Zoltan Somogyi 4aed1a57e4 Print an arg type list diff for arg lists with wrong arity.
When a user writes a clause for a predicate (or function) that does not exist
with that arity, but does exist with one or more other arities, report not
just the list of the other arity/arities, but, for each such other arity,
a diff between the declared arg types and the inferred arg types.

After this diff, we generate output like this:

bad_pred_arity.m:027: Error: clause for predicate `bad_pred_arity.p'/4
bad_pred_arity.m:027:   without corresponding `:- pred' declaration.
bad_pred_arity.m:027:   However, predicates of that name do exist with arities
bad_pred_arity.m:027:   3 and 5.
bad_pred_arity.m:027: Inferred :- pred p(int, string, int, string).
bad_pred_arity.m:027:   The argument list difference from the arity 3 version
bad_pred_arity.m:027:   is
bad_pred_arity.m:027:     pred(
bad_pred_arity.m:027:         int,
bad_pred_arity.m:027:   +     string,
bad_pred_arity.m:027:         int,
bad_pred_arity.m:027:         string
bad_pred_arity.m:027:     )
bad_pred_arity.m:027:   The argument list difference from the arity 5 version
bad_pred_arity.m:027:   is
bad_pred_arity.m:027:     pred(
bad_pred_arity.m:027:         int,
bad_pred_arity.m:027:   -     float,
bad_pred_arity.m:027:         string,
bad_pred_arity.m:027:         int,
bad_pred_arity.m:027:         string
bad_pred_arity.m:027:     )

compiler/typecheck_errors.m:
    Generate the diff part of the message above.

compiler/typecheck.m:
    Invoke typecheck_errors.m when relevant.

compiler/error_util.m:
    When comparing two error_specs, switch from a two-level comparison
    (first the contexts of error_msgs, then everything else) to three levels
    first the contexts of error_msgs, then their error_msg_components,
    then everything else). This is needed to allow the error message from
    make_hlds_error.m (which reports the error and mentions the arities
    with which the named predicate or function does exist) come out before
    the informational message from typecheck.m that prints the inferred
    arg types and their differences from the other arities. (With the old
    comparison, the difference in severity would trump the invisible order
    components that this diff includes in both specs to force the desire
    order.)

    Base the code comparing error_specs on the code for comparing error_msgs.
    Move the two previously separate pieces code for those tasks next to each
    other.

compiler/make_hlds_error.m:
    Add the invisble ordering component.

    When we see clauses with two or more wrong arities for a given predicate
    or function, don't list the automatically created pred declaration
    for an *earlier* wrong-arity clause as a real declaration whose arity
    is to be listed in the error messages we generate for *later* wrong-arity
    clauses.

    Add some documentation.

compiler/add_pred.m:
    Factor out some common code.

library/edit_seq.m:
    A new module for computing diffs.

library/library.m:
library/MODULES_DOC:
    Add the new module to the standard library.

tests/hard_coded/edit_seq_test.{m,exp}:
    A new test case for the diff algorithm.

tests/invalid/bad_pred_arity.{m,err_exp}:
    A new test case for the new error message.

    Enable the new test cases.
