I can't build HEAD

[Matthew Pickering]

The ticket which tracks bumping the bootstrap compiler to 9.4 is
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23195

We should bump all the images and update the configure check *before*
merging changes which require a newer bootstrap compiler.

I imagine this problem has been introduced by
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/10827 so I will
revert that commit for now until the relevant other parts have been
updated.

Cheers,

Matt
