Functions in HsUtils don't have the most general type

In 1aa1d405 the types of a lot of functions in HsUtils was changed and now they are too restrictive. For example, nlHsfunTy has the following type.

nlHsFunTy :: LHsType (GhcPass p) -> Rig -> LHsType (GhcPass p) -> LHsType (GhcPass p)

It should instead be given the more general type which will allow it to work as before in many situations.

nlHsFunTy :: (XFunTy p ~ PlaceHolder) => LHsType p -> Rig -> LHsType p -> LHsType p
