Summary: Previously, abstract classes looked very much like normal classes, except that they happened to have no methods, superclasses or ATs, and they came from boot files. This patch gives abstract classes a proper representation in Class and IfaceDecl, by moving the things which are never defined for abstract classes into ClassBody/IfaceClassBody. Because Class is abstract, this change had ~no disruption to any of the code in GHC; if you ask about the methods of an abstract class, we'll just give you an empty list. This also fixes a bug where abstract type classes were incorrectly treated as representationally injective (they're not!) Fixes #13347, and a TODO in the code. Signed-off-by: Edward Z.
