Test for type synonym loops on TyCon.
Summary:
Previously, we tested for type synonym loops by doing
a syntactic test on the literal type synonym declarations.
However, in some cases, loops could go through hs-boot
files, leading to an infinite loop (#12042); a similar
situation can occur when signature merging.
This commit replaces the syntactic test with a test on
TyCon, simply by walking down all type synonyms until
we bottom out, or find we've looped back. It's a lot
simpler.
