     Visible kind application

     Summary:
     This patch implements visible kind application (GHC Proposal
 15/#12045), as well as #15360 and #15362.
     It also refactors unnamed wildcard handling, and requires that type
 equations in type families in Template Haskell be
     written with full type on lhs. PartialTypeSignatures are on and
 warnings are off automatically with visible kind
     application, just like in term-level.

     There are a few remaining issues with this patch, as documented in
     ticket #16082.

     Includes a submodule update for Haddock.

     Test Plan: Tests T12045a/b/c/TH1/TH2, T15362, T15592a
