    Yet another attempt at inferring the right quantification
    
    TcSimplify.decideQuantification is truly a tricky function!
    Trac #13509 showed that we were being over-eager with defaulting
    of runtime-rep variables (levity polymorphism), which meant that
    a program was wrongly rejected, and with a very odd error message
    (c.f. Trac #13530)
    
    I spent an unreasonably long time figuring out how to fix this
    in a decent way, and ended up with a major refactoring of
    decideQuantification, with a kock-on effect in simplifyInfer.
    
    It is at least a bit more comprehensible now; but I still
    can't say I like it.
