    Remove the instantiation check when deriving Generic(1)
    
    Previously, deriving `Generic(1)` bailed out when attempting to
    instantiate visible type parameters (#5939), but this instantiation
    check was quite fragile and doesn't interact well with `-XTypeInType`.
    It has been decided that `Generic(1)` shouldn't be subjected to this
    check anyway, so it has been removed, and `gen_Generic_binds`'s
    machinery has been updated to substitute the type variables in a
    generated `Rep`/`Rep1` instance with the user-supplied type arguments.
    
    In addition, this also refactors `Condition` in `TcDeriv` a bit. Namely,
    since we no longer need `tc_args` to check any conditions, the `[Type]`
    component of `Condition` has been removed.
    
    Fixes #11732.
