At GhcRn stage, in isIrrefutableHsPat we only looked up data constructors
in the RdrEnv, which meant that we lacked fallibility information for
out-of-scope constructors (which can arise from Template Haskell splices).
Instead, we use 'lookupGREInfo', which looks up the information in
the type environment. This was the correct function to call all along,
but was not used in 572fbc44 due to import cycle reasons. The appropriate
functions, 'irrefutableConLike{Rn,Tc}' have been moved to 'GHC.Rename.Env',
which avoids import cycles.
Fixes #25164

- Rename LoadedBCOs into LazyBCOs
- Bundle SptEntries with CompiledByteCode and removed [SptEntry] field
from the BCOs constructor
- Rename Linkable's LM constructor into Linkable: in the past we had LM
and LP for Module and Package, now we only have the former.
- Rename Unlinked into LinkablePart (and linkableUnlinked into
linkableParts)
- Use NonEmpty to encode invariant in Linkable's linkableParts type
- Add helpers: linkableLibs, linkableBCOs, etc.
- Add documentation
- Remove partial nameOfObject
- Rename nameOfObject_maybe into linkablePartPath
- Rename byteCodeOfObject into linkablePartAllBCOs.
- Refactor linkablePartAllBCOs to avoid a panic if a LazyBCO has a C
stub. Document the fact that LazyBCOs are returned in this case
(contrary to linkableBCOs which only returns non-lazy ones)
Refactoring done while trying to understand how to adapt the linker code
to support the JS backend too (cf #24886).

This squashed commit adds support for exportable named defaults, the accepted
GHC proposal at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/409
The proposal extends the Haskell '98 declarations
default (Int, Double)
which were implicitly always applying to Num class alone, to allow specifying
an arbitrary single-parameter class:
default IsString (Text, String)
The effect of this declaration would be to eliminate the ambiguous type errors
around string literals when OverloadedStrings extension is active. The
declaration by itself has effect only in its module, so the proposal also adds
the ability to export class defaults:
module MyModule (default IsIstring)
Once the language extension is published and established, we can consider using
it in base and other libraries.
See Note [Named default declarations] in GHC.Tc.Gen.Default
for implementation details.

This MR revised the crucial kick-out criteria in the constraint solver.
Ticket #24984 showed an example in which
* We were kicking out unnecessarily
* That gave rise to extra work, of course
* But it /also/ led to exponentially-sized coercions due to lack
of sharing in coercions (something we want to fix separately #20264)
This MR sharpens up the kick-out criteria; specifially in (KK2) we look
only under type family applications if (fs>=fw).
This forced me to understand the existing kick-out story, and I ended
up rewriting many of the careful Notes in GHC.Tc.Solver.InertSet.
Especially look at the new `Note [The KickOut Criteria]`
The proof of termination is not air-tight, but it is better than before,
and both Richard and I think it's correct :-).

This patch removes the -fasm flag from test ways, except ways like
optasm that explicitly state they are meant to be compiled with NCG
backend. Most test ways should use the default codegen backend, and
the precense of -fasm can cause stderr mismatches like this when GHC
is configured with the unregisterised backend:
```

This commit fixes isMinTTY.h casing in isMinTTY.c that's compiled for
Windows targets. While this looks harmless given Windows filesystems
are case-insensitive by default, it does cause a compilation warning
with recent versions of clang, so we might as well fix the casing:
```

This data is used alongside Core bindings to reconstruct intermediate
build products when linking Template Haskell splices with bytecode.
Since foreign stubs and files are generated in the pipeline, they were
lost with only Core bindings stored in interfaces.
The interface codec type `IfaceForeign` contains a simplified
representation of `ForeignStubs` and the set of foreign sources that
were manually added by the user.
When the backend phase writes an interface, `mkFullIface` calls
`encodeIfaceForeign` to read foreign source file contents and assemble
`IfaceForeign`.
After the recompilation status check of an upstream module,
`initWholeCoreBindings` calls `decodeIfaceForeign` to restore
`ForeignStubs` and write the contents of foreign sources to the file
system as temporary files.
The restored foreign inputs are then processed by `hscInteractive` in
the same manner as in a regular pipeline.
When linking the stub objects for splices, they are excluded from suffix
adjustment for the interpreter way through a new flag in `Unlinked`.
For details about these processes, please consult Note [Foreign stubs
and TH bytecode linking].

a.out is a configure script byproduct. It was mistakenly checked into
the tree in !13118. This patch removes it, and include it in
.gitignore to prevent a similar error in the future.

This patch tweaks `exprIsConApp_maybe`, `exprIsHNF` and friends, and Demand
Analysis so that they exploit and maintain strictness of DataCon workers. See
`Note [Strict fields in Core]` for details.
Very little needed to change, and it puts field seq insertion done by Tag
Inference into a new perspective: That of *implementing* strict field semantics.
Before Tag Inference, DataCon workers are strict. Afterwards they are
effectively lazy and field seqs happen around use sites. History has shown
that there is no other way to guarantee taggedness and thus the STG Strict Field
Invariant.
Knock-on changes:
* I reworked the whole narrative around "Tag inference".
It's now called "EPT enforcement" and I recycyled the different overview
Notes into `Note [EPT enforcement]`.
* `exprIsHNF` previously used `exprOkForSpeculation` on unlifted arguments
instead of recursing into `exprIsHNF`. That regressed the termination
analysis in CPR analysis (which simply calls out to `exprIsHNF`), so I made
it call `exprOkForSpeculation`, too.
* There's a small regression in Demand Analysis, visible in the changed test
output of T16859: Previously, a field seq on a variable would give that
variable a "used exactly once" demand, now it's "used at least once",
because `dmdTransformDataConSig` accounts for future uses of the field
that actually all go through the case binder (and hence won't re-enter the
potential thunk). The difference should hardly be observable.
* The Simplifier's fast path for data constructors only applies to lazy
data constructors now. I observed regressions involving Data.Binary.Put's
`Pair` data type.
* Unfortunately, T21392 does no longer reproduce after this patch, so I marked
it as "not broken" in order to track whether we regress again in the future.
Fixes #20749, the satisfying conclusion of an annoying saga (cf. the ideas
in #21497 and #22475).
Compiler perf generally improves, sometimes drastically:

I looked at T17516. It seems we do a few more simplifier iterations and end up
with a larger program. It seems that some things inline more, while other things
inline less. I don't see low-hanging fruit.
NoFib does not seem affected much either:

I had a look at last-piece. Nothing changes in stg-final, but there is a bit
of ... movement around Data.Map.insert's use of GHC.Exts.lazy that is gone in
stg-final.
