Grammar for types and data/newtype constructors

Before this patch, we parsed types into a reversed sequence
of operators and operands. For example, (F x y + G a b * X)
would be parsed as [X, *, b, a, G, +, y, x, F],
using a simple grammar:

	tyapps
	  : tyapp
	  | tyapps tyapp

	tyapp
	  : atype
	  | PREFIX_AT atype
	  | tyop
	  | unpackedness

Then we used a hand-written state machine to assemble this
 either into a type,        using 'mergeOps',
     or into a constructor, using 'mergeDataCon'.

This is due to a syntactic ambiguity:

	data T1 a =          MkT1 a
	data T2 a = Ord a => MkT2 a

In T1, what follows after the = sign is a data/newtype constructor
declaration. However, in T2, what follows is a type (of kind
Constraint). We don't know which of the two we are parsing until we
encounter =>, and we cannot check for => without unlimited lookahead.

This poses a few issues when it comes to e.g. infix operators:

	data I1 = Int :+ Bool :+ Char          -- bad
	data I2 = Int :+ Bool :+ Char => MkI2  -- fine

By this issue alone we are forced into parsing into an intermediate
representation and doing a separate validation pass.

However, should that intermediate representation be as low-level as a
flat sequence of operators and operands?

Before GHC Proposal #229, the answer was Yes, due to some particularly
nasty corner cases:

	data T = ! A :+ ! B          -- used to be fine, hard to parse
	data T = ! A :+ ! B => MkT   -- bad

However, now the answer is No, as this corner case is gone:

	data T = ! A :+ ! B          -- bad
	data T = ! A :+ ! B => MkT   -- bad

This means we can write a proper grammar for types, overloading it in
the DisambECP style, see Note [Ambiguous syntactic categories].

With this patch, we introduce a new class, DisambTD. Just like
DisambECP is used to disambiguate between expressions, commands, and patterns,
DisambTD  is used to disambiguate between types and data/newtype constructors.

This way, we get a proper, declarative grammar for constructors and
types:

	infixtype
	  : ftype
	  | ftype tyop infixtype
	  | unpackedness infixtype

	ftype
	  : atype
	  | tyop
	  | ftype tyarg
	  | ftype PREFIX_AT tyarg

	tyarg
	  : atype
	  | unpackedness atype

And having a grammar for types means we are a step closer to using a
single grammar for types and expressions.

Clean up the story around runPV/runECP_P/runECP_PV

This patch started as a small documentation change, an attempt to make
Note [Parser-Validator] and Note [Ambiguous syntactic categories]
more clear and up-to-date.

But it turned out that runECP_P/runECP_PV are weakly motivated,
and it's easier to remove them than to find a good rationale/explanation
for their existence.

As the result, there's a bit of refactoring in addition to
a documentation update.

Fix debug_ppr_ty ForAllTy (#18522)

Before this change, GHC would
pretty-print   forall k. forall a -> ()
          as   forall @k a. ()
which isn't even valid Haskell.

Fix visible forall in ppr_ty (#18522)

Before this patch, this type:
  T :: forall k -> (k ~ k) => forall j -> k -> j -> Type
was printed incorrectly as:
  T :: forall k j -> (k ~ k) => k -> j -> Type

 As the result, in order to determine whether (C t1 t2) declares a data
 constructor, a type, or a context, we would need unlimited lookahead which

-
-The solution that accounts for all of these issues is to initially parse data
-declarations and types as a reversed list of TyEl:
-
-  data TyEl = TyElOpr RdrName
-            | TyElOpd (HsType GhcPs)
-            | ...
-
-For example, both occurrences of (C ! D) in the following example are parsed
-into equal lists of TyEl:
-
-  data T = C ! D => C ! D   results in   [ TyElOpd (HsTyVar "D")
-                                         , TyElOpr "!"

-
-Note that elements are in reverse order. Also, 'C' is parsed as a type
-constructor (HsTyVar) even when it is a data constructor. We fix this in
-`tyConToDataCon`.
-
-By the time the list of TyEl is assembled, we have looked ahead enough to
-decide whether to reduce using `mergeOps` (for types) or `mergeDataCon` (for

-* Clauses [unpk] and [doc] do not call 'go' recursively, so we cannot hit

-* Clause [opd] makes 'acc' non-empty, so if we hit clause [end] after it, 'acc'

-* Clause [opr] checks that (filter isTyElOpd xs) is not null - so we are going
-  to hit clause [opd] at least once before we reach clause [end], making 'acc'
