    Reshuffle levity polymorphism checks. · 8906e7b7
    Richard Eisenberg authored
    Previously, GHC checked for bad levity polymorphism to the left of all
    arrows in data constructors. This was wrong, as reported in #12911
    (where an example is also shown). The solution is to check each
    individual argument for bad levity polymorphism.  Thus the check has
    been moved from TcValidity to TcTyClsDecls.
    
    A similar situation exists with pattern synonyms, also fixed here.
    
    This patch also nabs #12819 while I was in town.
