 Simplify rnLHsInstType

 This patch is preparatory for the main fix for Trac #13324

 Here, we simplify rnLHsInstType so that it does not try
 to figure out the class name.  This turns out to have a good
 (rather than bad) effect on error messages, and it prepares
 the way for the main event.

 Plus, less code!
