This is a one line fix (and a note) that fixes four tickets, #15007,
 #15321 and #15202, #15314

The issue was that errors caused by illegal candidates (according to GHC
stage or being internal names) were leaking to the user, causing
bewildering error messages. If a candidate causes the type checker to
error, it is not a valid hole fit, and should be discarded.

As mentioned in #15321, this can cause a pattern of omissions, which
might be hard to discover. A better approach would be to gather the
error messages, and ask users to report them as GHC bugs. This will be
implemented in a subsequent change.
