This patche fixes Trac #9574. The previous Note [Renaming associated types] in RnTypes appears to me to be wrong; it confused class and instance declarations. I have: * Treated kind and type variables uniformly. Both must be bound on the LHS of an associated type instance. Eg instance C ('KProxy :: KProxy o) where type F 'KProxy = NatTr (Proxy :: o -> *) is illegal because 'o' is not bound on the LHS of the instance. * Moved the Note to RnSource and fixed it up This improves the error message from T7938. However it made the code in T6118 incorrect. We had: instance SingE (a :: Maybe k) where type Demote a = Maybe (Demote (Any :: k)) and that is now rejected, rightly I think.
