We prove that there is only one proof of x=x, i.e eq_refl x.
This holds if the equality upon the set of x is decidable.
A corollary of this theorem is the equality of the right projections
of two equal dependent pairs.

Now we prove the versions that require decidable equality for the entire type
rather than just on the given element. The rest of the file uses this total
decidable equality. We could do everything using decidable equality at a point
(because the induction rule for eq is really an induction rule for
{ y : A | x = y }), but we don't currently, because changing everything
would break backward compatibility and no-one has yet taken the time to define
the pointed versions, and then re-define the non-pointed versions in terms of
those.
