Assign the builtins Int.+, etc to suitable variables Int_+, etc.
_+_ can be Int.+ by default, but we should also keep that value in
Int_+ in case _+_ gets reassigned (with a num typeclass, for
instance).

[WIP] Do the set_getenv
IIRC these were missing to correctly handle the elab context for macro
expansion and Elab_... primitives. Perhaps it would be simpler to call
set_getenv once before macro expansion rather than everywhere where
the context can change. Needs some experimentation and tests.

Make Eq.refl available to the ocaml code
* src/debruijn.ml : Add a definition of the lexp for Eq.refl
* src/builtin.ml : Register the constant Eq.refl
* btl/builtins.typer (Eq_refl) : Use the builtin variable ##Eq.refl
instead of registering the builtin with the `Built-in` form. This
ensures that we have the right variable and type, and might help to
keep things in sync between the ocaml and typer code.
