 Make the unifier a fixpoint even for the free kind vars of a tyvar

 The (pure) unifier tcUnifyTys returns an idempotent substitution.
 But previously the kinds of type variables free in the range of
 the subst could have un-substituted kind variables.

 This patch fixes that, fixing Trac #9106.

 See Note [Finding the substitution fixpoint] in Unify
