 Accommodate API change in transSuperClasses

 In this patch

     commit 6eabb6ddb7c53784792ee26b1e0657bde7eee7fb
     Author: Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj at microsoft.com>
     Date:   Tue Dec 15 14:26:13 2015 +0000

     Allow recursive (undecidable) superclasses

 I changed (transSuperClasses p) to return only the
 superclasses of p, but not p itself. (Previously it always
 returned p as well.)

 The use of transSuperClasses in TcErrors.warnRedundantConstraints
 really needs 'p' in the result -- but I faild to fix this
 call site, and instead crippled the test for Trac #10100.

 This patch sets things right

 * Accomodates the API change
 * Re-enables T10100
 * And thereby fixes Trac #11474
