Don't generate datacon wrappers for `type data` declarations

Data constructor wrappers only make sense for _value_-level data constructors,
but data constructors for `type data` declarations only exist at the _type_
level. This patch does the following:

* The criteria in `GHC.Types.Id.Make.mkDataConRep` for whether a data
  constructor receives a wrapper now consider whether or not its parent data
  type was declared with `type data`, omitting a wrapper if this is the case.

* Now that `type data` data constructors no longer receive wrappers, there is a
  spot of code in `refineDefaultAlt` that panics when it encounters a value
  headed by a `type data` type constructor. I've fixed this with a special case
  in `refineDefaultAlt` and expanded `Note [Refine DEFAULT case alternatives]`
  to explain why we do this.

Fixes #22948.

+  whose type is a `type data` declaration. Test case

+  level!
