Make validDerivPred ignore non-visible arguments to a class type constructor
Summary:
GHC choked when trying to derive the following:
```
{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
{-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds #-}
module Example where
class Category (cat :: k -> k -> *) where
catId :: cat a a
catComp :: cat b c -> cat a b -> cat a c
newtype T (c :: * -> * -> *) a b = MkT (c a b) deriving Category
```
Unlike in #8865, where we were deriving `Category` for a concrete type like
`Either`, in the above example we are attempting to derive an instance of the
form:
```
instance Category * c => Category (T * c) where ...
```
(using `-fprint-explicit-kinds` syntax). But `validDerivPred` is checking if
`sizePred (Category * c)` equals the number of free type variables in
`Category * c`. But note that `sizePred` counts both type variables //and//
type constructors, and `*` is a type constructor! So `validDerivPred`
erroneously rejects the above instance.
The fix is to make `validDerivPred` ignore non-visible arguments to the class
type constructor (e.g., ignore `*` is `Category * c`) by using
`filterOutInvisibleTypes`.
Fixes #11833.
