    Fix egregious instantiation bug in matchOneConLike (fixing Trac #9023) · 0a55a3ca

    We simply weren't giving anything like the right instantiating types
    to patSynInstArgTys in matchOneConLike.
    
    To get these instantiating types would have involved matching the
    result type of the pattern synonym with the pattern type, which is
    tiresome.  So instead I changed ConPatOut so that instead of recording
    the type of the *whole* pattern (in old field pat_ty), it not records
    the *instantiating* types (in new field pat_arg_tys).  Then we canuse
    TcHsSyn.conLikeResTy to get the pattern type when needed.
    
    There are lots of knock-on incidental effects, but they mostly made
    the code simpler, so I'm happy.
