-Wincomplete-uni-patterns should not warn about explicitly-marked irrefutable patterns

It is very useful to catch accidentally partial uni-pattern matches:

Cons x = someVal

However, we explicitly want an irrefutable pattern match:

Vector2 0 y = Vector2 0 a op Vector2 0 b

In this case, it would be really useful to opt out of the warning via:

~(Vector2 0 y) = ...

The fact the match is partial is explicit and visible with the ~ syntax, so the warning shouldn't tell us about it.

Right now this warning rules out this useful way of opting in to partiality.
