 Remove redundant contexts from Foldable methods

 New `Foldable` methods accidentally had `Foldable` contexts, which led
 to type roles being assigned incorrectly and preventing GND from
 deriving `Foldable` instances. Removing those fixes #9761.

 Moreover, this patch takes advantage of this fix by deriving
 `Foldable` (and `Eq`) for `UniqFM`.
