Subject: stdilb: Check for bad type constraints in function types

The parser recognizes the 'is_subtype(V, T)' syntax for constraints,
and of course the new 'V :: T' syntax, but other variants result in an
error message. Up to now, the parser and linter have let badly formed
constraints through, and relied upon Dialyzer to emit warnings.

is_subtype/2 cannot easily be taken out from the parser. Not only
would we need find a way to emit a (linter) warning, but there also
needs to be an option for suppressing the linter warning as
compilation with +warnings_as_errors has to work. (Notice that the
abstract format representation for 'V :: T' is the same as for
'is_subtype(V, T)'.)

This correction was triggered by an email from Robert, and Kostis
created pull request 1214 to provide a fix. However, Kostis' fix
disallowed is_subtype() altogether, which breaks backward
compatibility.

As of Erlang/OTP 19.0 (ticket OTP-11879), the 'is_subtype(V, T)' is no
longer documented.
