Embrace -XTypeInType, add -XStarIsType

Summary:
Implement the "Embrace Type :: Type" GHC proposal,
.../ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0020-no-type-in-type.rst

GHC 8.0 included a major change to GHC's type system: the Type :: Type
axiom. Though casual users were protected from this by hiding its
features behind the -XTypeInType extension, all programs written in GHC
8+ have the axiom behind the scenes. In order to preserve backward
compatibility, various legacy features were left unchanged. For example,
with -XDataKinds but not -XTypeInType, GADTs could not be used in types.
Now these restrictions are lifted and -XTypeInType becomes a redundant
flag that will be eventually deprecated.

* Incorporate the features currently in -XTypeInType into the
  -XPolyKinds and -XDataKinds extensions.
* Introduce a new extension -XStarIsType to control how to parse * in
  code and whether to print it in error messages.
