Title: SI-2066 Plug a soundness hole higher order type params, overriding

PolyType-s parameterized by higher order type parameters (HOTPs)
should only be relatable with <:< or =:= if the variances of their
type parameters line up. This is only enforced for HOTPs defined in
method type arguments.

Review by @adriaanm. I'm not sure if this is the right place to
make the fix, nor if the scope is quite right.
