Subject: Enforcing a stronger difference between the two syntaxes "simpl
 reference" and "simpl pattern" in the code (maybe we should have merged them
 instead, but I finally decided to enforce their difference, even if some
 compatibility is to be preversed - the idea is that at some time "simpl
 reference" would only call a weak-head simpl (or eventually cbn), leading
 e.g. to reduce 2+n into S(1+n) rather than S(S(n)) which could be useful for
 better using induction hypotheses.

In the process we also implement the following:
- 'simpl "+"' is accepted to reduce all applicative subterms whose
  head symbol is written "+" (in the toplevel scope); idem for
  vm_compute and native_compute
- 'simpl reference' works even if reference has maximally inserted
  implicit arguments (this solves the "simpl fst" incompatibility)
- compatibility of ltac expressions referring to vm_compute and
  native_compute with functor application should now work (i.e.
  vm_compute and native_compute are now taken into account in
  tacsubst.ml)
- for compatibility, "simpl eq" (assuming no maximal implicit args in
  eq) or "simpl @eq" to mean "simpl (eq _ _)" are still allowed.

By the way, is "mul" on nat defined optimally? "3*n" simplifies to
"n+(n+(n+0))". Are there some advantages of this compared to have it
simplified to "n+n+n" (i.e. to "(n+n)+n").
