 Check for un-saturated type family applications

 This patch corrects an egregious error introduced by:

   commit 022f8750edf6f413fba31293435dcc62600eab77
   Author: Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj at microsoft.com>
   Date:   Thu May 15 16:07:04 2014 +0100

     Refactoring around TyCon.isSynTyCon

     * Document isSynTyCon better
     * Add isTypeSyonymTyCon for regular H98 type synonyms
     * Use isTypeSynonymTyCon rather than isSynTyCon where
       the former is really intended

 At this particular spot in TcValidity we really do mean
 isSynTyCon and not isTypeSynonymTyCon.

 Fixes Trac #9433
