Major refactoring of the type inference engine

This patch embodies many, many changes to the contraint solver, which
make it simpler, more robust, and more beautiful.  But it has taken
me ages to get right. The forcing issue was some obscure programs
involving recursive dictionaries, but these eventually led to a
massive refactoring sweep.

Main changes are:
 * No more "frozen errors" in the monad.  Instead "insoluble
   constraints" are now part of the WantedConstraints type.

 * The WantedConstraint type is a product of bags, instead of (as
   before) a bag of sums.  This eliminates a good deal of tagging and
   untagging.

 * This same WantedConstraints data type is used
     - As the way that constraints are gathered
     - As a field of an implication constraint
     - As both argument and result of solveWanted
     - As the argument to reportUnsolved

 * We do not generate any evidence for Derived constraints. They are
   purely there to allow "impovement" by unifying unification
   variables.

 * In consequence, nothing is ever *rewritten* by a Derived
   constraint.  This removes, by construction, all the horrible
   potential recursive-dictionary loops that were making us tear our
   hair out.  No more isGoodRecEv search either. Hurrah!

 * We add the superclass Derived constraints during canonicalisation,
   after checking for duplicates.  So fewer superclass constraints
   are generated than before.

 * Skolem tc-tyvars no longer carry SkolemInfo.  Instead, the
   SkolemInfo lives in the GivenLoc of the Implication, where it
   can be tidied, zonked, and substituted nicely.  This alone is
   a major improvement.

 * Tidying is improved, so that we tend to get t1, t2, t3, rather
   than t1, t11, t111, etc

   Moreover, unification variables are always printed with a digit
   (thus a0, a1, etc), so that plain 'a' is available for a skolem
   arising from a type signature etc. In this way,
     (a) We quietly say which variables are unification variables,
         for those who know and care
     (b) Types tend to get printed as the user expects.  If he writes
             f :: a -> a
             f = ...blah...
         then types involving 'a' get printed with 'a', rather than
         some tidied variant.

 * There are significant improvements in error messages, notably
   in the "Cannot deduce X from Y" messages.

Do dependency analysis when kind-checking type declarations

This patch fixes Trac #4875.  The main point is to do dependency
analysis on type and class declarations, and kind-check them in
dependency order, so as to improve error messages.

This patch means that a few programs that would typecheck before won't
typecheck any more; but before we were (naughtily) going beyond
Haskell 98 without any language-extension flags, and Trac #4875
convinces me that doing so is a Bad Idea.

Here's an example that won't typecheck any more
       data T a b = MkT (a b)
       type F k = T k Maybe

If you look at T on its own you'd default 'a' to kind *->*;

we might need to change this. However, usage on other platforms will
probably be similar to OS X, since many of Apple's changes are to

Tidy up rebindable syntax for MDo

in favour of rebindable syntax attached to individual Stmts,

This patch tidies it all up.  Now there's no SyntaxTable on

required only if you actually *use* recursion in mdo. This
seems consistent with the implicit dependency analysis that

Add a simple arity analyser

I've wanted to do this for ages, but never gotten around to
it.  The main notes are in Note [Arity analysis] in SimplUtils.

The motivating example for arity analysis is this:

  f = \x. let g = f (x+1)
          in \y. ...g...

What arity does f have?  Really it should have arity 2, but a naive
look at the RHS won't see that.  You need a fixpoint analysis which
says it has arity "infinity" the first time round.

This makes things more robust to the way in which you write code.  For
example, see Trac #4474 which is fixed by this change.

Not a huge difference, but worth while:

        Program           Size    Allocs   Runtime   Elapsed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Min          -0.4%     -2.2%    -10.0%    -10.0%

I don't really believe the runtime numbers, because the machine was
busy, but the bottom line is that not much changes, and what does
change reliably (allocation and size) is in the right direction.
