Refactor CLabel pretty-printing

Pretty-printing CLabel relies on sdocWithDynFlags that we want to remove
(#10143, #17957). It uses it to query the backend and the platform.

This patch exposes Clabel ppr functions specialised for each backend so
that backend code can directly use them.

Remove ConDeclGADTPrefixPs

This removes the `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` per the discussion in #18517.
Most of this patch simply removes code, although the code in the
`rnConDecl` case for `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` had to be moved around a
bit:

* The nested `forall`s check now lives in the `rnConDecl` case for
  `ConDeclGADT`.
* The `LinearTypes`-specific code that used to live in the
  `rnConDecl` case for `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` now lives in
  `GHC.Parser.PostProcess.mkGadtDecl`, which is now monadic so that
  it can check if `-XLinearTypes` is enabled.

Fixes #18157.

Fix GHC_STAGE definition generated by make

Fixes #18070

GHC_STAGE is the stage of the compiler we're building, it should be 1,2(,3?).
But make was generating 0 and 1.

Hadrian does this correctly using a similar `+ 1`:

Grammar for types and data/newtype constructors

Before this patch, we parsed types into a reversed sequence
of operators and operands. For example, (F x y + G a b * X)
would be parsed as [X, *, b, a, G, +, y, x, F],
using a simple grammar:

	tyapps
	  : tyapp
	  | tyapps tyapp

	tyapp
	  : atype
	  | PREFIX_AT atype
	  | tyop
	  | unpackedness

Then we used a hand-written state machine to assemble this
 either into a type,        using 'mergeOps',
     or into a constructor, using 'mergeDataCon'.

This is due to a syntactic ambiguity:

	data T1 a =          MkT1 a
	data T2 a = Ord a => MkT2 a

In T1, what follows after the = sign is a data/newtype constructor
declaration. However, in T2, what follows is a type (of kind
Constraint). We don't know which of the two we are parsing until we
encounter =>, and we cannot check for => without unlimited lookahead.

This poses a few issues when it comes to e.g. infix operators:

	data I1 = Int :+ Bool :+ Char          -- bad
	data I2 = Int :+ Bool :+ Char => MkI2  -- fine

By this issue alone we are forced into parsing into an intermediate
representation and doing a separate validation pass.

However, should that intermediate representation be as low-level as a
flat sequence of operators and operands?

Before GHC Proposal #229, the answer was Yes, due to some particularly
nasty corner cases:

	data T = ! A :+ ! B          -- used to be fine, hard to parse
	data T = ! A :+ ! B => MkT   -- bad

However, now the answer is No, as this corner case is gone:

	data T = ! A :+ ! B          -- bad
	data T = ! A :+ ! B => MkT   -- bad

This means we can write a proper grammar for types, overloading it in
the DisambECP style, see Note [Ambiguous syntactic categories].

With this patch, we introduce a new class, DisambTD. Just like
DisambECP is used to disambiguate between expressions, commands, and patterns,
DisambTD  is used to disambiguate between types and data/newtype constructors.

This way, we get a proper, declarative grammar for constructors and
types:

	infixtype
	  : ftype
	  | ftype tyop infixtype
	  | unpackedness infixtype

	ftype
	  : atype
	  | tyop
	  | ftype tyarg
	  | ftype PREFIX_AT tyarg

	tyarg
	  : atype
	  | unpackedness atype

And having a grammar for types means we are a step closer to using a
single grammar for types and expressions.

Clean up the story around runPV/runECP_P/runECP_PV

This patch started as small documentation change, an attempt to make
Note [Parser-Validator] and Note [Ambiguous syntactic categories]
more clear and up-to-date.

But it turned out that runECP_P/runECP_PV are weakly motivated,
and it's easier to remove them than to find a good rationale/explanation
for their existence.

As the result, we have a bit of refactoring in addition to
documentation update.
