Fall back to types when looking up data constructors (#18740)

Before this patch, referring to a data constructor in a term-level
context led to a scoping error:

    ghci> id Int
    <interactive>:1:4: error: Data constructor not in scope: Int

After this patch, the renamer falls back to the type namespace
and successfully finds the Int. It is then rejected in the type
checker with a more useful error message:

    <interactive>:1:4: error:
    Type constructor 'Int' used where a value identifier was expected

We also do this for type variables.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When the user mentions a type constructor or a type variable in a
+term-level context, then we report that a value identifier was expected
+instead of a type-level one. That makes error messages more precise.
+Previously, such errors contained only the info that a given value was out of scope (#18740).
+We promote the namespace of RdrName and look up after that
+(see the functions promotedRdrName and lookup_promoted).
+
+In particular, we have the following error message
+  • Illegal term-level use of the type constructor ‘Int’
+      imported from ‘Prelude’ (and originally defined in ‘GHC.Types’)
+  • In the first argument of ‘id’, namely ‘Int’
+    In the expression: id Int
+    In an equation for ‘x’: x = id Int
+
+when the user writes the following declaration
+
+  x = id Int
