This patch fixes the redundant superclass expansion in Trac #14774. The main change is to fix TcInterac.solveOneFromTheOther, so that it does not prefer a work-item with a binding if that binding transitively depends on the inert item we are comparing it with. Explained in Note [Replacement vs keeping] in TcInert, esp item (c) of the "Constraints coming from the same level" part. To make this work I refactored out a new function TcEvidence.findNeededEvVars, which was previously buried inside TcSimplify.neededEvVars. I added quite a few more comments and signposts about superclass expansion.
