Don't skip validity checks for built-in classes (#17355)
Issue #17355 occurred because the control flow for
`TcValidity.check_valid_inst_head` was structured in such a way that
whenever it checked a special, built-in class (like `Generic` or
`HasField`), it would skip the most important check of all:
`checkValidTypePats`, which rejects nonsense like this:
```hs
instance Generic (forall a. a)
```
This fixes the issue by carving out `checkValidTypePats` from
`check_valid_inst_head` so that `checkValidTypePats` is always
invoked. `check_valid_inst_head` has also been renamed to
`check_special_inst_head` to reflect its new purpose of _only_
checking for instances headed by special classes.
Fixes #17355.
