    Implement a dedicated exitfication pass #14152
    
    The idea is described in #14152, and can be summarized: Float the exit
    path out of a joinrec, so that the simplifier can do more with it.
    See the test case for a nice example.
    
    The floating goes against what the simplifier usually does, hence we
    need to be careful not inline them back.
    
    The position of exitification in the pipeline was chosen after a small
    amount of experimentation, but may need to be improved. For example,
    exitification can allow rewrite rules to fire, but for that it would
    have to happen before the `simpl_phases`.
    
    Together with the next patch, perf.haskell.org reports these nice
    performance wins:
    
    	Nofib allocations    prev         change       gain
