Don't infer CallStacks

We originally wanted CallStacks to be opt-in, but dealing with let
binders complicated things, forcing us to infer CallStacks. It turns
out that the inference is actually unnecessary though, we can let the
wanted CallStacks bubble up to the outer context by refusing to
quantify over them. Eventually they'll be solved from a given CallStack
or defaulted to the empty CallStack if they reach the top.

So this patch prevents GHC from quantifying over CallStacks, getting us
back to the original plan. There's a small ugliness to do with
PartialTypeSignatures, if the partial theta contains a CallStack
constraint, we *do* want to quantify over the CallStack; the user asked
us to!

Note that this means that

  foo :: _ => CallStack
  foo = getCallStack callStack

will be an *empty* CallStack, since we won't infer a CallStack for the
hole in the theta. I think this is the right move though, since we want
CallStacks to be opt-in. One can always write

  foo :: (HasCallStack, _) => CallStack
  foo = getCallStack callStack

to get the CallStack and still have GHC infer the rest of the theta.
