 Support wild cards in data/type family instances

 Handle anonymous wild cards in type or data family instance
 declarations like
 unnamed type variables. For instance (pun intented):

     type family F (a :: *) (b :: *) :: *
     type instance F Int _ = Int

 Is now the same as:

     type family F (a :: *) (b :: *) :: *
     type instance F Int x = Int

 Note that unlike wild cards in partial type signatures, no errors (or
 warnings
 with -XPartialTypeSignatures) are generated for these wild cards, as
 there is
 nothing interesting to report to the user, i.e. the inferred kind.

 Only anonymous wild cards are supported here, named and
 extra-constraints wild
 card are not.

 Test Plan: pass new tests
