Summary:
This contains two commits:

----

Make GHC's code-base compatible w/ `MonadFail`

There were a couple of use-sites which implicitly used pattern-matches
in `do`-notation even though the underlying `Monad` didn't explicitly
support `fail`

This refactoring turns those use-sites into explicit case
discrimations and adds an `MonadFail` instance for `UniqSM`
(`UniqSM` was the worst offender so this has been postponed for a
follow-up refactoring)

---

Turn on MonadFail desugaring by default

This finally implements the phase scheduled for GHC 8.6 according to

https://prime.haskell.org/wiki/Libraries/Proposals/MonadFail#Transitionalstrategy

This also preserves some tests that assumed MonadFail desugaring to be
active; all ghc boot libs were already made compatible with this
`MonadFail` long ago, so no changes were needed there.

Test Plan: Locally performed ./validate --fast
