- Cleanup parsing of binders, reducing to a single production for all

  binders.
- Change syntax of type class instances to better match the usual syntax of
  lemmas/definitions with name first, then arguments ":" instance.
  Update theories/Classes accordingly.
- Correct globalization of tactic references when doing Ltac :=/::=, update
  documentation.
- Remove the not so useful "(x &)" and "{{x}}" syntaxes from
  Program.Utils, and subset_scope as well.
