 Fix SigTvs at the kind level

 This patch fixes two bugs in the treatment of SigTvs at the
 kind level:

 - We should always generalise them, never default them
   (Trac #14555, #14563)

 - We should check if they get unified with each other
   (Trac #11203)

 Both are described in TcHsType
    Note [Kind generalisation and SigTvs]
