Remove ValueParamPattern case from deduction (#6869)

This case is redundant: when deducing against a runtime parameter
pattern, the type is all that matters, and the type is added to the
deduction earlier. Additionally deducing the same argument against
parameter's subpattern just creates duplicate work, because the
subpattern has the same type.
