    Fix rank-validity testing · 156fb568

    GHC does not now do "hoisting" as it used to.  Instead, it allows
    foralls to the right of fuction arrows, as well as to the left.
    
    But the type-validity tester hadn't caught up.  This commit fixes 
    it. The test is tc203.
    
    Incidentally, GHC still doesn't let you write
    	forall a. Eq a => forall b. b -> b
    because we get a zillion reduce/reduce errors if we allow that.  I'm
    sure it's fixable.  But meanwhile you have to use an auxiliary type
    synonym, which is a bit stupid.
