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.

Summary:
Add prettyprinter tests, which take a file, parse it, pretty print it,
re-parse the pretty printed version and then compare the original and
new ASTs (ignoring locations)
Updates haddock submodule to match the AST changes.
There are three issues outstanding
1. Extra parens around a context are not reproduced. This will require an
AST change and will be done in a separate patch.
2. Currently if an `HsTickPragma` is found, this is not pretty-printed,
to prevent noise in the output.
I am not sure what the desired behaviour in this case is, so have left
it as before. Test Ppr047 is marked as expected fail for this.
3. Apart from in a context, the ParsedSource AST keeps all the parens from
the original source. Something is happening in the renamer to remove the
parens around visible type application, causing T12530 to fail, as the
dumped splice decl is after the renamer.
This needs to be fixed by keeping the parens, but I do not know where they
are being removed. I have amended the test to pass, by removing the parens
in the expected output.
