Note [Deferred errors for coercion holes]

GHC/Tc/Errors.hs:1436 compiler

Suppose we need to defer a type error where the destination for the evidence
is a coercion hole. We can't just put the error in the hole, because we can't
make an erroneous coercion. (Remember that coercions are erased for runtime.)
Instead, we invent a new EvVar, bind it to an error and then make a coercion
from that EvVar, filling the hole with that coercion. Because coercions'
types are unlifted, the error is guaranteed to be hit before we get to the
coercion.
