 There are flags to control the typechecking and renaming trace (`-dtrace-
 tc`, `-dtrace-rn`) but the constraint solver trace can't be controlled in
 this way. It doesn't seem to always be emitted but it the behaviour should
 be unified with the other tracing functions.

 `traceTcS` should be implemented in terms of `traceOptTcRn` and a flag
 added to control the output.
