[m-dev.] for review: rename tag varieties and simple vectors.

Hi,

This change does some renaming to meet the new nomenclature introduced
in the RTTI paper.

===================================================================

Estimated hours taken: 5

Rename simple tags as unshared tags, complicated tags as shared
remote tags and complicated constant tags as shared local.
Also rename "simple vector" as "functor descriptor",
"functors vector" as "enum vector".

compiler/make_tags.m:
compiler/switch_gen.m:
compiler/tag_switch.m:

	Perform these renamings in the compiler, renaming a few
	functors and data structures.

library/std_util.m:
runtime/mercury_deep_copy_body.h:
runtime/mercury_tabling.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.c:
runtime/mercury_type_info.h:
	Perform these renamings in the library and runtime, renaming
	macros and variables.
