New description:

 The `Type` pretty-printer has a fair amount of code in common with the
 pretty-printer for `IfaceType`. Moreover, both cases handle a number of
 special cases. With the introduction of `-fprint-explicit-runtime-reps`
 (#11549, Phab:D1961), there is now an inconsistency between these two.

 Let's resolve this inconsistency by eliminating the `Type` pretty-printer
 in favor of using the `IfaceType` printer.
