Zoltan Somogyi 68f0bbf83a Improve error messages about missing predicates.
compiler/make_hlds_error.m:
    When printing an error message about a predicate or function with
    a given name and arity not being found, print the arities for which
    there *is* a predicate or function with that name.

compiler/hlds_error_util.m:
    Provide utility predicates to find the arities with which a name exists.

compiler/typecheck_errors.m:
    Delete the code that is now one of the utility predicates in
    hlds_error_util.m.

compiler/add_foreign_proc.m:
compiler/add_pragma.m:
compiler/add_pragma_type_spec.m:
    When reporting that a foreign_proc or pragma specifies a nonexistent
    predicate or function, tell make_hlds_error.m about the arities
    that the programmer may have meant to put next to the pred or func name.

    When generating error messages about something defined in the current
    module, don't module qualify its name, since the message is unambiguous
    without, and its presence is just clutter for readers.

    In add_pragma.m, when printing an error message about the pragma being
    added being incompatible with previous pragmas, specify their kinds.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Export the fact that the pred_markers type is implemented as a set.
    In more than 20 years, we have never exploited the fact that this type
    was abstract, and I don't think we would in the next 20 :-) The export
    simplifies new code in add_pragma.m.

compiler/hlds_out_pred.m:
    Add a comment reminding future updaters of some code of a requirement
    placed on it by new code in add_pragma.m.
