In !10911, I deleted a `tcExpr` case for `HsUntypedSplice` in favor of a much
simpler case that simply delegates to `tcApp`. Although this passed the test
suite at the time, this was actually an error, as the previous `tcExpr` case
was critically pushing the expected type inwards. This actually matters for
programs like the one in #23796, which GHC would not accept with type inference
alone—we need full-blown type _checking_ to accept these.

I have added back the previous `tcExpr` case for `HsUntypedSplice` and now
explain why we have two different `HsUntypedSplice` cases (one in `tcExpr` and
another in `splitHsApps`) in `Note [Looking through Template Haskell splices in
splitHsApps]` in `GHC.Tc.Gen.Head`.

Fixes #23796.
