As observed in #14059 (starting at comment 5), the error messages surrounding a program involving GADTs and a `COMPLETE` set became worse between 8.2 and 8.4. The culprit was a new validity check in 8.4 which filters out `COMPLETE` set candidates if a return type of any conlike in the set doesn't match the type of the scrutinee. However, this check was too conservative, since it removed perfectly valid `COMPLETE` sets that contained GADT constructors, which quite often have return types that don't match the type of a scrutinee. To fix this, I adopted the most straightforward possible solution of only performing this validity check on //pattern synonym// constructors, not //data// constructors. Note that this does not fix #14059 entirely, but instead simply fixes a particular buglet that was discovered in that ticket.
