Display capture hints in router layout

This commit introduces a `CaptureHint` type, which is passed as an extra
argument to the `CaptureRouter` and `CaptureAllRouter` constructors for
the `Router'` type.
`CaptureHint` values are then used in `routerLayout`, to display the
name and "type" of captured values (single or list), instead of just
"<capture>" previously.

N.B.:
Because the `choice` smart constructor for routers can aggregate
`Capture` combinators with different capture hints, the `Capture*Router`
constructors actually take a *list* of `CaptureHint`, instead of a
single one.
