 Fix #10079 by recurring after flattening exposes a TyConApp.

 Previously, try_decompose_nom_app was smart enough to recur if
 flattening exposed a TyConApp, but try_decompose_repr_app was
 not. Now, if neither type in try_decompose_repr_app is an AppTy,
 recur.

 Seems all straightforward enough to avoid a Note.
