Summary:
Distinguish expressions that name functions from registers. This leads
to clearer code, and function names are semantically distinct from
general registers. In particular, they are constant, so any machinery
for handling assignment does not need to consider them. Unlike general
globals, they never have initializer expressions, and in particular
not recursive initializers. This diff only adds the distinction to
LLAIR, it is not pushed through to FOL, which will come later.

Summary:
The support for recursive references to globals from within their
initializers is enough to handle all the cases of recursive structs
that have been encountered so far. Therefore this diff removes the
complication of recursive records entirely.

Summary:
Change the type of `fold` functions to enable them to compose
better. The guiding reasoning behind using types such as:
```
val fold : 'a t -> 's -> f:('a -> 's -> 's) -> 's
```
is:
1. The function argument should be labeled. This is so that it can be
reordered relative to the others, since it is often a multi-line
`fun` expression.
2. The function argument should come last. This enables its
arguments (which are often polymorphic) to benefit from type-based
disambiguation information determined by the types of the other
arguments at the call sites.
3. The function argument's type should produce an
accumulator-transformer when partially-applied. That is,
`f x : 's -> 's`. This composes well with other functions designed
to produce transformers/endofunctions when partially applied, and
in particular improves the common case of composing folds into
"state-passing style" code.
4. The fold function itself should produce an accumulator-transformer
when partially applied. So `'a t -> 's -> f:_ -> 's` rather than
`'s -> 'a t -> f:_ -> 's` or `'a t -> init:'s -> f:_ -> 's` etc.

Summary:
The changes in set_intf.ml dictate the rest. The previous API
minimized changes when changing the backing implementation. But that
API is hostile toward composition, partial application, and
state-passing style code.

Summary:
The treatment of comparison and exceptions in Core/Core_kernel/Base
makes them questionable as the default. This diff changes nonstdlib so
that Core is no longer opened in the global namespace, and makes a few
changes to handle the resulting minor API changes. This leads to a
lighter-touch nonstdlib, which makes a few definitions of its own, and
selects and extends modules from several libraries, including base,
core_kernel, containers, iter.

Summary:
Code is expressed using Llair.Exp, which is potentially higher
fidelity than Term. So define the interval analysis directly in terms
of the Llair form.

Just to avoid confusion over directories named 'bin' being expected to
