Improve aggressive specialisation

This patch fixes #21286, by not unboxing dictionaries in
worker/wrapper (ever). The main payload is tiny:

* In `GHC.Core.Opt.DmdAnal.finaliseArgBoxities`, do not unbox
  dictionaries in `get_dmd`.  See Note [Do not unbox class dictionaries]
  in that module

* I also found that imported wrappers were being fruitlessly
  specialised, so I fixed that too, in canSpecImport.
  See Note [Specialising imported functions] point (2).

In doing due diligence in the testsuite I fixed a number of
other things:

* Improve Note [Specialising unfoldings] in GHC.Core.Unfold.Make,
  and Note [Inline specialisations] in GHC.Core.Opt.Specialise,
  and remove duplication between the two. The new Note describes
  how we specialise functions with an INLINABLE pragma.

  And simplify the defn of `spec_unf` in `GHC.Core.Opt.Specialise.specCalls`.

* Improve Note [Worker/wrapper for INLINABLE functions] in
  GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap.

  And (critially) make an actual change which is to propagate the
  user-written pragma from the original function to the wrapper; see
  `mkStrWrapperInlinePrag`.

* Write new Note [Specialising imported functions] in
  GHC.Core.Opt.Specialise

All this has a big effect on some compile times. This is
compiler/perf, showing only changes over 1%:

I diligently investigated some of the big drops.

* Caused by not fruitlessly specialising wrappers
    LargeRecord, T9630

I did not investigate exactly what happens in T9203.

Nofib is a wash:

+-------------------------------++--+-----------+-----------+

I spent quite some time investigating dom-lt, but it's pretty
complicated.  See my note on !7847.  Conclusion: it's just a delicate
inlining interaction, and we have plenty of those.

Refactor UnfoldingSource and IfaceUnfolding

I finally got tired of the way that IfaceUnfolding reflected
a previous structure of unfoldings, not the current one. This
MR refactors UnfoldingSource and IfaceUnfolding to be simpler
and more consistent.

It's largely just a refactor, but in UnfoldingSource (which moves
to GHC.Types.Basic, since it is now used in IfaceSyn too), I
distinguish between /user-specified/ and /system-generated/ stable
unfoldings.

    data UnfoldingSource
      = VanillaSrc
      | StableUserSrc   -- From a user-specified pragma
      | StableSystemSrc -- From a system-generated unfolding
      | CompulsorySrc

This has a minor effect in CSE (see the use of isisStableUserUnfolding
in GHC.Core.Opt.CSE), which I tripped over when working on
specialisation, but it seems like a Good Thing to know anyway.

INLINE/INLINEABLE pragmas in Foreign.Marshal.Array

Foreign.Marshal.Array contains many small functions, all of which are
overloaded, and which are critical for performance. Yet none of them
had pragmas, so it was a fluke whether or not they got inlined.

This patch makes them all either INLINE (small ones) or
INLINEABLE and hence specialisable (larger ones).

See Note [Specialising array operations] in that module.

Export OnOff from GHC.Driver.Session

I was working on fixing an issue where HLS was trying to pass its
DynFlags to HLint, but didn't pass any of the disabled language
extensions, which HLint would then assume are on because of their
default values.

Currently it's not possible to get any of the "No" flags because the
`DynFlags.extensions` field can't really be used since it is [OnOff
Extension] and OnOff is not exported.

So let's export it.

Avoid Data.List.group; prefer Data.List.NonEmpty.group

This allows to avoid further partiality, e. g., map head . group is
replaced by map NE.head . NE.group, and there are less panic calls.

Clean up `findWiredInUnit`. In particular, avoid `head`.

Eliminate headFS, use unconsFS instead

A small step towards #22185 to avoid partial functions + safe implementation
of `startsWithUnderscore`.
