 Remove the check_lifted check in TcValidity

 This patch fixes Trac #11465.  The check_unlifted check really isn't
 necessary, as discussed in Trac #11120 comment:19.

 Removing it made just one test-suite change,
 in indexed-types/should_fail/T9357, by allowing

    type family F (a :: k1) :: k2
    type instance F Int# = Int

 to be accepted.  And indeed that seems entirely reasonable.
