<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Optimise nullary type constructor usage

During the compilation of programs GHC very frequently deals with
the `Type` type, which is a synonym of `TYPE 'LiftedRep`. This patch
teaches GHC to avoid expanding the `Type` synonym (and other nullary
type synonyms) during type comparisons, saving a good amount of work.
This optimisation is described in `Note [Comparing nullary type
synonyms]`.

To maximize the impact of this optimisation, we introduce a few
special-cases to reduce `TYPE 'LiftedRep` to `Type`. See
`Note [Prefer Type over TYPE 'LiftedPtrRep]`.

Closes #17958.
