    Never tick primitive string literals
    
    Summary:
    This is a more aggressive approach to the problem initially solved in
    f5b275a239d2554c4da0b7621211642bf3b10650, where top-level primitive string
    literals were being wrapped by ticks. This breaks the Core invariant descirbed
    in Note [CoreSyn top-level string literals]. However, the previous approach was
    incomplete and left several places where inappropriate ticks could sneak in.
    
    This commit kills the problem at the source: we simply never tick any primitive
    string literal expression. The assumption here is that these expressions are
    destined for the top-level, where they cannot be ticked, anyways. So even if
    they haven't been floated out yet there is no reason to tick them.
    
    This partially reverts commit f5b275a239d2554c4da0b7621211642bf3b10650.

 wrapped in Ticks, as is otherwise done with lifted bindings. CoreToStg expects
 to see just a plain (Lit (MachStr ...)) expression on the RHS of primitive
 string bindings; anything else and things break. CoreLint checks this invariant.
+To ensure that ticks don't sneak in CoreUtils.mkTick refuses to wrap any
+primitive string expression with a tick.
