 Fix #16411 by making dataConCannotMatch aware of (~~)

 The `dataConCannotMatch` function (which powers the
 `-Wpartial-fields` warning, among other things) had special reasoning
 for explicit equality constraints of the form `a ~ b`, but it did
 not extend that reasoning to `a ~~ b` constraints, leading to #16411.
 Easily fixed.
