 Disallow standalone deriving declarations involving unboxed tuples or sums

 There was an awful leak where GHC permitted standalone `deriving`
 declarations to create instances for unboxed sum or tuple types. This
 fortifies the checks that GHC performs to catch this scenario and give
 an appropriate error message.

 Fixes #11509.
