Implement integer variable detection
This adds support for detecting integer variables in formulas.

The idea is to iteratively assume variables to be noninteger and to
prove that this would lead to a false or erroneous result. If the proof
is successful, the variable is integer as a consequence.

The implementation consists of two parts. The first one is a visitor
class that recursively searches for all declared variables in a formula
and applies the second part, a custom check. Three such checks are
implemented.

The first one tests whether a predicate definition is falsified by
making a variable noninteger, in which case it can be concluded that the
variable in question is integer. The second one checks whether bound
variables in a quantified formula turn the quantified part false, again
to conclude that variables are integer. The third check consists in
testing if making a variable noninteger turns the entire formula
obtained from completion true. In this case, the statement can be
dropped and the variable is concluded to be integer as well.
