This PR implements the option `revert`, which is set to `false` by
default. To recover the old `grind` behavior, you should use `grind
+revert`. Previously, `grind` used the `RevSimpIntro` idiom, i.e., it
would revert all hypotheses and then re-introduce them while simplifying
and applying eager `cases`. This idiom created several problems:
* Users reported that `grind` would include unnecessary parameters. See
[here](https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/270676-lean4/topic/Grind.20aggressively.20includes.20local.20hypotheses.2E/near/554887715).
* Unnecessary section variables were also being introduced. See the new
test contributed by Sebastian Graf.
* Finally, it prevented us from supporting arbitrary parameters as we do
in `simp`. In `simp`, I implemented a mechanism that simulates local
universe-polymorphic theorems, but this approach could not be used in
`grind` because there is no mechanism for reverting (and re-introducing)
local universe-polymorphic theorems. Adding such a mechanism would
require substantial work: I would need to modify the local context
object. I considered maintaining a substitution from the original
variables to the new ones, but this is also tricky, because the mapping
would have to be stored in the `grind` goal objects, and it is not just
a simple mapping. After reverting everything, I would need to keep a
sequence of original variables that must be added to the mapping as we
re-introduce them, but eager case splits complicate this quite a bit.
The whole approach felt overly messy.
The new behavior `grind -revert` addresses all these issues. None of the
`grind` proofs in our test suite broke after we fixed the bugs exposed
by the new feature. That said, the traces and counterexamples produced
by `grind` are different. The new proof terms are also different.
