Fix DeriveAnyClass (again)

This patch fixes Trac #13272.  The general approach was fine, but
we were simply not generating the correct implication constraint
(in particular generating fresh unification variables).  I added
a lot more commentary to Note [Gathering and simplifying
constraints for DeriveAnyClass]

I'm still not very happy with the overall architecture.  It feels
more complicate than it should.
