Change the way the extra bindings for the generic representation are generated

This ticket serves to record an email conversation in which it was agreed that:

  • The extra bindings generated for the generic representation should come from genInst, and not from makeDerivSpecs.

  • GHC.Types should not import GHC.Generics; instead, the generic representation for GHC.Types types should be in GHC.Generics (using standalone deriving where necessary).
