This is more consistent with the definition of the extension order, which
is also defined in terms of an existential.

This reverts commit 20b4ae55, which does
not seem to work with Coq 8.5pl2 (I accidentally tested with 8.5pl1).

This makes type checking more directed, and somewhat more predictable.

On the downside, it makes it impossible to declare the singleton on
lists as an instance of SingletonM and the insert and alter operations
on functions as instances of Alter and Insert. However, these were not
used often anyway.

be the same as ↔.

This is a fairly intrusive change, but at least makes notations more
consistent, and often shorter because fewer parentheses are needed. Note
that viewshifts already had the same precedence as →.

Based on an idea and WIP commits of J-H. Jourdan: the core of a CMRA
A is now a partial function A → option A.

TODO: define sum CMRA
TODO: remove one shot CMRA and define it in terms of sum

- Make the carrier argument of the constructors for the canonical structures
  cofeT and cmraT explicit. This way we make sure the carrier is properly
  exposed, instead of some alias of the carrier.
- Make derived constructions (such as discreteC and discreteR) notations
  instead of definitions. This is yet again to make sure that the carrier is
  properly exposed.
- Turn DRA into a canonical structure (it used to be a type class).

This fixes some issues, notably it fixes some broken rewrites in algebra/sts
and it makes canonical structures work properly with dec_agree.
