Rewrite `Coercible` solver
Summary: This is a rewrite of the algorithm to solve for Coercible "instances". A preliminary form of these ideas is at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Design/NewCoercibleSolver The basic idea here is that the `EqPred` constructor of `PredTree` now is parameterised by a new type `EqRel` (where `data EqRel = NomEq | ReprEq`). Thus, every equality constraint can now talk about nominal equality (the usual case) or representational equality (the `Coercible` case). This is a change from the previous behavior where `Coercible` was just considered a regular class with a special case in `matchClassInst`. Because of this change, representational equalities are now canonicalized just like nominal ones, allowing more equalities to be solved -- in particular, the case at the top of #9117. A knock-on effect is that the flattener must be aware of the choice of equality relation, because the inert set now stores both representational inert equalities alongside the nominal inert equalities. Of course, we can use representational equalities to rewrite only within another representational equality -- thus the parameterization of the flattener. A nice side effect of this change is that I've introduced a new type `CtFlavour`, which tracks G vs. W vs. D, removing some ugliness in the flattener. This commit includes some refactoring as discussed on D546. It also removes the ability of Deriveds to rewrite Deriveds. This fixes bugs #9117 and #8984.
