In this patch we just define new CPP vars, but don't yet use them
or replace the existing approach. That will follow.
The intention here is that every I/O manager can be enabled/disabled at
GHC build time (subject to some constraints). More than one I/O manager
can be enabled to be built. At least one I/O manager supporting the
non-threaded RTS must be enabled as well as at least one supporting the
non-threaded RTS. The I/O managers enabled here will become the choices
available at runtime at RTS startup (in later patches). The choice can
be made with RTS flags. There are separate sets of choices for the
threaded and non-threaded RTS ways, because most I/O managers are
specific to these ways. Furthermore we must establish a default I/O
manager for the threaded and non-threaded RTS.
Most I/O managers are platform-specific so there are checks to ensure
each one can be enabled on the platform. Such checks are also where (in
future) any system dependencies (e.g. libraries) can be checked.
The output is a set of CPP flags (in the mk/config.h file), with one
flag per named I/O manager:
* IOMGR_BUILD_<name> : which ones should be built (some)
* IOMGR_DEFAULT_NON_THREADED_<name> : which one is default (exactly one)
* IOMGR_DEFAULT_THREADED_<name> : which one is default (exactly one)
and a set of derived flags in IOManager.h
* IOMGR_ENABLED_<name> : enabled for the current RTS way
Note that IOMGR_BUILD_<name> just says that an I/O manager will be
built for _some_ RTS way (i.e. threaded or non-threaded). The derived
flags IOMGR_ENABLED_<name> in IOManager.h say if each I/O manager is
enabled in the "current" RTS way. These are the ones that can be used
for conditional compilation of the I/O manager code.

Now instead of it being just used on Windows to select between the WinIO
vs the MIO or Win32-legacy I/O managers, it is now used on all platforms
for selecting the I/O manager to use.
Right now it remains the case that there is only an actual choice on
Windows, but that will change later.
Document the --io-manager flag in the user guide.
This change is also reflected in the RTS flags types in the base
library. Deprecate the export of IoSubSystem from GHC.RTS.Flags with a
message to import it from GHC.IO.Subsystem.
The way the 'IoSubSystem' is detected also changes. Instead of looking
at the RTS flag, there is now a C bool global var in the RTS which gets
set on startup when the I/O manager is selected. This bool var says
whether the selected I/O manager classifies as "native" on Windows,
which in practice means the WinIO I/O manager has been selected.
Similarly, the is_io_mng_native_p RTS helper function is re-implemented
in terms of the selected I/O manager, rather than based on the RTS
flags.
We do however remove the ./configure --native-io-manager flag because
we're bringing the WinIO/MIO/Win32-legacy choice under the new general
scheme for selecting I/O managers, and that new scheme involves no
./configure time user choices, just runtime RTS flag choices.

Moves it into the IOManager.c where we can follow the new pattern of
switching on the selected I/O manager.
Uses a new IOManager API: syncDelay, following the naming convention of
sync* for thread-synchronous I/O & timer/delay operations.
As part of porting from cmm to C, we maintain the rule that the
why_blocked gets accessed using load acquire and store release atomic
memory operations. There was one exception to this rule: in the delay#
primop cmm code on posix (not win32), the why_blocked was being updated
using a store relaxed, not a store release. I've no idea why. In this
convesion I'm playing it safe here and using store release consistently.

No longer defined in IOManager.h, just a private function in
IOManager.c. Since it is no longer called from cmm code, just from
syncDelay. It ought to get moved further into the select() I/O manager
impl, rather than living in IOManager.c.
On the other hand appendToIOBlockedQueue is still called from cmm code
in the win32-legacy I/O manager primops async{Read,Write}#, and it is
also used by the select() I/O manager. Update the CPP and comments to
reflect this.

The implementation is eventually going to need to use more private
things, which will drag in unwanted includes into IOManager.h, so it's
better to move the impl out of the header file and into the .c file, at
the slight cost of it no longer being inline.
At the same time, change to the "switch (iomgr_type)" style.

We have lots of functions with conditional implementations for
different I/O managers. Some functions, for some I/O managers,
naturally have implementations that do nothing or barf. When only one
such I/O manager is enabled then the whole function implementation will
have an implementation that does nothing or barfs. This then results in
warnings from gcc that parameters are unused, or that the function
should be marked with attribute noreturn (since barf does not return).
The USED_IF_THREADS trick for fine-grained warning supression is fine
for just two cases, but an equivalent here would need
USED_IF_THE_ONLY_ENABLED_IOMGR_IS_X_OR_Y which would have combinitorial
blowup. So we take a coarse grained approach and simply disable these
two warnings for the whole file.
So we use a GCC pragma, with its handy push/pop support:
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wsuggest-attribute=noreturn"
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-parameter"
...
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop

rather than directly operating on the IO manager's data structures.
Specifically, when thowing an async exception to a thread that is
blocked waiting for I/O or waiting for a timer, then we want to cancel
that I/O waiting or cancel the timer. Currently this is done directly in
removeFromQueues() in RaiseAsync.c. We want it to go via proper APIs
both for modularity but also to let us support multiple I/O managers.
So add sync{IO,Delay}Cancel, which is the cancellation for the
corresponding sync{IO,Delay}. The implementations of these use the usual
"switch (iomgr_type)" style.

and have the scheduler use it.
Previously the scheduler calls awaitEvent directly, and awaitEvent is
implemented directly in the RTS I/O managers (select, win32). This
relies on the old scheme where there's a single active I/O manager for
each platform and RTS way.
We want to move that to go via an API in IOManager.{h,c} which can then
call out to the active I/O manager.
Also take the opportunity to split awaitEvent into two. The existing
awaitEvent has a bool wait parameter, to say if the call should be
blocking or non-blocking. We split this into two separate functions:
pollCompletedTimeoutsOrIO and awaitCompletedTimeoutsOrIO. We split them
for a few reasons: they have different post-conditions (specifically the
await version is supposed to guarantee that there are threads runnable
when it completes). Secondly, it is also anticipated that in future I/O
managers the implementations of the two cases will be simpler if they
are separated.

When the GC scavenges a TSO it needs to scavenge the tso->blocked_info
but the blocked_info is a big union and what lives there depends on the
two->why_blocked, which for I/O-related reasons is something that in
principle is the responsibility of the I/O manager and not the GC. So
the right thing to do is for the GC to ask the I/O manager to sscavenge
the blocked_info if it encounters any I/O-related why_blocked reasons.
So we add scavengeTSOIOManager in IOManager.{h,c} with the usual style.
Now as it happens, right now, there is no special scavenging to do, so
the implementation of scavengeTSOIOManager is a fancy no-op. That's
because the select I/O manager uses only the fd and target members,
which are not GC pointers, and the win32-legacy I/O manager _ought_ to
be using GC-managed heap objects for the StgAsyncIOResult but it is
actually usingthe C heap, so again no GC pointers. If the win32-legacy
were doing this more sensibly, then scavengeTSOIOManager would be the
right place to do the GC magic.

Used in setNumCapabilities.
It only does anything for MIO on Posix.
Previously it always invoked Haskell code, but that code only did
anything on non-Windows (and non-JS), and only threaded. That currently
effectively means the MIO I/O manager on Posix.
So now it only invokes it for the MIO Posix case.

Provide an opaque (forward) definition in Capability.h (since the cap
contains a *CapIOManager) and then only provide a full definition in
a new file IOManagerInternals.h. This new file is only supposed to be
included by the IOManager implementation, not by its users. So that
means IOManager.c and individual I/O manager implementations.
The posix/Signals.c still needs direct access, but that should be
eliminated. Anything that needs direct access either needs to be clearly
part of an I/O manager (e.g. the sleect() one) or go via a proper API.

Previously it was unclear that they did not work because the code path
was shared with other I/O managers (in particular select()).
Following the code carefully shows that what actually happens is that
the calling thread would block forever: the thread will be put into the
blocked queue, but no other action is scheduled that will ever result in
it getting unblocked.
It's better to just fail loudly in case anyone accidentally calls it,
also it's less confusing code.

All the changes are in fact not changes at all.
Previously, the IoSubSystem data type was defined in GHC.RTS.Flags and
exported from both GHC.RTS.Flags and GHC.IO.SubSystem. Now, the data
type is defined in GHC.IO.SubSystem and still exported from both
modules.
Therefore, the same exports and same instances are still available from
both modules. But the base-exports records only the defining module, and
so it looks like a change when it is fully compatible.
Related: we do add a deprecation to the export of the type via
GHC.RTS.Flags, telling people to use the export from GHC.IO.SubSystem.
Also the sort order for some unrelated Show instances changed. No idea
why.
The same changes apply in the other versions, with a few more changes
due to sort order weirdness.

When exploring compile-time regressions after meddling with the Simplifier, I
discovered that GHC.HsToCore.Pmc.Solver.Types.trvVarInfo was very delicately
balanced. It's a small, heavily used, overloaded function and it's important
that it inlines. By a fluke it was before, but at various times in my journey it
stopped doing so. So I just added an INLINE pragma to it; no sense in depending
on a delicately-balanced fluke.

This MR started as: allow the simplifer to do more in one pass,
arising from places I could see the simplifier taking two iterations
where one would do. But it turned into a larger project, because
these changes unexpectedly made inlining blow up, especially join
points in deeply-nested cases.
The main changes are below. There are also many new or rewritten Notes.
Avoiding simplifying repeatedly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See Note [Avoiding simplifying repeatedly]
* The SimplEnv now has a seInlineDepth field, which says how deep
in unfoldings we are. See Note [Inline depth] in Simplify.Env.
Currently used only for the next point: avoiding repeatedly
simplifying coercions.
* Avoid repeatedly simplifying coercions.
see Note [Avoid re-simplifying coercions] in Simplify.Iteration
As you'll see from the Note, this makes use of the seInlineDepth.
* Allow Simplify.Iteration.simplAuxBind to inline used-once things.
This is another part of Note [Post-inline for single-use things], and
is really good for reducing simplifier iterations in situations like
case K e of { K x -> blah }
wher x is used once in blah.
* Make GHC.Core.SimpleOpt.exprIsConApp_maybe do some simple case
elimination. Note [Case elim in exprIsConApp_maybe]
* Improve the case-merge transformation:
- Move the main code to `GHC.Core.Utils.mergeCaseAlts`, to join `filterAlts`
and friends. See Note [Merge Nested Cases] in GHC.Core.Utils.
- Add a new case for `tagToEnum#`; see wrinkle (MC3).
- Add a new case to look through join points: see wrinkle (MC4)
postInlineUnconditionally
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Allow Simplify.Utils.postInlineUnconditionally to inline variables
that are used exactly once. See Note [Post-inline for single-use things].
* Do not postInlineUnconditionally join point, ever.
Doing so does not reduce allocation, which is the main point,
and with join points that are used a lot it can bloat code.
See point (1) of Note [Duplicating join points] in
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.
* Do not postInlineUnconditionally a strict (demanded) binding.
It will not allocate a thunk (it'll turn into a case instead)
so again the main point of inlining it doesn't hold. Better
to check per-call-site.
* Improve occurrence analyis for bottoming function calls, to help
postInlineUnconditionally. See Note [Bottoming function calls]
in GHC.Core.Opt.OccurAnal
Inlining generally
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* In GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils.interestingCallContext,
use RhsCtxt NonRecursive (not BoringCtxt) for a plain-seq case.
See Note [Seq is boring] Also, wrinkle (SB1), inline in that
`seq` context only for INLINE functions (UnfWhen guidance).
* In GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils.interestingArg,
- return ValueArg for OtherCon [c1,c2, ...], but
- return NonTrivArg for OtherCon []
This makes a function a little less likely to inline if all we
know is that the argument is evaluated, but nothing else.
* isConLikeUnfolding is no longer true for OtherCon {}.
This propagates to exprIsConLike. Con-like-ness has /positive/
information.
Join points
~~~~~~~~~~~
* Be very careful about inlining join points.
See these two long Notes
Note [Duplicating join points] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration
Note [Inlining join points] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Inline
* When making join points, don't do so if the join point is so small
it will immediately be inlined; check uncondInlineJoin.
* In GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Inline.tryUnfolding, improve the inlining
heuristics for join points. In general we /do not/ want to inline
join points /even if they are small/. See Note [Duplicating join points]
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.
But sometimes we do: see Note [Inlining join points] in
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Inline; and the new `isBetterUnfoldingThan` function.
* Do not add an unfolding to a join point at birth. This is a tricky one
and has a long Note [Do not add unfoldings to join points at birth]
It shows up in two places
- In `mkDupableAlt` do not add an inlining
- (trickier) In `simplLetUnfolding` don't add an unfolding for a
fresh join point
I am not fully satisifed with this, but it works and is well documented.
* In GHC.Core.Unfold.sizeExpr, make jumps small, so that we don't penalise
having a non-inlined join point.
Performance changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Binary sizes fall by around 2.6%, according to nofib.
* Compile times improve slightly. Here are the figures over 1%.
I investiate the biggest differnce in T18304. It's a very small module, just
a few hundred nodes. The large percentage difffence is due to a single
function that didn't quite inline before, and does now, making code size a
bit bigger. I decided gains outweighed the losses.

With this patch:

...
And the same transformation in the TH land. The rest of the
changes is just updating code to handle new AST and writing tests
to check if it is possible to create invalid states using TH.
