Fergus Henderson fdc28ddd56 Improve the modularity of the code in purity.m by splitting it into two
Estimated hours taken: 2

Improve the modularity of the code in purity.m by splitting it into two
modules and fix a purity-related bug by moving some code from typecheck.m
into the new module.

compiler/post_typecheck.m:
	New module.  Handles the typechecking stuff that happens
	after typecheck.m.

compiler/purity.m:
	Move the typechecking related code in purity.m into post_typecheck.m.

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Move the code for copying clauses to the proc_infos, etc. into
	new predicates in post_typecheck.m.  This code is now called
	from purity.m rather than from typecheck.m.
	(I think the fact that it was being done in typecheck.m was a
	bug -- it meant that the goal_info flags computed by purity.m
	were not being copied across to the proc_infos.)

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
compiler/typecheck.m:
	Don't pass the ModeError parameter down to typecheck_pred,
	since with the above change it isn't needed anymore.

compiler/mercury_compile.m:
	Run purity checking before writing the `.opt' files.
	This is necessary because writing out the `.opt' files
	requires that code in post_typecheck__finish_pred
	(formerly in typecheck.m) has been run.

compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
	Document these changes.
