Note [Promotion in signatures]

If an unsolved metavariable in a signature is not generalized
(because we're not generalizing the construct -- e.g., pattern
sig -- or because the metavars are constrained -- see kindGeneralizeSome)
we need to promote to maintain (WantedInv) of Note [TcLevel invariants]
in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType. Note that promotion is identical in effect to generalizing
and the reinstantiating with a fresh metavariable at the current level.
So in some sense, we generalize *all* variables, but then re-instantiate
some of them.

Here is an example of why we must promote:
  foo (x :: forall a. a -> Proxy b) = ...

In the pattern signature, `b` is unbound, and will thus be brought into
scope. We do not know its kind: it will be assigned kappa[2]. Note that
kappa is at TcLevel 2, because it is invented under a forall. (A priori,
the kind kappa might depend on `a`, so kappa rightly has a higher TcLevel
than the surrounding context.) This kappa cannot be solved for while checking
the pattern signature (which is not kind-generalized). When we are checking
the *body* of foo, though, we need to unify the type of x with the argument
type of bar. At this point, the ambient TcLevel is 1, and spotting a
metavariable with level 2 would violate the (WantedInv) invariant of
Note [TcLevel invariants]. So, instead of kind-generalizing,
we promote the metavariable to level 1. This is all done in kindGeneralizeNone.
