Removing template polymorphism for definitions.

The use of template polymorphism in constants was quite limited, as it
only applied to definitions that were exactly inductive types without any
parameter whatsoever. Furthermore, it seems that following the introduction
of polymorphic definitions, the code path enforced regular polymorphism as
soon as the type of a definition was given, which was in practice almost
always.

Removing this feature had no observable effect neither on the test-suite,
nor on any development that we monitor on Travis. I believe it is safe to
assume it was nowadays useless.
