 Fix #14114 by checking for duplicate vars on pattern synonym RHSes

 Summary:
 Because we weren't checking for duplicate variables on the right-hand
 sides of pattern synonyms, bogus definitions like this one passed the
 renamer:

 ```lang=haskell
 pattern Foo a <- (a,a)
 ```

 Luckily, the fix is simple.

 Test Plan: make test TEST=T14114
