The end goal is to dynamically add deduplication tables for `ModIface`
interface serialisation.
We identify two main points of interest that make this difficult:
1. UserData hardcodes what `Binary` instances can have deduplication
tables. Moreover, it heavily uses partial functions.
2. GHC.Iface.Binary hardcodes the deduplication tables for 'Name' and
'FastString', making it difficult to add more deduplication.
Instead of having a single `UserData` record with fields for all the
types that can have deduplication tables, we allow to provide custom
serialisers for any `Typeable`.
These are wrapped in existentials and stored in a `Map` indexed by their
respective `TypeRep`.
The `Binary` instance of the type to deduplicate still needs to
explicitly look up the decoder via `findUserDataReader` and
`findUserDataWriter`, which is no worse than the status-quo.
`Map` was chosen as microbenchmarks indicate it is the fastest for a
small number of keys (< 10).
To generalise the deduplication table serialisation mechanism, we
introduce the types `ReaderTable` and `WriterTable` which provide a
simple interface that is sufficient to implement a general purpose
deduplication mechanism for `writeBinIface` and `readBinIface`.
This allows us to provide a list of deduplication tables for
serialisation that can be extended more easily, for example for
`IfaceTyCon`, see the issue https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/24540
for more motivation.
In addition to ths refactoring, we split `UserData` into `ReaderUserData`
and `WriterUserData`, to avoid partial functions.
Bump haddock submodule to accomodate for `UserData` split.

A `BinHandle` contains too much information for reading data.
For example, it needs to keep a `FastMutInt` and a `IORef BinData`,
when the non-mutable variants would suffice.
Additionally, this change has the benefit that anyone can immediately
tell whether the `BinHandle` is used for reading or writing.
Bump haddock submodule BinHandle split.

The type `IfaceType` is a highly redundant, tree-like data structure.
While benchmarking, we realised that the high redundancy of `IfaceType`
causes high memory consumption in GHCi sessions.
We fix this by adding a deduplication table to the serialisation of
`ModIface`, similar to how we deduplicate `Name`s and `FastString`s.
When reading the interface file back, the table allows us to automatically
share identical values of `IfaceType`.
This deduplication has the beneficial side effect to additionally reduce
the size of the on-disk interface files tremendously.
We also add IfaceType deduplication table to .hie serialisation and
refactor .hie file serialisation to use the same infrastrucutre as
`putWithTables`.

Introduce the flag `-fwrite-if-compression=<n>` which allows to
configure the compression level of writing .hi files.
Reading .hi files doesn't need to know the initial compression level,
and can always deserialise a `ModIface`.
This allows users to experiment with different compression levels for
packages, without recompilation of dependencies.
We introduce three compression levels:
* `1`: `Normal` mode. This is the least amount of compression.
It deduplicates only `Name` and `FastString`s, and is naturally the
fastest compression mode.
* `2`: `Safe` mode. It has a noticeable impact on .hi file size and is
marginally slower than `Normal` mode. In general, it should be safe to
always use `Safe` mode.
* `3`: `Full` deduplication mode. Deduplicate as much as we can,
resulting in minimal .hi files, but at the cost of additional
compilation time.
Note, the deduplication also has an additional side effect of reduced
memory consumption to implicit sharing of deduplicated elements.
See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/24540 for example where
that matters.
