Synchronize ClsInst.doTyConApp with TcTypeable validity checks (#15862)

Issue #15862 demonstrated examples of type constructors on which
`TcTypeable.tyConIsTypeable` would return `False`, but the `Typeable`
constraint solver in `ClsInst` (in particular, `doTyConApp`) would
try to generate `Typeable` evidence for anyway, resulting in
disaster. This incongruity was caused by the fact that `doTyConApp`
was using a weaker validity check than `tyConIsTypeable` to determine
if a type constructor warrants `Typeable` evidence or not. The
solution, perhaps unsurprisingly, is to use `tyConIsTypeable` in
`doTyConApp` instead.

To avoid import cycles between `ClsInst` and `TcTypeable`, I factored
out `tyConIsTypeable` into its own module, `TcTypeableValidity`.

Fixes #15862.
