 Only pretty-print binders in closed type families with -fprint-explicit-
 foralls

 Previously, we were unconditionally pretty-printing all type variable
 binders when pretty-printing closed type families (e.g., in the output
 of `:info` in GHCi). This threw me for a loop, so let's guard this behind
 the `-fprint-explicit-foralls` flag.

 Test Plan: make test TEST=T13420
