[exn] [tactics] improve backtraces on monadic errors
Current backtraces for tactics leave a bit to desire, for example given the program: ```coq Lemma u n : n + 0 = n. rewrite plus_O_n. ``` the backtrace stops at: ``` Found no subterm matching "0 + ?M160" in the current goal. Called from file "proofs/proof.ml", line 381, characters 4-42 Called from file "tactics/pfedit.ml", line 102, characters 31-58 Called from file "plugins/ltac/g_ltac.mlg", line 378, characters 8-84 ``` Backtrace information `?info` is as of today optional in some tactics, such as `tclZERO`, it doesn't cost a lot however to reify backtrace information indeed in `tclZERO` and provide backtraces for all tactic errors. The cost should be small if we are not in debug mode. The backtrace for the failed rewrite is now: ``` Found no subterm matching "0 + ?M160" in the current goal. Raised at file "pretyping/unification.ml", line 1827, characters 14-73 Called from file "pretyping/unification.ml", line 1929, characters 17-53 Called from file "pretyping/unification.ml", line 1948, characters 22-72 Called from file "pretyping/unification.ml", line 2020, characters 14-56 Re-raised at file "pretyping/unification.ml", line 2021, characters 66-73 Called from file "proofs/clenv.ml", line 254, characters 12-58 Called from file "proofs/clenvtac.ml", line 95, characters 16-53 Called from file "engine/proofview.ml", line 1110, characters 40-46 Called from file "engine/proofview.ml", line 1115, characters 10-34 Re-raised at file "clib/exninfo.ml", line 82, characters 4-38 Called from file "proofs/proof.ml", line 381, characters 4-42 Called from file "tactics/pfedit.ml", line 102, characters 31-58 Called from file "plugins/ltac/g_ltac.mlg", line 378, characters 8-84 ``` which IMO is much better.
