Specialise broken for implicit parameters

The tcrun019 test case is failing with optimization on. Here is an even simpler test case:

{-# LANGUAGE ImplicitParams, RankNTypes #-}

module Main where

f :: (?x :: Int) => ((?x :: Int) => Int) -> Bool -> Int
f g False = g
f g True = let ?x = ?x + 1
           in f g False

h :: (?x :: Int) => Int
h = ?x

main :: IO ()
main = print (let ?x = 0 in f h True)

What happens is that f gets incorrectly specialized, and, as a result, the recursive call to f uses the old binding for the implicit parameter.

I think the problem was introduced with the refactoring in 5a8ac0f8, which broke the test for implicit parameter constraints in Specialise.lhs.

The attached patch seems to fix it.
