Refactor hole constraints.
Previously, holes (both expression holes / out of scope variables and
partial-type-signature wildcards) were emitted as *constraints* via
the CHoleCan constructor. While this worked fine for error reporting,
there was a fair amount of faff in keeping these constraints in line.
In particular, and unlike other constraints, we could never change
a CHoleCan to become CNonCanonical. In addition:
* the "predicate" of a CHoleCan constraint was really the type
of the hole, which is not a predicate at all
* type-level holes (partial type signature wildcards) carried
evidence, which was never used
* tcNormalise (used in the pattern-match checker) had to create
a hole constraint just to extract it again; it was quite messy
The new approach is to record holes directly in WantedConstraints.
It flows much more nicely now.
Along the way, I did some cleaning up of commentary in
GHC.Tc.Errors.Hole, which I had a hard time understanding.
This was instigated by a future patch that will refactor
the way predicates are handled. The fact that CHoleCan's
"predicate" wasn't really a predicate is incompatible with
that future patch.
No test case, because this is meant to be purely internal.
It turns out that this change improves the performance of
the pattern-match checker, likely because fewer constraints
are sloshing about in tcNormalise. I have not investigated
deeply, but an improvement is not a surprise here:
