Now reporting an error if we can't find a package that satisfies the
constraints. The version number field can still be a string (as it used
to be) but will give a deprecation warning - and the old style version
string wasn't used anyway.
Version constraints can have an upper and/or lower bound, which can be
inclusive or not.
Until yesterday I did not know Idris2 accesses environment variables.
Mentioning them in `--help` would educate other users.
Not all descriptions make sense, I tried my best to guess them.

Written by Volkmar Frinken (@vfrinken). This is intended as a
lightweight (i.e. minimal dependencies) code generator that can be
ported to multiple platforms, especially those with memory constraints.
It shouldn't be expected to be anywhere near as fast as the Scheme back
end, for lots of reasons. The main goal is portability.
`Core.Context` is 2k+ LoC and contains a *lot* of different thins.
Rather than moving the `log` functions above of `addData` to be able
to add logging there, fork them off to independent files to make the
whole thing more readable.
Until now namespaces were stored as (reversed) lists of strings.
It led to:
* confusing code where we work on the underlying representation of
namespaces rather than say what we mean (using `isSuffixOf` to mean
`isParentOf`)
* potentially introducing errors by not respecting the invariant cf.
bug report #616 (but also name generation in the scheme backend
although that did not lead to bugs as it was self-consistent AFAICT)
* ad-hoc code to circumvent overlapping interface implementation when
showing / pretty-printing namespaces
This PR introduces a `Namespace` newtype containing a list of strings.
Nested namespaces are still stored in reverse order but the exposed
interface aims to support programming by saying what we mean
(`isParentOf`, `isApproximationOf`, `X <.> Y` computes to `X.Y`, etc.)
irrespective of the underlying representation.

This introduces a Namespace newtype containing non-empty lists of

The idea is to make everything accessible via the API, so
codegen implementors will be able to reuse all infrastructure by calling
the appropriate function in Idris.Driver supplying their codegen.
This invokes a script of type Elab (). %runElan in a term invokes a
script of type Elab TT. The elaborator now pushes in that type, so that
it'll report an appropriate error if you give it a script of the wrong
type.
Don't get too excited yet - I want this in so that it doesn't get too
out of sync, but I still have to think about exactly how it's going to
work in practice.
