Retain ordering of finalizers during GC (#7160)

This came up since the addition of C finalizers, since Haskell
finalizers are already stored in an explicit list.  C finalizers on
the other hand get a WEAK object each, so in order to run them in the
right order we have to make sure that list stays in the correct
order.  I hate adding new invariants, but this is the quickest way to
fix the bug for now.  A better way to fix it would be to have a single
WEAK object with a list of finaliers attached to it, and a primop
for adding finalizers to the list.

Don't assume that coercion variables have (~) types

The constraint solver doesn't zonk the types of coercion variables
so we can't assume that a coercion variable will have a (~) type.

Fail earlier if there's an error in a type declaration

This change means that we don't recover from erroneous type
declarations, thereby reporting fewer errors.  But trying to
recover confused GHC (leading to a pattern match failure in
the compiler Trac #7175), and it turned out to be tricky
to fix that.

So this patch takes the more conservative path of failing
earlier, perhaps reporting fewer real errors.
