 Prioritise equalities when solving, incl deriveds

 We already prioritise equalities when solving, but
 Trac #14723 showed that we were not doing so consistently
 enough, and as a result the type checker could go into a loop.
 Yikes.

 See Note [Prioritise equalities] in TcSMonad.

 Fixng this bug changed the solve order enough to demonstrate
 a problem with fundeps: Trac #14745.
