[econstr] Forbid calling `to_constr` in open terms.
We forbid calling `EConstr.to_constr` on terms that are not evar-free, as to progress towards enforcing the invariant that `Constr.t` is evar-free. [c.f. #6308] Due to compatibility constraints we provide an optional parameter to `to_constr`, `abort` which can be used to overcome this restriction until we fix all parts of the code. Now, grepping for `~abort:false` should return the questionable parts of the system. Not a lot of places had to be fixed, some comments: - problems with the interface due to `Evd/Constr` [`Evd.define` being the prime example] do seem real! - inductives also look bad with regards to `Constr/EConstr`. - code in plugins needs work. A notable user of this "feature" is `Obligations/Program` that seem to like to generate kernel-level entries with free evars, then to scan them and workaround this problem by generating constants.
