Countable and uncountable types

In this file we define a typeclass Countable saying that a given Sort* is countable and a typeclass Uncountable saying that a given Type* is uncountable.

See also Encodable for a version that singles out a specific encoding of elements of α by natural numbers.

This file also provides a few instances of these typeclasses. More instances can be found in other files.
