<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Use ShortByteString for FastString
There are multiple reasons we want this:
- Fewer allocations: ByteString has 3 fields, ShortByteString just has one.
- ByteString memory is pinned:
- This can cause fragmentation issues (see for example #13110) but also
- makes using FastStrings in compact regions impossible.

* Represent backends with a `Backend` datatype in GHC.Driver.Backend
* Don't detect the default backend to use for the target platform at
compile time in Hadrian/make but at runtime. It makes "Settings"
simpler and it is a step toward making GHC multi-target.
* The latter change also fixes hadrian which has not been updated to
take into account that the NCG now supports AIX and PPC64 (cf
df26b95559fd467abc0a3a4151127c95cb5011b9 and
d3c1dda60d0ec07fc7f593bfd83ec9457dfa7984)

mmap may return address all over the place. mmap_next will ensure we get
the next free page after the requested address.
This is especially important for linking on aarch64, where the memory model with PIC
admits relocations in the +-4GB range, and as such we can't work with
arbitrary object locations in memory.
Of note: we map the rts into process space, so any mapped objects must
not be ouside of the 4GB from the processes address space.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">This patch addresses the exponential blow-up in the simplifier.
Specifically:
#13253 exponential inlining
#10421 ditto
#18140 strict constructors
#18282 another nested-function call case
This patch makes two significant changes:
1. For Ids that are used at most once in each branch of a case,
make the occurrence analyser record the total number of
syntactic occurrences. Then in postInlineUnconditionally
use that info to avoid inling something many many times.
Actual changes:
* See the occ_n_br field of OneOcc.
* postInlineUnconditionally
See Note [Suppress exponential blowup] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils
2. Change the way that mkDupableCont handles StrictArg.
The details are explained in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify
Note [Duplicating StrictArg]
