Julien Fischer caa865fd92 Fix a bug in the termination analyser where setting the termination
Estimated hours taken: 2
Branches: main

Fix a bug in the termination analyser where setting the termination
norm to `num-data-elems' causes the an internal abort when analysing
code involving existential typeclass constraints.

The bug is caused by the length of the list of arguments of a
functor differing from the length of the list in the weight table that
tells the compiler which arguments to count when computing the size
of that functor.

The length mismatch is caused by typeinfo related variables that
are introduced by the compiler for existentially typed terms.  The
termination analyser includes them but the weight table does not.
I committed a diff a few months ago that partially fixed this problem,
but programs that use existential typeclass constraints break that fix
as well.

The diff implements the easiest solution to all this which is to
have the termination analyser remove all the typeinfo related arguments
of a term before calling term_norm.functor_norm/9.

This diff also fixes a few things in the tests/term directory, namely
making sure that we actually run the tests, updating the module qualifier
in a few .trans_opt_exp files and updating some comments.

compiler/term_norm.m:
	Ignore any typeinfo related arguments that a term has when
	building the weight table.

compiler/term_traversal.m:
	Remove any typeinfo related arguments from the lists of
	arguments and modes before computing the size of a term.

tests/term/Mercury.options:
tests/term/existential_error3.m:
tests/term/existential_error3.trans_opt_exp:
	Add a regression test for this bug.

tests/term/Mmakefile:
	Make sure the $(TESTS) and $(PROGS) variables are fully defined
	before Mmake.common is included, otherwise the tests will not run.
	Add the new regression test.

tests/term/existential_error1.m:
tests/term/existential_error2.m:
	The code that caused these bugs has been moved from term_util.m
	to term_norm.m.  Update the references to the old filename.

tests/term/*.trans_opt_exp:
	Replaces instances of `:' as the module qualifier with `.'.
	Quite a few tests cases were failing because the .trans_opt
	files use the latter.
