 Fix deriving Ord when RebindableSyntax is enabled

 Deriving clauses (Ord especially) generated if-expressions with nlHsIf
 which were subject to RebindableSyntax. This changes nlHsIf to generate
 concrete if-expressions.

 There was also an error about calling tagToEnum# at a polymorphic type,
 which is not allowed. Fixing nlHsIf didn't fix this for some reason, so
 I generated a type ascription around the call to tagToEnum#. Not sure
 why the typechecker could not figure this out.

 Test Plan: Added a test, ran validate.
