Fix two constraint solving problems

This patch fixes two problems in the constraint solver.

* An actual bug #18555: we were floating out a constraint to eagerly,
  and that was ultimately fatal.  It's explained in
  Note [Do not float blocked constraints] in GHC.Core.Constraint.

  This is all very delicate, but it's all going to become irrelevant
  when we stop floating constraints (#17656).

* A major performance infelicity in the flattener.  When flattening
  (ty |> co) we *never* generated Refl, even when there was nothing
  at all to do.  Result: we would gratuitously rewrite the constraint
  to exactly the same thing, wasting work.  Described in #18413, and
  came up again in #18855.

  Solution: exploit the special case by calling the new function
  castCoercionKind1.  See Note [castCoercionKind1] in
  GHC.Core.Coercion

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+castCoercionKind1 deals with the very important special case of castCoercionKind2
+where the two kind coercions are identical.  In that case we can exploit the
+situation where the main coercion is reflexive, via the special cases for Refl
+and GRefl.
+
+This is important when flattening  (ty |> co). We flatten ty, yielding
+   fco :: ty ~ ty'
+and now we want a coercion xco between
+   xco :: (ty |> co) ~ (ty' |> co)
+That's exactly what castCoercionKind1 does.  And it's very very common for
+fco to be Refl.  In that case we do NOT want to get some terrible composition
+of mkLeftCoherenceCo and mkRightCoherenceCo, which is what castCoercionKind2
+has to do in its full generality.  See #18413.

+Now co1, co2 are blocked by bco.  We will eventually float out bco

+float out co2, and that is bad bad bad.  Because we'll promote alpha
+and beta to level 2, and then fail to unify the promoted beta
+with the skolem a[4].

+Solution: don't float out blocked equalities. Remember: we only want
