Suggest PatternSynonyms

If I try to compile a pattern type signature like

pattern P :: G Int

without having enabled PatternSynonyms then I get the error

Pat.hs:8:1:
    Invalid type signature: pattern P :: G Int
    Should be of form <variable> :: <type>

We could easily work out to suggest that the user enable PatternSynonyms here.
