 Infer types with flexible contexts

 Responding to Trac #10608 and Trac #10351, I've reverted
 to making type inference infer structured constraint like
     f :: C [t] => t -> t
 even if -XFlexibleContexts is not set.  That elicits an
 error message suggesting the flag.  The result is more
 helpful than the error message you get otherwise.
