Enable -Wstar-is-type by default (#22759)
Following the plan in GHC Proposal #143 "Remove the * kind syntax",
which states:
In the next release (or 3 years in), enable -fwarn-star-is-type by default.
The "next release" happens to be 9.6.1
I also moved the T21583 test case from should_fail to should_compile,
because the only reason it was failing was -Werror=compat in our test
suite configuration.
