 Introduce unboxedSum{Data,Type}Name to template-haskell

 Summary:
 In D2448 (which introduced Template Haskell support for unboxed
 sums), I neglected to add `unboxedSumDataName` and `unboxedSumTypeName`
 functions, since there wasn't any way you could write unboxed sum data or
 type
 constructors in prefix form to begin with (see #12514). But even if you
 can't
 write these `Name`s directly in source code, it would still be nice to be
 able
 to use these `Name`s in Template Haskell (for instance, to be able to
 treat
 unboxed sum type constructors like any other type constructors).

 Along the way, this uncovered a minor bug in `isBuiltInOcc_maybe` in
 `TysWiredIn`, which was calculating the arity of unboxed sum data
 constructors
 incorrectly.

 Test Plan: make test TEST=T12478_5
