Add support for heap profiling while using the nonmoving collector.
We greatly simply the implementation by disabling concurrent collection for
GCs when heap profiling is enabled. This entails that the marked objects on
the nonmoving heap are exactly the live objects.
Note that we match the behaviour for live bytes accounting by taking the size
of objects on the nonmoving heap to be that of the segment's block
rather than the object itself.

Supplement the existing power 2 sized nonmoving allocators with a family
of dense allocators up to a configurable threshold.
This should reduce waste from rounding up block sizes while keeping the
amount of allocator sizes manageable.
This patch:
- Adds a new configuration option `--nonmoving-dense-allocator-count`
to control the amount of these new dense allocators.
- Adds some constants to `NonmovingAllocator` in order to keep
marking fast with the new allocators.

We use live words rather than live blocks to determine the size of the
heap for determining memory retention.
Most of the time these two metrics align, but they can come apart in
normal usage when using the nonmoving collector.
The nonmoving collector leads to a lot of partially occupied blocks. So,
using live words is more accurate.
They can also come apart when the heap is suffering from high levels
fragmentation caused by small pinned objects, but in this case, the
block size is the more accurate metric. Since this case is best avoided
anyway. It is ok to accept the trade-off that we might try (and
probably) fail to return more memory in this case.

Uses responseFile syntax.
The issue arises when GHC is installed on windows into a location that
has a space, for example the user name is 'Fake User'.
The $topdir will also contain a space, consequentially.
When we resolve the top dir in the string `-I$topdir/mingw/include`,
then `words` will turn this single argument into `-I/C/Users/Fake` and
`User/.../mingw/include` which trips up the flag argument parser of
various tools such as gcc or clang.
We avoid this by escaping the $topdir before replacing it in
`initSettngs`.
Additionally, we allow to escape spaces and quotation marks for
arguments in `settings` file.
Add regression test case to count the number of options after variable
expansion and argument escaping took place.
Additionally, we check that escaped spaces and double quotation marks are
correctly parsed.
