preorder reasoning: introduce a Step datatype (#734)
Refactor the DIY equational reasoning library to be a bit more like
the generic pre-order reasoning library:

Change the `...` notation into a constructor for a new `Step` datatype.

This seems to help idris disambiguate between the two kinds of
reasoning when they're used in the same file (e.g., frex).
