 Add missing type representations

 Previously we were missing `Typeable` representations for several
 wired-in types (and their promoted constructors). These include,

  * `Nat`
  * `Symbol`
  * `':`
  * `'[]`

 Moreover, some constructors were incorrectly identified as being defined
 in `GHC.Types` whereas they were in fact defined in `GHC.Prim`.

 Ultimately this is just a temporary band-aid as there is general
 agreement that we should eliminate the manual definition of these
 representations entirely.
