 Further refine the test for 'given' equalities

 Trac #8651 revealed that my previous fix (itself in response to #8644)
 wasn't quite right.  The plan, using the CtOrigin to identify
 constraints arising from flattening, is described in TcSimplify,
 Note [When does an implication have given equalities?]
