Improve liberate-case to take account of coercions

Note [Scrutinee with cast]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this:
    f = \ t -> case (v `cast` co) of
	         V a b -> a : f t

Exactly the same optimistaion (unrolling one call to f) will work here, 
despite the cast.  See mk_alt_env in the Case branch of libCase.

This patch does the job.  For a change, it was really easy.
