Warn on all out-of-range literals in pats/exprs
Summary: These changes were motivated by #13256. While poking around, I realized we weren't very consistent in our "-Woverflowed-literals" warnings. This patch fixes that by: * warning earlier on in the pipeline (ie. before we've desugared 'Int' patterns into 'I# Int#') * handling 'HsLit' as well as 'HsOverLit' (this covers unboxed literals) * covering more pattern / expression forms 4/6 of the warnings in the 'Overflow' test are due to this patch. The other two are mostly for completeness. Also fixed a missing empty-enumeration warning for 'Natural'. This warnings were tripped up by the 'Bounded Word' instance (see #9505), but the fix was obvious and simple: use unboxed word literals. Test Plan: make TEST=Overflow && make TEST=T10930 Reviewers: hvr, bgamari, RyanGlScott Reviewed By: RyanGlScott Subscribers: RyanGlScott, rwbarton, carter GHC Trac Issues: #13256, #10930 Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D5181

For instance, it is now permissible to write ``Proxy '(a :: A, b :: B)``
(previous GHC versions required extra parens: ``Proxy '((a :: A), (b :: B))``).
+- :ghc-flag:`-Woverflowed-literals` checks all literals. Previously, it would

+- :ghc-flag:`-Wempty-enumerations` now also works for ``Numeric.Natural``.
