The proximate cause for this patch is Trac #13482, which pointed out
further subtle interactions between
   - Inferring the most general type of a function
   - A partial type signature for that function

That led me into /further/ changes to the shiny new stuff in
TcSimplify.simplifyInfer, decideQuantification, decideMonoTyVars,
and related functions.

Happily, I was able to make some of it quite a bit simpler,
notably the bit about promoting free tyvars.  I'm happy with
the result.

Moreover I fixed Trac #13524 at the same time.  Happy days.
