SI-7902 Fix spurious kind error due to an unitialized symbol

Tracked down this error:

    <none> is invariant, but type Y2 is declared covariant
    <none>'s bounds<notype> are stricter than type X2's declared bounds >: Nothing <: Any, <none>'s bounds<notype> are stricter than type Y2's declared bounds >: Nothing <: Any

to `Symbol#typeParams` returning `List(NoSymbol)` if the symbol
was not initialized.

This happends in the enclosed test for:

    // checkKindBoundsHK()
    hkArgs   = List(type M3)
    hkParams = List(type M2)

This commit forces the symbol of the higher-kinded type argument
before checking kind conformance.

A little backstory:

The `List(NoSymbol)` arises from:

    class PolyTypeCompleter... {
      // @M. If `owner` is an abstract type member, `typeParams` are all NoSymbol (see comment in `completerOf`),
      // otherwise, the non-skolemized (external) type parameter symbols
      override val typeParams = tparams map (_.symbol)

The variation that triggers this problem gets into the kind
conformance checks quite early on, during naming of:

    private[this] val x = ofType[InSeq]

The inferred type of which is forced during:

    def addDerivedTrees(typer: Typer, stat: Tree): List[Tree] = stat match {
      case vd @ ValDef(mods, name, tpt, rhs) if !noFinishGetterSetter(vd) =>
        // If we don't save the annotations, they seem to wander off.
        val annotations = stat.symbol.initialize.annotations
