_declarative.c:
	- Various fixes/improvements of comments.
	- Fix bugs where `int' is used instead of `Unsigned'.
	- Pass the event_info structure to MR_trace_decl_update_path,
	  rather than passing various components of it.
	- Use the copy of MR_trace_event_number in the event_info structure
	  rather than referring to the global variable directly.
	- Remove the EDT printing functions, as they have been superseded by
	  the new front end.  Call the new front end instead of these old
	  functions.
	- Provide an interface to the EDT nodes that is imported by the
	  front end.
	- Ensure that, after diagnosis, we end up at the same event we
	  started at.
	- Fix a bug where it was assumed all procedures had at least one
	  argument.
	- Ensure that the user is notified if the dd_wrong operation cannot
	  be started due to MR_trace_retry failing.

trace/mercury_trace_declarative.h:
	- Move a #include to the correct place.
	- Declare the interface to the EDT nodes.

trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
	Fix a bug introduced earlier.

runtime/mercury_conf_param.h:
	Add a new configuration macro, MR_DEBUG_DD_BACK_END.  When defined
	this causes information about the declarative debugger back end
	to be printed out during operation.
