 Fix infix record field fixity (#11167 and #11173).

 This extends D1585 with proper support for infix duplicate record
 fields.  In particular, it is now possible to declare record fields as
 infix in a module for which `DuplicateRecordFields` is enabled, fixity
 is looked up correctly and a readable (although unpleasant) error
 message is generated if multiple fields with different fixities are in
 scope.

 As a bonus, `DEPRECATED` and `WARNING` pragmas now work for
 duplicate record fields. The pragma applies to all fields with the
 given label.

 In addition, a couple of minor `DuplicateRecordFields` bugs, which were
 pinpointed by the `T11167_ambig` test case, are fixed by this patch:

   - Ambiguous infix fields can now be disambiguated by putting a type
     signature on the first argument

   - Polymorphic type constructor signatures (such as `ContT () IO a` in
     `T11167_ambig`) now work for disambiguation

 Parts of this patch are from D1585 authored by @KaneTW.

 Test Plan: New tests added.
