Protect the Args field of NAryExpr when it is immutable.
* Made changing the reference throw an exception if the NAryExpr was constructed as immutable * Changed the type of NAryExpr.Args to be IList<Expr> rather than List<Expr> so that when the NAryExpr is immutable I can return ``_Args.AsReadOnly()`` (instead of ``_Args``) which returns a read only wrapper around the List<Expr> so that clients cannot change the list. I came across two problems * Making this change required changing types all over the place (from List<Expr> to IList<Expr>). I feel that changes are extensive enough that there's a good chance that out of tree clients using Boogie's libraries might break. I've waited for a code review but this didn't happen so I'm committing anyway. * I came across something that looks like bad design of the IAppliable interface which potentially breaks immutability enforcement. I've left this as a "FIXME" in this. Here's the problematic method. ``` Type Typecheck(ref List<Expr>/*!*/ args, out TypeParamInstantiation/*!*/ tpInstantiation, TypecheckingContext/*!*/ tc); ``` It potentially allows the instance of the args to be changed which seems very suspect.
