Fix typechecking of partial type signatures
Partial type sigs had grown hair. tcHsParialSigType was
doing lots of unnecessary work, and tcInstSig was cloning it
unnecessarily -- and the result didn't even work: #16728.
This patch cleans it all up, described by TcHsType
Note [Checking parital type signatures]
I basically just deleted code... but very carefully!
Some refactoring along the way
* Distinguish more explicintly between "anonymous" wildcards "_"
and "named" wildcards "_a". I changed the names of a number
of functions to make this distinction much more apparent.
The patch also revealed that the code in `TcExpr`
that implements the special typing rule for `($)` was wrong.
It called `getRuntimeRep` in a situation where where was no
particular reason to suppose that the thing had kind `TYPE r`.
This caused a crash in typecheck/should_run/T10846.
The fix was easy, and actually simplifies the code in `TcExpr`
quite a bit. Hooray.
