Expand declaration QQs first (#10047)
Declaration QuasiQuoters do not cause a group split like $(...) splices, and are run and expanded before other declarations in the group. Resolves the lingering issue with #10047, and fixes broken tests qq007 and qq008. Test Plan: validate Reviewers: goldfire, austin, bgamari Reviewed By: bgamari Subscribers: goldfire, simonpj, thomie, spinda Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1199 GHC Trac Issues: #10047
