Draft: Disallow (->) as a data constructor in "data" declaration (fixes #16999)

KevinBuhr requested to merge wip/B16999 into master

Add a specific check in tyConToDataCon to disallow (->) as a data constructor. I don't think anything more general is warranted -- it's only because of this special parsing of data constructors in data/newtype declarations that (->) can "sneak in" as a potential data constructor. Otherwise, parsing rules keep them separate. So, tyConToDataCon should be the only place where we need to deal with this issue.
