TmOracle: Replace negative term equalities by refutable PmAltCons

The `PmExprEq` business was a huge hack and was at the same time vastly
too powerful and not powerful enough to encode negative term equalities,
i.e. facts of the form "forall y. x ≁ Just y".

This patch introduces the concept of 'refutable shapes': What matters
for the pattern match checker is being able to encode knowledge of the
kind "x can no longer be the literal 5". We encode this knowledge in a
`PmRefutEnv`, mapping a set of newly introduced `PmAltCon`s (which are
just `PmLit`s at the moment) to each variable denoting above
inequalities.

So, say we have `x ≁ 42 ∈ refuts` in the term oracle context and
try to solve an equality like `x ~ 42`. The entry in the refutable
environment will immediately lead to a contradiction.

This machinery renders the whole `PmExprEq` and `ComplexEq` business
unnecessary, getting rid of a lot of (mostly dead) code.

See the Note [Refutable shapes] in TmOracle for a place to start.

-{- Note [Representation of Term Equalities]
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-In the paper, term constraints always take the form (x ~ e). Of course, a more
-general constraint of the form (e1 ~ e1) can always be transformed to an
-equivalent set of the former constraints, by introducing a fresh, intermediate
-variable: { y ~ e1, y ~ e1 }. Yet, implementing this representation gave rise
-to #11160 (incredibly bad performance for literal pattern matching). Two are
-the main sources of this problem (the actual problem is how these two interact
-with each other):
-
-1. Pattern matching on literals generates twice as many constraints as needed.
-   Consider the following (tests/ghci/should_run/ghcirun004):
-
-    foo :: Int -> Int
-    foo 1    = 0
-    ...
-    foo 5000 = 4999
-
-   The covered and uncovered set *should* look like:
-     U0 = { x |> {} }
-
-     C1  = { 1  |> { x ~ 1 } }
-     U1  = { x  |> { False ~ (x ~ 1) } }
-     ...
-     C10 = { 10 |> { False ~ (x ~ 1), .., False ~ (x ~ 9), x ~ 10 } }
-     U10 = { x  |> { False ~ (x ~ 1), .., False ~ (x ~ 9), False ~ (x ~ 10) } }
-     ...
-
-     If we replace { False ~ (x ~ 1) } with { y ~ False, y ~ (x ~ 1) }
-     we get twice as many constraints. Also note that half of them are just the
-     substitution [x |-> False].
-
-2. The term oracle (`tmOracle` in deSugar/TmOracle) uses equalities of the form
-   (x ~ e) as substitutions [x |-> e]. More specifically, function
-   `extendSubstAndSolve` applies such substitutions in the residual constraints
-   and partitions them in the affected and non-affected ones, which are the new
-   worklist. Essentially, this gives quadradic behaviour on the number of the
-   residual constraints. (This would not be the case if the term oracle used
-   mutable variables but, since we use it to handle disjunctions on value set
-   abstractions (`Union` case), we chose a pure, incremental interface).
-
-Now the problem becomes apparent (e.g. for clause 300):
-  * Set U300 contains 300 substituting constraints [y_i |-> False] and 300
-    constraints that we know that will not reduce (stay in the worklist).
-  * To check for consistency, we apply the substituting constraints ONE BY ONE
-    (since `tmOracle` is called incrementally, it does not have all of them
-    available at once). Hence, we go through the (non-progressing) constraints
-    over and over, achieving over-quadradic behaviour.
-
-If instead we allow constraints of the form (e ~ e),
-  * All uncovered sets Ui contain no substituting constraints and i
-    non-progressing constraints of the form (False ~ (x ~ lit)) so the oracle
-    behaves linearly.
-  * All covered sets Ci contain exactly (i-1) non-progressing constraints and
-    a single substituting constraint. So the term oracle goes through the
-    constraints only once.
-
-The performance improvement becomes even more important when more arguments are
-involved.

+The positive information is strictly more informative than the negative.
+
+Suppose we are adding the (positive) fact @x :-> e@ to 'tm_pos'. Then we must
+delete any binding for @x@ from 'tm_neg', to uphold the invariant.
+
+But there is more! Suppose we are adding @x :-> y@ to 'tm_pos', and 'tm_neg'
+contains @x :-> cs, y :-> ds at . Then we want to update 'tm_neg' to
+ at y :-> (cs ++ ds)@, to make use of the negative information we have about @x at .

-{- Note [Deep equalities]
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Solving nested equalities is the most difficult part. The general strategy
-is the following:
+{- Note [Refutable shapes]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Consider a pattern match like
+
+    foo x
+      | 0 <- x = 42
+      | 0 <- x = 43
+      | 1 <- x = 44
+      | otherwise = 45
+
+This will result in the following initial matching problem:
+
+    PatVec: x     (0 <- x)
+    ValVec: $tm_y
+
+Where the first line is the pattern vector and the second line is the value
+vector abstraction. When we handle the first pattern guard in Check, it will be
+desugared to a match of the form
+
+    PatVec: x     0
+    ValVec: $tm_y x
+
+In LitVar, this will split the value vector abstraction for `x` into a positive
+`PmLit 0` and a negative `PmLit x [0]` value abstraction. While the former is
+immediately matched against the pattern vector, the latter (vector value
+abstraction `~[0] $tm_y`) is completely uncovered by the clause.
+
+`pmcheck` proceeds by *discarding* the the value vector abstraction involving
+the guard to accomodate for the desugaring. But this also discards the valuable
+information that `x` certainly is not the literal 0! Consequently, we wouldn't
+be able to report the second clause as redundant.
 
-  * Equalities of the form (True ~ (e1 ~ e2)) are transformed to just
-    (e1 ~ e2) and then treated recursively.
+That's a typical example of why we need the term oracle, and in this specific
+case, the ability to encode that `x` certainly is not the literal 0. Now the
+term oracle can immediately refute the constraint `x ~ 0` generated by the
+second clause and report the clause as redundant. After the third clause, the
+set of such *refutable* literals is again extended to `[0, 1]`.
 
-  * Equalities of the form (False ~ (e1 ~ e2)) cannot be analyzed unless
-    we know more about the inner equality (e1 ~ e2). That's exactly what
-    `simplifyEqExpr' tries to do: It takes e1 and e2 and either returns
-    truePmExpr, falsePmExpr or (e1' ~ e2') in case it is uncertain. Note
-    that it is not e but rather e', since it may perform some
-    simplifications deeper.
+In general, we want to store a set of refutable shapes (`PmAltCon`) for each
+variable. That's the purpose of the `PmRefutEnv`. `addSolveRefutableAltCon` will
+add such a refutable mapping to the `PmRefutEnv` in the term oracles state and
+check if causes any immediate contradiction. Whenever we record a solution in
+the substitution via `extendSubstAndSolve`, the refutable environment is checked
+for any matching refutable `PmAltCon`.
