Remove fancy shadowing logic; always override in package database order.

This is a stopgap fix for GHC 8.0 bug #12485: in particular,
it relaxes need for -package-db flags to be given in
dependency order.  The trade-off is that we are a lot more
unsafe when there are packages with duplicate 'id's in
the database stack: the new code will not do an ABI compatibility
check: if two packages have the same 'id', they are assumed to
be ABI compatible.  If this is not true, GHC may build
segfaulting executables.

Missing test updates, but I'm putting it up so people can
take a look.

In GHC 8.2, we'll record ABIs for all dependencies, allowing
GHC to make better decisions about shadowing.

Deriving Functor-like classes should unify kind variables

While the deriving machinery always unifies the kind of the typeclass
argument with the kind of the datatype, this proves not to be sufficient
to produce well kinded instances for some poly-kinded datatypes. For
example:

```
newtype Compose (f :: k2 -> *) (g :: k1 -> k2) (a :: k1)
  = Compose (f (g a)) deriving Functor
```

would fail because only `k1` would get unified with `*`, causing the
following
ill kinded instance to be generated:

```
instance (Functor (f :: k2 -> *), Functor (g :: * -> k2)) =>
  Functor (Compose f g) where ...
```

To prevent this, we need to take the subtypes and unify their kinds with
`* -> *`.

Fixes #10524 for good.
