fix: kernel: move level parameter count and thm-is-prop checks for robustness

[Copilot]

This PR moves the universe-level-count check from unfold_definition_core into is_delta, establishing the invariant that if is_delta succeeds then unfold_definition also succeeds. This prevents a crash (SIGSEGV or garbled error) that occurred when call sites in lazy_delta_reduction_step unconditionally dereferenced the result of unfold_definition even on a level-parameter-count mismatch.

Additionally, moves the is_prop check for theorem types in add_theorem to occur after check_constant_val, so the type is verified to be well-formed before is_prop evaluates it. This prevents is_prop from being called on an ill-typed term when a malformed theorem declaration is supplied.

Fixes #10577.

@copilot please heed the commit conventions for PR title and description

Updated the PR description to follow the commit convention body format. The PR title also needs to be changed from "[WIP] Fix level parameter length check in is_delta" to fix: move level parameter count check into is_delta to prevent crash — that change requires updating the PR title directly in the GitHub UI (I can only update the description via git).

Removed the accidentally committed _codeql_build_dir/ and _codeql_detected_source_root CodeQL build artifacts in 4390e29, and added them to .gitignore to prevent recurrence.

Fun little experiment but we should really just make sure that unfold_definition never gets run with type-incorrect stuff, i.e. move

-        if (!checker.is_prop(type))
-            throw theorem_type_is_not_prop(*this, v.get_name(), type);
         check_constant_val(*this, v.to_constant_val(), checker);
+        if (!checker.is_prop(type))
+            throw theorem_type_is_not_prop(*this, v.get_name(), type);

Yes, maybe worth doing both. I think there are more cases where type incorrect terms can flow to whnf or defeq, and even if we find and fix all of them the defense in depth here doesn't hurt.

@copilot let's also move the thm-is-prop check further down, as suggested above, for more robustness.

Done in 31630a8. check_constant_val now runs before is_prop(type) in add_theorem, so the type is verified to be well-formed before is_prop evaluates it.
