Use splitLHs{ForAll,Sigma}TyInvis throughout the codebase

Richard points out in #17688 that we use `splitLHsForAllTy` and
`splitLHsSigmaTy` in places that we ought to be using the
corresponding `-Invis` variants instead, identifying two bugs
that are caused by this oversight:

* Certain TH-quoted type signatures, such as those that appear in
  quoted `SPECIALISE` pragmas, silently turn visible `forall`s into
  invisible `forall`s.
* When quoted, the type `forall a -> (a ~ a) => a` will turn into
  `forall a -> a` due to a bug in `DsMeta.repForall` that drops
  contexts that follow visible `forall`s.

These are both ultimately caused by the fact that `splitLHsForAllTy`
and `splitLHsSigmaTy` split apart visible `forall`s in addition to
invisible ones. This patch cleans things up:

* We now use `splitLHsForAllTyInvis` and `splitLHsSigmaTyInvis`
  throughout the codebase. Relatedly, the `splitLHsForAllTy` and
  `splitLHsSigmaTy` have been removed, as they are easy to misuse.
* `DsMeta.repForall` now only handles invisible `forall`s to reduce
  the chance for confusion with visible `forall`s, which need to be
  handled differently. I also renamed it from `repForall` to
  `repForallT` to emphasize that its distinguishing characteristic
  is the fact that it desugars down to `L.H.TH.Syntax.ForallT`.

Fixes #17688.
