Examples without proper triggers don't verify

Because of a lack of appropriate triggers (at least for composite.sil), the examples composite.sil and bsearch.sil don't verify, and consume a lot of memory. We should consider whether to improve the specs or remove the examples. They might also serve as interesting cases for trigger-generation and matching-loop debugging.

I just investigated quantifiedpermissions/sequences/bsearch.sil and found four genuine errors (two programming errors, two specification errors) that explain why the originally reported code doesn't verify. I kept the original code, but added triggers. Moreover, I added three fixed variants of the original example.

Both Carbon and Silicon now behave as expected for the updated test file. If you think that the original code without triggers would be worth keeping, e.g. for testing the axiom profiler, then you'll have to get the old code from Mercurial's history (and save it separately). I hope that's OK with you.

The other example (composite.sil) still needs investigation. Maybe Nils Becker could have a look at it.
