Remove duplicate Note [When to print foralls] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Pprwip/duplicate-forall-printing-notes
There are two different Notes named `[When to print foralls]`. The
most up-to-date one is in `GHC.Iface.Type`, but there is a second
one in `GHC.Core.TyCo.Ppr`. The latter is less up-to-date, as it was
written before GHC switched over to using ifaces to pretty-print
types. I decided to just remove the latter and replace it with a
reference to the former.
