Empty case expressions have strict semantics so the problem boils down
to inhabitation checking for the type of the scrutinee. 3 main functions
added:

- pmTopNormaliseType_maybe for the normalisation of the scrutinee type

- inhabitationCandidates for generating the possible patterns of the
  appropriate type

- checkEmptyCase' to filter out the candidates that give rise to
  unsatisfiable constraints.

See Note [Checking EmptyCase Expressions] in Check
and Note [Type normalisation for EmptyCase] in FamInstEnv
