Improve granularity of UndecidableInstances

Currently, as a LANGUAGE pragma, UndecidableInstances can only be set once per file: Assuming that there are enough occasions where one would only need to enable it for one or two instances in a bigger source and considering that the warnings emitted if UndecidableInstances is not set are actually useful, it makes sense to support enabling the extension only on a per-instance basis.

proposed syntax:

{-# LANGUAGE UndecidableInstances #-} 
[code]
{-# NOLANGUAGE UndecidableInstances #-}
