Restructure typechecking modules

    • Open Issue created by Richard Eisenberg @rae

    Some of the kind-checking and type-checking modules have become unruly.

    Simon and I propose the new structure:

    • KcTyClsDecls will handle kind-checking and generalization of datatype declarations. (That is, kcTyClGroup and children, including related functions in TcHsType)

    • TcInstBinds will handle tcInstDecls2 and children

    • TcTyConValidity will handle checkValidTyCon and children

    • Fold the rest of TcInstDecls (essentially, tcInstDecls1) into what's left of TcTyClsDecls. TcInstDecls is removed.
