Add a `with_strategy` tactic
Useful for guarding calls to `unfold` or `cbv` to ensure that, e.g., `Opaque foo` doesn't break some automation which tries to unfold `foo`. We have some timeouts in the strategy success file. We should not run into issues, because we are not really testing how long these take. We could just as well use `Timeout 60` or longer, we just want to make sure the file dies more quickly rather than taking over 10^100 steps. Note that this tactic does not play well with `abstract`; I have a potentially controversial change that fixes this issue.
