Data types and utilities representing failure. Most of it is based on the
"Either" type in its usual configuration (left represents failure).

In most cases, the failure type is implied or required to be a "Monoid".

The choice of "Either" instead of a custom type makes it easier to write
compatible instances of "ArrowChoice".
