Use FlexibleInstances for `Outputable (* p)` instead of match-all instances with equality constraints
In #17304, Richard and Simon dicovered that using `-XFlexibleInstances` for `Outputable` instances of AST data types means users can provide orphan `Outputable` instances for passes other than `GhcPass`. Type inference doesn't currently to suffer, and Richard gave an example in #17304 that shows how rare a case would be where the slightly worse type inference would matter. So I went ahead with the refactoring, attempting to fix #17304.
