This generalization is surprisingly easy in Iris 3.0, so I could not
resist not doing it :).

This commit features:

- A simpler model. The recursive domain equation no longer involves a triple
  containing invariants, physical state and ghost state, but just ghost state.
  Invariants and physical state are encoded using (higher-order) ghost state.

- (Primitive) view shifts are formalized in the logic and all properties about
  it are proven in the logic instead of the model. Instead, the core logic
  features only a notion of raw view shifts which internalizing performing frame
  preserving updates.

- A better behaved notion of mask changing view shifts. In particular, we no
  longer have side-conditions on transitivity of view shifts, and we have a
  rule for introduction of mask changing view shifts |={E1,E2}=> P with
  E2 ⊆ E1 which allows to postpone performing a view shift.

- The weakest precondition connective is formalized in the logic using Banach's
  fixpoint. All properties about the connective are proven in the logic instead
  of directly in the model.

- Adequacy is proven in the logic and uses a primitive form of adequacy for
  uPred that only involves raw views shifts and laters.

Some remarks:

- I have removed binary view shifts. I did not see a way to describe all rules
  of the new mask changing view shifts using those.
- There is no longer the need for the notion of "frame shifting assertions" and
  these are thus removed. The rules for Hoare triples are thus also stated in
  terms of primitive view shifts.

TODO:

- Maybe rename primitive view shift into something more sensible
- Figure out a way to deal with closed proofs (see the commented out stuff in
  tests/heap_lang and tests/barrier_client).

In particular, remove ectx_language.atomic, because it seems unused
expect for a smart constructor for language.atomic.

* Values are considered as atomic expressions (this does not hurt, and
  this makes the proofs of atomicity simpler).

I also reverted 7952bca4 since there is no need for atomic to be a
boolean predicate anymore. Moreover, I introduced a hint database
fsaV for solving side-conditions related to FSAs, in particular,
side-conditions related to expressions being atomic.

This gets rid of the (ambiguous) notation %l, because we can declare
LitLoc as a coercion. It also shortens the code.

This required a new ectx axiom: Positivity of evaluation contexts. This axiom was
also present in the old Iris 1.1 development, back when it still derived lifting
axioms for ectx languages.

Thanks to Amin Timany for the suggestion.

For consistency's sake.

simplify_equality        => simplify_eq
simplify_equality'       => simplify_eq/=
simplify_map_equality    => simplify_map_eq
simplify_map_equality'   => simplify_map_eq/=
simplify_option_equality => simplify_option_eq
simplify_list_equality   => simplify_list_eq
f_equal'                 => f_equal/=

The /= suffixes (meaning: do simpl) are inspired by ssreflect.

The tactic injection H as H is doing exactly that.

It now also reshapes expressions as values for contexts that need
values such as AppECtx.

Also, make our redefinition of done more robust under different
orders of Importing modules.

add basic notions of literals, unary operators and binary operators, and use them to define +, -, <=, ...

Notable changes:
* I am now using the same names for the fields of the language record and the
  instances in heap_lang. In order to deal with shadowing, I have put all
  definitions in heap_lang.v in a module.
* Instead of defining evaluation contexts recursively, these are now defined
  using lists. This way we can easily reuse operations on lists. For example,
  composition of evaluation contexts is just appending lists. Also, it allowed
  me to simplify the rather complicated proof of step_by_val as induction on
  the shape of contexts no longer results in a blow-up of the number of cases.
* Use better automation to prove all lemmas of heap_lang.
* I have introduced tactics to invert steps and to do steps. These tactics
  greatly helped simplifying boring parts of lifting lemmas.
