The function breakTyVarCycle_maybe has been installed
in a dark corner of GHC to catch some gremlins (a.k.a.
occurs-check failures) who lurk
there. But it previously only caught gremlins of the
form (a ~ ... F a ...), where some of our intrepid users
have spawned gremlins of the form (G a ~ ... F (G a) ...).
This commit improves breakTyVarCycle_maybe (and renames
it to breakTyEqCycle_maybe) to catch the new gremlins.

Happily, the change is remarkably small.

The gory details are in Note [Type equality cycles].

Test cases: typecheck/should_compile/{T21515,T21473}.
