<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Optimise nullary type constructor usage
During the compilation of programs GHC very frequently deals with
the `Type` type, which is a synonym of `TYPE 'LiftedRep`. This patch
teaches GHC to avoid expanding the `Type` synonym (and other nullary
type synonyms) during type comparisons, saving a good amount of work.
This optimisation is described in `Note [Comparing nullary type
synonyms]`.
To maximize the impact of this optimisation, we introduce a few
special-cases to reduce `TYPE 'LiftedRep` to `Type`. See
`Note [Prefer Type over TYPE 'LiftedPtrRep]`.
Closes #17958.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Move Unit related fields from DynFlags to HscEnv
The unit database cache, the home unit and the unit state were stored in
DynFlags while they ought to be stored in the compiler session state
(HscEnv). This patch fixes this.
It introduces a new UnitEnv type that should be used in the future to
handle separate unit environments (especially host vs target units).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Optimize dumping of consecutive whitespace.
The naive way of putting out n characters of indent would be something
like `hPutStr hdl (replicate n ' ')`. However this is quite inefficient
as we allocate an absurd number of strings consisting of simply spaces
as we don't cache them.
To improve on this we now track if we can simply write ascii spaces via
hPutBuf instead. This is the case when running with -ddump-to-file where
we force the encoding to be UTF8.
This avoids both the cost of going through encoding as well as avoiding
allocation churn from all the white space. Instead we simply use hPutBuf
on a preallocated unlifted string.
When dumping stg like this:
> nofib/spectral/simple/Main.hs -fforce-recomp -ddump-stg-final -ddump-to-file -c +RTS -s
Allocations went from 1,778 MB to 1,702MB. About a 4% reduction of
allocation! I did not measure the difference in runtime but expect it
to be similar.
Bumps the haddock submodule since the interface of GHC's Pretty
slightly changed.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Force module recompilation if '*' prefix was used to load modules in ghci (#8042)
Usually pre-compiled code is preferred to be loaded in ghci if available, which means
that if we try to load module with '*' prefix and compilation artifacts are available
on disc (.o and .hi files) or the source code was untouched, the driver would think
no recompilation is required. Therefore, we need to force recompilation so that desired
byte-code is generated and loaded. Forcing in this case should be ok, since this is what
happens for interpreted code anyways when reloading modules.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Reject dodgy scoping in associated family instance RHSes
Commit e63518f5d6a93be111f9108c0990a1162f88d615 tried to push all of the logic
of detecting out-of-scope type variables on the RHSes of associated type family
instances to `GHC.Tc.Validity` by deleting a similar check in the renamer.
Unfortunately, this commit went a little too far, as there are some corner
cases that `GHC.Tc.Validity` doesn't detect. Consider this example:
```hs
class C a where
data D a
instance forall a. C Int where
data instance D Int = MkD a
```
If this program isn't rejected by the time it reaches the typechecker, then
GHC will believe the `a` in `MkD a` is existentially quantified and accept it.
This is almost surely not what the user wants! The simplest way to reject
programs like this is to restore the old validity check in the renamer
(search for `improperly_scoped` in `rnFamEqn`).
Note that this is technically a breaking change, since the program in the
`polykinds/T9574` test case (which previously compiled) will now be rejected:
```hs
instance Funct ('KProxy :: KProxy o) where
type Codomain 'KProxy = NatTr (Proxy :: o -> *)
```
This is because the `o` on the RHS will now be rejected for being out of scope.
Luckily, this is simple to repair:
```hs
instance Funct ('KProxy :: KProxy o) where
type Codomain ('KProxy @o) = NatTr (Proxy :: o -> *)
```
All of the discussion is now a part of the revamped
`Note [Renaming associated types]` in `GHC.Rename.Module`.
A different design would be to make associated type family instances have
completely separate scoping from the parent instance declaration, much like
how associated type family default declarations work today. See the discussion
beginning at https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/18021#note_265729 for
more on this point. This, however, would break even more programs that are
accepted today and likely warrants a GHC proposal before going forward. In the
meantime, this patch fixes the issue described in #18021 in the least invasive
way possible. There are programs that are accepted today that will no longer
be accepted after this patch, but they are arguably pathological programs, and
they are simple to repair.
Fixes #18021.
