 Fix Trac #9815

 Dot-dot record-wildcard notation is simply illegal for constructors
 without any named fields, but that was neither documented nor checked.
 This patch does so

 - Make the check in RnPat
 - Add test T9815
 - Fix CmmLayoutStack which was using the illegal form (!)
 - Document in user manual
