 Typecheck typed TH splices properly (fix Trac #8577)

 This was an egregious error.  If e :: T (Q ty1)
 then when we have the splice

      $e :: ty2

 we must ensure that ty1~ty2 before we even think about
 running the splice!

 I took the opportunity to remove the dead-code tcSpliceDecls
 altogether.
