Consider ```hs data Ex where Ex :: e -> Int -> Ex f :: Ex -> Int f (Ex e n) = e `seq` n + 1 ``` Worker/wrapper should build the following worker for `f`: ```hs $wf :: forall e. e -> Int# -> Int# $wf e n = e `seq` n +# 1# ``` But previously it didn't, because `Ex` binds an existential. This patch lifts that condition. That entailed having to instantiate existential binders in `GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap.Utils.mkWWstr` via `GHC.Core.Utils.dataConRepFSInstPat`, requiring a bit of a refactoring around what is now `DataConPatContext`. CPR W/W still won't unbox DataCons with existentials. See `Note [Which types are unboxed?]` for details. I also refactored the various `tyCon*DataCon(s)_maybe` functions in `GHC.Core.TyCon`, deleting some of them which are no longer needed (`isDataProductType_maybe` and `isDataSumType_maybe`). I cleaned up a couple of call sites, some of which weren't very explicit about whether they cared for existentials or not. The test output of `T18013` changed, because we now unbox the `Rule` data type. Its constructor carries existential state and will be w/w'd now. In the particular example, the worker functions inlines right back into the wrapper, which then unnecessarily has a (quite big) stable unfolding. I think this kind of fallout is inevitable; see also Note [Don't w/w inline small non-loop-breaker things]. There's a new regression test case `T18982`. Fixes #18982.
