    Fix shadowing in mkWwBodies
    
    This bug, exposed by Trac #12562 was very obscure, and has been
    lurking for a long time.  What happened was that, in the
    worker/wrapper split
    
      a tyvar binder for a worker function
      accidentally shadowed an in-scope term variable
      that was mentioned in the body of the function
    
    It's jolly hard to provoke, so I have not even attempted to make
    a test case.  There's a Note [Freshen WW arguments] to explain.
    
    Interestingly, fixing the bug (which meant fresher type variables)
    revealed a second lurking bug: I'd failed to apply the substitution to
    the coercion in the second last case of mkWWArgs, which introduces a
    Cast.

+{- Note [Freshen WW arguments]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Wen we do a worker/wrapper split, we must not in-scope names as the arguments
+of the worker, else we'll get name capture.  E.g.
+
+   -- y1 is in scope from further out
+   f x = ..y1..
+
+If we accidentally choose y1 as a worker argument disaster results:
+
+   fww y1 y2 = let x = (y1,y2) in ...y1...
+
+To avoid this:
+
+  * We use a fresh unique for both type-variable and term-variable binders
+    Originally we lacked this freshness for type variables, and that led
+    to the very obscure Trac #12562.  (A type varaible in the worker shadowed
+    an outer term-variable binding.)
+
+  * Because of this cloning we have to substitute in the type/kind of the
+    new binders.  That's why we carry the TCvSubst through mkWWargs.
+
+    So we need a decent in-scope set, just in case that type/kind
+    itself has foralls.  We get this from the free vars of the RHS of the
+    function since those are the only variables that might be captured.
+    It's a lazy thunk, which will only be poked if the type/kind has a forall.
+
+    Another tricky case was when f :: forall a. a -> forall a. a->a
+    (i.e. with shadowing), and then the worker used the same 'a' twice.
