The `GHC.Tc.Plugin.newWanted` function takes a `CtLoc` as an argument, but it used to discard the location information, keeping only the `CtOrigin`. It would then retrieve the source location from the `TcM` environment using `getCtLocM`. This patch changes this so that `GHC.Tc.Plugin.newWanted` passes on the full `CtLoc`. This means that authors of type-checking plugins no longer need to manually set the `CtLoc` environment in the `TcM` monad if they want to create a new Wanted constraint with the given `CtLoc` (in particular, for setting the `SrcSpan` of an emitted constraint). This makes the `newWanted` function consistent with `newGiven`, which always used the full `CtLoc` instead of using the environment. Fixes #20895
