The typechecker has the invariant that every type should be well-kinded as it stands, without zonking. See Note [The well-kinded type invariant] in TcType. That invariant was not being upheld, which led to Trac #14174. I fixed part of it, but T14174a showed that there was more. This patch finishes the job. * See Note [The tcType invariant] in TcHsType, which articulates an invariant that was very nearly, but not quite, true. One place that falisified it was the HsWildCardTy case of tc_hs_type, so I fixed that. * mkNakedCastTy now makes no attempt to eliminate casts; indeed it cannot lest it break Note [The well-kinded type invariant]. The prior comment suggested that it was crucial for performance but happily it seems not to be. The extra Refls are eliminated by the zonker. * I found I could tidy up TcHsType.instantiateTyN and instantiateTyUntilN by eliminating one of its parameters. That led to a cascade of minor improvements in TcTyClsDecls. Hooray.
