Add left-to-right impredicative instantiation

People keep complaining, with some justification, that

runST $ foo

doesn't work.  So I've finally caved in.  The difficulty with the above
is that we need to decide how to instantiate ($)'s type arguments based
on the first argument (runST), and then use that info to check the second
argumnent.  There is a left-to-right flow of information.

It's not hard to implement this, and it's clearly useful.  The main
change is in TcExpr.tcArgs, with some knock-on effects elsewhere.

I was finally provoked into this by Trac #981, which turned out, after some
head-scratching, to be another instance of the same problem.

Teach SpecConstr how to handle mutually-recursive functions

Roman found cases where it was important to do SpecConstr for
mutually-recursive definitions.  Here is one:
foo :: Maybe Int -> Int
foo Nothing  = 0
foo (Just 0) = foo Nothing
foo (Just n) = foo (Just (n-1))
By the time SpecConstr gets to it, it looks like this:
lvl = foo Nothing
foo Nothing  = 0
foo (Just 0) = lvl
foo (Just n) = foo (Just (n-1))

Happily, it turns out to be rather straightforward to generalise the
transformation to mutually-recursive functions.  Look, ma, only 4
extra lines of ocde!

Improve the loop-breaking heuristics

The loop-breaking heuristics were making it a high priority to
avoid choosing a variable as a loop breaker if its *type* was a
data type.  The reason is that it's very good to be able to "see"
constructor applications.

But it's only good if the constructor application is *visible*,
so that is what I test for now.  I found a case (when testing
SpecConstr) where I had a Rec like this:
rec { lvl = foo Nothing
      foo = ...
        RULE foo Nothing = ...
        }

Even if lvl has a data type, it's much better to make lvl the loop
breaker, not foo, so that foo's RULE is visible in lvl's RHS.
