Allow visible type application for levity-poly data conswip/T18481
This patch was driven by #18481, to allow visible type application for levity-polymorphic newtypes. As so often, it started simple but grew: * Significant refactor: I removed HsConLikeOut from the client-independent Language.Haskell.Syntax.Expr, and put it where it belongs, as a new constructor `ConLikeTc` in the GHC-specific extension data type for expressions, `GHC.Hs.Expr.XXExprGhcTc`. That changed touched a lot of files in a very superficial way. * Note [Typechecking data constructors] explains the main payload. The eta-expansion part is no longer done by the typechecker, but instead deferred to the desugarer, via `ConLikeTc` * A little side benefit is that I was able to restore VTA for data types with a "stupid theta": #19775. Not very important, but the code in GHC.Tc.Gen.Head.tcInferDataCon is is much, much more elegant now. * I had to refactor the levity-polymorphism checking code in GHC.HsToCore.Expr, see Note [Checking for levity-polymorphic functions] Note [Checking levity-polymorphic data constructors]
