    Tidy up the interface to lookupInstEnv · 2c8701fb
    Simon Peyton Jones authored
    This patch changes the interface to lookupInstEnv, so that it
    returns a pair (Instance, [Either TyVar Type])
    rather than    (Inst,     TvSubst)
    
    There is no functionality change, but the interface is tidier,
    and closer to lookupFamInstEnv (when Manuel has changed that too).
    The [Either TyVar Type] gives the type(s) at which the dfun should
    be instantiated.  We need an Either because it might be instantiated
    freely: see Note [InstTypes: instantiating types] in InstEnv.
    
    (This might be a pattern we want to use elsewhere too.)
