Give civilised error messages when desugaring Template Haskell brackets

DsMeta fails with a panic if it encounters something it can't desugar into TH syntax. This is bad: the error should be civilised. But there's no current provision for desugarer *errors*, only *warnings*.

Add errors, and perhaps promote the error/warning box into the part that is shared between all uses of IOEnv (renamer, typechecker, desugarer)

Nothing hard, a bit tedious.
