Fix #14238 by always pretty-printing visible tyvars
Summary:
Before, GHC would never print visible tyvars in the absence
of `-fprint-explicit-foralls`, which led to `:kind` displaying
incorrect kinds in GHCi. The fix is simple—simply check beforehand
if any of the type variable binders are required when deciding when
to pretty-print them.
Test Plan: make test TEST=T14238
