Improve handling of newtypes (fixes Trac 1495)

In a few places we want to "look through" newtypes to get to the
representation type.  But we need to be careful that  we don't fall
into an ininite loop with e.g.
newtype T = MkT T

The old mechansim for doing this was to have a field nt_rep, inside
a newtype TyCon, that gave the "ultimate representation" of the type.
But that failed for Trac 1495, which looked like this:
   newtype Fix a = Fix (a (Fix a))
   data I a = I a
Then, expanding the type (Fix I) went on for ever.

The right thing to do seems to be to check for loops when epxanding
the *type*, rather than in the *tycon*.  This patch does that,
- Removes nt_rep from TyCon
- Make Type.repType check for loops
See Note [Expanding newtypes] in Type.lhs.

At the same time I also fixed a bug for Roman, where newtypes were not
being expanded properly in FamInstEnv.topNormaliseType.  This function
and Type.repType share a common structure.

FIX part of #1959: declaration versions were not being incremented correctly
We were building a mapping from ModuleName to [Occ] from the usage
list, using the usg_mod field as the key.  Unfortunately, due to a
very poor naming decision, usg_mod is actually the module version, not
the ModuleName.  usg_name is the ModuleName.  Since Version is also an
instance of Uniquable, there was no type error: all that happened was
lookups in the map never succeeded.  I shall rename the fields of
Usage in a separate patch.

I finally got around to investigating why the Simplifier was sometimes
iterating so often.  There's a nice example in Text.ParserCombinators.ReadPrec,
which produced:

NOTE: Simplifier still going after 3 iterations; bailing out.  Size = 339
NOTE: Simplifier still going after 3 iterations; bailing out.  Size = 339
NOTE: Simplifier still going after 3 iterations; bailing out.  Size = 339

No progress is being made.  It turned out that an interaction between
eta-expansion, casts, and eta reduction was responsible. The change is
small and simple, in SimplUtils.mkLam: do not require the body to be
a Lam when floating the cast outwards.

I also discovered a missing side condition in the same equation, so fixing
that is good too.  Now there is no loop when compiling ReadPrec.

Should do a full nofib run though.
