GHC Trac Issues: #10382

See Trac #7854.  Specifically:

* Major clean up and simplification of check_op in checkValidClass;
  specifically
     - use checkValidType on the entire method-selector type to detect
       ambiguity
     - put a specific test for -XConstrainedClassMethods

* Make -XConstrainedClassMethods be implied by -XMultiParamTypeClasses
  (a bit ad-hoc but see #7854), and document in the user manual.

* Do the checkAmbiguity test just once in TcValidity.checkValidType,
  rather than repeatedly at every level. See Note [When to call checkAmbiguity]

* Add -XAllowAmbiguousTypes in GHC.IP, since 'ip' really is ambiguous.
  (It's a rather magic function.)

* Improve location info for check_op in checkValidClass

* Update quite a few tests, which had genuinely-ambiguous class
  method signatures.  Some I fixed by making them unambiguous; some
  by adding -XAllowAmbiguousTypes
