TTG: Rework and improve splices

This commit redefines the structure of Splices in the AST.

We get rid of `HsSplice` which used to represent typed and untyped
splices, quasi quotes, and the result of splicing either an expression,
a type or a pattern.

Instead we have `HsUntypedSplice` which models an untyped splice or a
quasi quoter, which works in practice just like untyped splices.

The `HsExpr` constructor `HsSpliceE` which used to be constructed with
an `HsSplice` is split into `HsTypedSplice` and `HsUntypedSplice`. The
former is directly constructed with an `HsExpr` and the latter now takes
an `HsUntypedSplice`.

Both `HsType` and `Pat` constructors `HsSpliceTy` and `SplicePat` now
take an `HsUntypedSplice` instead of a `HsSplice` (remember only
/untyped splices/ can be spliced as types or patterns).

The result of splicing an expression, type, or pattern is now
comfortably stored in the extension fields `XSpliceTy`, `XSplicePat`,
`XUntypedSplice` as, respectively, `HsUntypedSpliceResult (HsType
GhcRn)`, `HsUntypedSpliceResult (Pat GhcRn)`, and `HsUntypedSpliceResult
(HsExpr GhcRn)`

Overall the TTG extension points are now better used to
make invalid states unrepresentable and model the progression between
stages better.

See Note [Lifecycle of an untyped splice, and PendingRnSplice]
and Note [Lifecycle of an typed splice, and PendingTcSplice] for more
details.
