This patch changes the behavior of `-fprint-explicit-kinds`
so that it displays kind argument using visible kind application.
In other words, the flag now:
1. Prints instantiations of specified variables with `@(...)`.
2. Prints instantiations of inferred variables with `@{...}`.
In addition, this patch removes the `Use -fprint-explicit-kinds to
see the kind arguments` error message that often arises when a type
mismatch occurs due to different kinds. Instead, whenever there is a
kind mismatch, we now enable the `-fprint-explicit-kinds` flag
locally to help cue to the programmer where the error lies.
(See `Note [Kind arguments in error messages]` in `TcErrors`.)
As a result, these funny `@{...}` things can now appear to the user
even without turning on the `-fprint-explicit-kinds` flag explicitly,
so I took the liberty of documenting them in the users' guide.

See Note [TYPE] in TysPrim. There are still some outstanding
pieces in #11471 though, so this doesn't actually nail the bug.
This commit also contains a few performance improvements:
* Short-cut equality checking of nullary type syns
* Compare types before kinds in eqType
* INLINE coreViewOneStarKind
* Store tycon binders separately from kinds.
This resulted in a ~10% performance improvement in compiling
the Cabal package. No change in functionality other than
performance. (This affects the interface file format, though.)
This commit updates the haddock submodule.

This re-working of the typechecker algorithm is based on
the paper "Visible type application", by Richard Eisenberg,
Stephanie Weirich, and Hamidhasan Ahmed, to be published at
ESOP'16.
This patch introduces -XTypeApplications, which allows users
to say, for example `id @Int`, which has type `Int -> Int`. See
the changes to the user manual for details.
This patch addresses tickets #10619, #5296, #10589.
