 Normalize the element type of ListPat, fix #14547

 Summary:
 The element type of `List` maybe a type family instacen, rather than a
 trivial type.
 For example in Trac #14547,

 ```
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies, OverloadedLists #-}

 class Foo f where
         type It f
         foo :: [It f] -> f

 data List a = Empty | a :! List a deriving Show

 instance Foo (List a) where
         type It (List a) = a
         foo [] = Empty
         foo (x : xs) = x :! foo xs
 ```

 Here the element type of `[]` is `It (List a)`, we should also normalize
 it as `a`.

 Test Plan: make test TEST="T14547"
