    Hide the CallStack implicit parameter
    
    The implicit parameter isn't actually very relevant to the CallStack
    machinery, so we hide the implementation details behind a constraint
    alias
    
    ```
    type HasCallStack = (?callStack :: CallStack)
    ```
    
    This has a few benefits:
    
    1. No need to enable `ImplicitParams` in user code.
    2. No need to remember the `?callStack` naming convention.
    3. Gives us the option to change the implementation details in the
    future with less user-land breakage.
    
    The revised `CallStack` API is exported from `GHC.Stack` and makes no
    mention of the implicit parameter.
