Branch cleanup coming soon - please take inventory

[Iavor Diatchki]

Hi,

good idea!  I've been thinking I should clean up my branches :)   I updated
the wiki to reflect the state of the branches I know about.  In short
`wip/ext-solver` + `master` subsumes all of: `type-nats`,
`type-nats-simple`, and `decision-procedure`.

Cheers,
Iavor
