Sebastian Graf a32be44f90 feat: add @[mvcgen_witness_type] attribute for extensible witness classification (#12882)
This PR adds an `@[mvcgen_witness_type]` tag attribute, analogous to
`@[mvcgen_invariant_type]`, that allows users to mark types as witness
types. Goals whose type is an application of a tagged type are
classified as witnesses rather than verification conditions, and appear
in a new `witnesses` section in the `mvcgen` tactic syntax (before
`invariants`).

Witnesses are concrete values the prover supplies (inspired by
zero-knowledge proofs), as opposed to invariants (predicates maintained
across iterations) or verification conditions (propositions to prove).
The test uses a ZK-inspired example where a `SquareRootWitness` value
must be provided by the prover, with the resulting constraint
auto-discharged.

Changes:
- `src/Lean/Elab/Tactic/Do/Attr.lean`: register `@[mvcgen_witness_type]`
tag attribute and `isMVCGenWitnessType` helper
- `src/Lean/Elab/Tactic/Do/VCGen/Basic.lean`: add `witnesses` field to
`State`, three-way classification in `addSubGoalAsVC`
- `src/Std/Tactic/Do/Syntax.lean`: add `witnesses` section syntax
(before `invariants`), extract shared `goalDotAlt`/`goalCaseAlt` syntax
kinds
- `src/Lean/Elab/Tactic/Do/VCGen.lean`: extract shared
`elabGoalSection`, add `elabWitnesses`, wire up witness labeling and
elaboration
- `tests/elab/mvcgenWitnessType.lean`: end-to-end tests for
witness-only, witness with `-leave`, and combined witness+invariant
scenarios
