 commit f20cf982f126aea968ed6a482551550ffb6650cf

     Remove wc_insol from WantedConstraints

     This patch is a pure refactoring, which I've wanted to do for
     some time.  The main payload is

     * Remove the wc_insol field from WantedConstraints;
       instead put all the insolubles in wc_simple

     * Remove inert_insols from InertCans
       Instead put all the insolubles in inert_irreds

     * Add a cc_insol flag to CIrredCan, to record that
       the constraint is definitely insoluble

     Reasons

     * Quite a bit of code gets slightly simpler
     * Fewer concepts to keep separate
     * Insolubles don't happen at all in production code that is
       just being recompiled, so previously there was a lot of
       moving-about of empty sets

     A couple of error messages acutally improved.
