    The idea on magic wand is to use it for curried lemmas and use ⊢ for uncurried lemmas.

We do this by introducing a type class UpClose with notation ↑.

The reason for this change is as follows: since `nclose : namespace
→ coPset` is declared as a coercion, the notation `nclose N ⊆ E` was
pretty printed as `N ⊆ E`. However, `N ⊆ E` could not be typechecked
because type checking goes from left to right, and as such would look
for an instance `SubsetEq namespace`, which causes the right hand side
to be ill-typed.

The old choice for ★ was a arbitrary: the precedence of the ASCII asterisk *
was fixed at a wrong level in Coq, so we had to pick another symbol. The ★ was
a random choice from a unicode chart.

The new symbol ∗ (as proposed by David Swasey) corresponds better to
conventional practise and matches the symbol we use on paper.

There are now two proof mode tactics for dealing with modalities:

- `iModIntro` : introduction of a modality
- `iMod pm_trm as (x1 ... xn) "ipat"` : eliminate a modality

The behavior of these tactics can be controlled by instances of the `IntroModal`
and `ElimModal` type class. We have declared instances for later, except 0,
basic updates and fancy updates. The tactic `iMod` is flexible enough that it
can also eliminate an updates around a weakest pre, and so forth.

The corresponding introduction patterns of these tactics are `!>` and `>`.

These tactics replace the tactics `iUpdIntro`, `iUpd` and `iTimeless`.

Source of backwards incompatability: the introduction pattern `!>` is used for
introduction of arbitrary modalities. It used to introduce laters by stripping
of a later of each hypotheses.

And also rename the corresponding proof mode tactics.

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).

The intropattern {H} also meant clear (both in ssreflect, and the logic
part of the introduction pattern).

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 →.

It used to be: (P ={E}=> Q) := (True ⊢ (P → |={E}=> Q))
Now it is: (P ={E}=> Q) := (P ⊢ |={E}=> Q)

Changes:
- We no longer have a different syntax for specializing a term H : P -★ Q whose
  range P or domain Q is persistent. There is just one syntax, and the system
  automatically determines whether either P or Q is persistent.
- While specializing a term, always modalities are automatically stripped. This
  gets rid of the specialization pattern !.
- Make the syntax of specialization patterns more consistent. The syntax for
  generating a goal is [goal_spec] where goal_spec is one of the following:

    H1 .. Hn : generate a goal using hypotheses H1 .. Hn
   -H1 .. Hn : generate a goal using all hypotheses but H1 .. Hn
           # : generate a goal for the premise in which all hypotheses can be
               used. This is only allowed when specializing H : P -★ Q where
               either P or Q is persistent.
           % : generate a goal for a pure premise.

iSpecialize and iDestruct.

These tactics now all take an iTrm, which is a tuple consisting of
a.) a lemma or name of a hypotheses b.) arguments to instantiate
c.) a specialization pattern.

Thanks to Amin Timany for the suggestion.

Add both non-expansive and contractive functors, and bundle them for the general Iris instance as well as the global functor construction

This allows us to move the \later in the user-defined functor to any place we want.
In particular, we can now have "\later (iProp -> iProp)" in the ghost CMRA.

This cleans up some ad-hoc stuff and prepares for a generalization
of saved propositions.

Still need to use it everywhere.

It is doing much more than just dealing with ∈, it solves all kinds
of goals involving set operations (including ≡ and ⊆).

* These type classes bundle an identifier into the global CMRA with a proof
  that the identifier points to the correct CMRA. Bundling allows us to get
  rid of many arguments everywhere.

* I have setup the type classes so that we no longer have to keep track of the
  global CMRA identifiers. These are implicit and resolved automatically.

* For heap I am also bundling the name of the heap RA instance. There always
  should be at most one heap instance so this does not introduce ambiguities.

* We now have a "maps to" notation!
