The idea here was that many of these names typically are not in scope but are well-known by the user and therefore qualification merely introduces noise. This, however, is a very large hammer and potentially breaks any consumer who relies on parsing GHC output (hence #11208). This commit partially reverts this change, now only printing `Constraint` (which appears quite often in errors) as unqualified. Fixes #11208. Updates tests in `array` submodule.
