This patch makes `guessConLikeUnivTyArgsFromResTy` consider required Thetas of PatSynCons, by treating them as Wanted constraints to be discharged with the constraints from the Nabla's TyState and saying "does not match the match type" if the Wanted constraints are unsoluble. It calls out into a new function `GHC.Tc.Solver.tcCheckWanteds` to do so. In pushing the failure logic around call sites of `initTcDsForSolver` inside it by panicking, I realised that there was a bunch of dead code surrounding `pmTopMoraliseType`: I was successfully able to delete the `NoChange` data constructor of `TopNormaliseTypeResult`. The details are in `Note [Matching against a ConLike result type]` and `Note [Instantiating a ConLike]. The regression test is in `T19475`. It's pretty much a fork of `T14422` at the moment.
