Overhaul -fprint-explicit-kinds to use VKA
This patch changes the behavior of `-fprint-explicit-kinds` so that it displays kind argument using visible kind application. In other words, the flag now: 1. Prints instantiations of specified variables with `@(...)`. 2. Prints instantiations of inferred variables with `@{...}`. In addition, this patch removes the `Use -fprint-explicit-kinds to see the kind arguments` error message that often arises when a type mismatch occurs due to different kinds. Instead, whenever there is a kind mismatch, we now enable the `-fprint-explicit-kinds` flag locally to help cue to the programmer where the error lies. (See `Note [Kind arguments in error messages]` in `TcErrors`.) As a result, these funny `@{...}` things can now appear to the user even without turning on the `-fprint-explicit-kinds` flag explicitly, so I took the liberty of documenting them in the users' guide.
