-Subject: bug with polymorphic abstract exported equivalence types

-The compiler generates incorrect code for the following program.
-The problem is that at the call to f/1 in module bar, f/1 has
-type `func(foo(T)) = int', and so it passes the type_info in r1
-and the foo(T) (== int) in r2. But in the definition it has type
-`func(int) = int', so it just passes the int in r1.
-Similarly for the call to c/0.
-
-:- module foo.
-:- interface.
-:- func f(foo(T)) = int.
-:- type foo(T).
-:- func c = foo(int).
-:- implementation.
-:- import_module int.
-:- type foo(T) == int.

-f(X) = X + 1.
