 Fix unparseable pretty-printing of promoted data cons

 Previously we would print code which would not round-trip:
 ```
...
:set -XDataKinds
:set -XPolyKinds
data Proxy k = Proxy
_ :: Proxy '[ 'True ]
 error:
   Found hole: _ :: Proxy '['True]
_ :: Proxy '['True]
 error:
     Invalid type signature: _ :: ...
     Should be of form <variable> :: <type>

Test Plan: Validate with T14343
