Refactor the typechecker to use ExpTypes.
The idea here is described in [wiki:Typechecker]. Briefly,
this refactor keeps solid track of "synthesis" mode vs
"checking" in GHC's bidirectional type-checking algorithm.
When in synthesis mode, the expected type is just an IORef
to write to.
In addition, this patch does a significant reworking of
RebindableSyntax, allowing much more freedom in the types
of the rebindable operators. For example, we can now have
`negate :: Int -> Bool` and
`(>>=) :: m a -> (forall x. a x -> m b) -> m b`. The magic
is in tcSyntaxOp.
This addresses tickets #11397, #11452, and #11458.
Tests:
