This patch establishes invariant (GivenInv) from GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType Note [TcLevel invariants]. (GivenInv) says that unification variables from level 'n' should not appear in the Givens for level 'n'. See Note [GivenInv] in teh same module. This invariant was already very nearly true, but a dark corner of partial type signatures made it false. The patch re-jigs partial type signatures a bit to avoid the problem, and documents the invariant much more thorughly Fixes #18646 along the way: see Note [Extra-constraints wildcards] in GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind I also simplified the interface to tcSimplifyInfer slightly, so that it /emits/ the residual constraint, rather than /returning/ it.
