Set truncation in T_hott

For ΓA type, set truncation has the following formation and point rules.

ΓA type
ΓA0 type
0–form
Γa:A
Γ|a|0:A0
0–point
Γu:A0Γv:A0Γp:IdA0(u,v)Γq:IdA0(u,v)
Γsq0(p,q):IdIdA0(u,v)(p,q)
0–path_2

The dependent eliminator takes a family P over A0, point data d(a):P(|a|0), and one dependent 2-path over every instance of sq0. It returns d^:x:A0P(x) with d^(|a|0)d(a). Path-constructor computation is propositional, in accordance with convention 68.4. For a set-valued family the dependent 2-path datum is unique, yielding lemma 68.36.
