[Sized Cmm] properly retain sizes.

This replaces all Word<N> = W<N># Word# and Int<N> = I<N># Int#  with
Word<N> = W<N># Word<N># and Int<N> = I<N># Int<N>#, thus providing us
with properly sized primitives in the codegenerator instead of pretending
they are all full machine words.

This came up when implementing darwinpcs for arm64.  The darwinpcs reqires
us to pack function argugments in excess of registers on the stack.  While
most procedure call standards (pcs) assume arguments are just passed in
8 byte slots; and thus the caller does not know the exact signature to make
the call, darwinpcs requires us to adhere to the prototype, and thus have
the correct sizes.  If we specify CInt in the FFI call, it should correspond
to the C int, and not just be Word sized, when it's only half the size.

This does change the expected output of T16402 but the new result is no
less correct as it eliminates the narrowing (instead of the `and` as was
previously done).

Bumps the array, bytestring, text, and binary submodules.

RTS: Fix failed inlining of copy_tag.

On windows using gcc-10 gcc failed to inline copy_tag into evacuate.

To fix this we now set the always_inline attribute for the various
copy* functions in Evac.c. The main motivation here is not the
overhead of the function call, but rather that this allows the code
to "specialize" for the size of the closure we copy which is often
known at compile time.

An earlier commit also tried to avoid evacuate_large inlining. But
didn't quite succeed. So I also marked evacuate_large as noinline.

Fixes #12416

Fix toArgRep to support 64-bit reps on all systems

[This is @Ericson2314 writing a commit message for @hsyl20's patch.]

(Progress towards #11953, #17377, #17375)

`Int64Rep` and `Word64Rep` are currently broken on 64-bit systems.  This
is because they should use "native arg rep" but instead use "large arg
rep" as they do on 32-bit systems, which is either a non-concept or a
128-bit rep depending on one's vantage point.

Now, these reps currently aren't used during 64-bit compilation, so the
brokenness isn't observed, but I don't think that constitutes reasons
not to fix it. Firstly, the linked issues there is a clearly expressed
desire to use explicit-bitwidth constructs in more places. Secondly, per
[1], there are other bugs that *do* manifest from not threading
explicit-bitwidth information all the way through the compilation
pipeline. One can therefore view this as one piece of the larger effort
to do that, improve ergnomics, and squash remaining bugs.

Also, this is needed for !3658. I could just merge this as part of that,
but I'm keen on merging fixes "as they are ready" so the fixes that
aren't ready are isolated and easier to debug.

Remove special case for GHC.ByteCode.Instr

This was added in
https://github.com/nomeata/ghc-heap-view/commit/34935206e51b9c86902481d84d2f368a6fd93423

GHC.ByteCode.Instr.BreakInfo no longer exists so the special case is dead code.

Any check like this can be easily dealt with in client code.

Split Up getClosureDataFromHeapRep

Motivation

1. Don't enforce the repeated decoding of an info table, when the client
can cache it (ghc-debug)
2. Allow the constructor information decoding to be overridden, this
casues segfaults in ghc-debug

rts: Allocate MBlocks with MAP_TOP_DOWN on Windows

As noted in #18991, we would previously allocate heap in low memory.
Due to this the linker, which typically *needs* low memory, would end up
competing with the heap. In longer builds we end up running out of
low memory entirely, leading to linking failures.

Small optimization to CmmSink.

Inside `regsUsedIn` we can avoid some thunks by specializing the
recursion. In particular we avoid the thunk for `(f e z)` in the
MachOp/Load branches, where we know this will evaluate to z.

Reduces allocations for T3294 by ~1%.

difference since this will allow us to determine how much work is done

ThreadPaused: Don't zero slop until free vars are pushed

When threadPaused blackholes a thunk it calls `OVERWRITING_CLOSURE` to
zero the slop for the benefit of the sanity checker. Previously this was
done *before* pushing the thunk's free variables to the update
remembered set. Consequently we would pull zero'd pointers to the update
remembered set.

rts/m32: Refactor handling of allocator seeding

Previously, in an attempt to reduce fragmentation, each new allocator
would map a region of M32_MAX_PAGES fresh pages to seed itself. However,
this ends up being extremely wasteful since it turns out that we often
use fewer than this.  Consequently, these pages end up getting freed
which, ends up fragmenting our address space more than than we would
have if we had naively allocated pages on-demand.

Here we refactor m32 to avoid this waste while achieving the
fragmentation mitigation previously desired. In particular, we move all
page allocation into the global m32_alloc_page, which will pull a page
from the free page pool. If the free page pool is empty we then refill
it by allocating a region of M32_MAP_PAGES and adding them to the pool.

Furthermore, we do away with the initial seeding entirely. That is, the
allocator starts with no active pages: pages are rather allocated on an
as-needed basis.

On the whole this ends up being a pleasingly simple change,
simultaneously making m32 more efficient, more robust, and simpler.

Fixes #18980.

to use CHECK.

Remove flattening variables

This patch redesigns the flattener to simplify type family applications
directly instead of using flattening meta-variables and skolems. The key new
innovation is the CanEqLHS type and the new CEqCan constraint (Ct). A CanEqLHS
is either a type variable or exactly-saturated type family application; either
can now be rewritten using a CEqCan constraint in the inert set.

Because the flattener no longer reduces all type family applications to
variables, there was some performance degradation if a lengthy type family
application is now flattened over and over (not making progress). To
compensate, this patch contains some extra optimizations in the flattener,
leading to a number of performance improvements.

Close #18875.
Close #18910.

There are many extra parts of the compiler that had to be affected in writing
this patch:

* The family-application cache (formerly the flat-cache) sometimes stores
  coercions built from Given inerts. When these inerts get kicked out, we must
  kick out from the cache as well. (This was, I believe, true previously, but
  somehow never caused trouble.) Kicking out from the cache requires adding a
  filterTM function to TrieMap.

* This patch obviates the need to distinguish "blocking" coercion holes from
  non-blocking ones (which, previously, arose from CFunEqCans). There is thus
  some simplification around coercion holes.

* Extra commentary throughout parts of the code I read through, to preserve
  the knowledge I gained while working.

* A change in the pure unifier around unifying skolems with other types.
  Unifying a skolem now leads to SurelyApart, not MaybeApart, as documented
  in Note [Binding when looking up instances] in GHC.Core.InstEnv.

* Some more use of MCoercion where appropriate.

* Previously, class-instance lookup automatically noticed that e.g. C Int was
  a "unifier" to a target [W] C (F Bool), because the F Bool was flattened to
  a variable. Now, a little more care must be taken around checking for
  unifying instances.

* Previously, tcSplitTyConApp_maybe would split (Eq a => a). This is silly,
  because (=>) is not a tycon in Haskell. Fixed now, but there are some
  knock-on changes in e.g. TrieMap code and in the canonicaliser.

* New function anyFreeVarsOf{Type,Co} to check whether a free variable
  satisfies a certain predicate.

* Type synonyms now remember whether or not they are "forgetful"; a forgetful
  synonym drops at least one argument. This is useful when flattening; see
  flattenView.

* The pattern-match completeness checker invokes the solver. This invocation
  might need to look through newtypes when checking representational equality.
  Thus, the desugarer needs to keep track of the in-scope variables to know
  what newtype constructors are in scope. I bet this bug was around before but
  never noticed.

* Extra-constraints wildcards are no longer simplified before printing.
  See Note [Do not simplify ConstraintHoles] in GHC.Tc.Solver.

* Whether or not there are Given equalities has become slightly subtler.
  See the new HasGivenEqs datatype.

* Note [Type variable cycles in Givens] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical
  explains a significant new wrinkle in the new approach.

* See Note [What might match later?] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact, which
  explains the fix to #18910.

* The inert_count field of InertCans wasn't actually used, so I removed
  it.

Though I (Richard) did the implementation, Simon PJ was very involved
in design and review.

This updates the Haddock submodule to avoid #18932 by adding
a type signature.

Rename the flattener to become the rewriter.

Now that flattening doesn't produce flattening variables,
it's not really flattening anything: it's rewriting. This
change also means that the rewriter can no longer be confused
the core flattener (in GHC.Core.Unify), which is sometimes used
during type-checking.

Fix kind inference for data types. Again.

This patch fixes several aspects of kind inference for data type
declarations, especially data /instance/ declarations

Specifically

1. In kcConDecls/kcConDecl make it clear that the tc_res_kind argument
   is only used in the H98 case; and in that case there is no result
   kind signature; and hence no need for the disgusting splitPiTys in
   kcConDecls (now thankfully gone).

   The GADT case is a bit different to before, and much nicer.
   This is what fixes #18891.

   See Note [kcConDecls: kind-checking data type decls]

2. Do not look at the constructor decls of a data/newtype instance
   in tcDataFamInstanceHeader. See GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance
   Note [Kind inference for data family instances].  This was a
   new realisation that arose when doing (1)

   This causes a few knock-on effects in the tests suite, because
   we require more information than before in the instance /header/.

   New user-manual material about this in "Kind inference in data type
   declarations" and "Kind inference for data/newtype instance
   declarations".

3. Minor improvement in kcTyClDecl, combining GADT and H98 cases

4. Fix #14111 and #8707 by allowing the header of a data instance
   to affect kind inferece for the the data constructor signatures;
   as described at length in Note [GADT return types] in GHC.Tc.TyCl

   This led to a modest refactoring of the arguments (and argument
   order) of tcConDecl/tcConDecls.

5. Fix #19000 by inverting the sense of the test in new_locs
   in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical.canDecomposableTyConAppOK.

CodeGen: Make folds User/DefinerOfRegs INLINEABLE.

Reduces allocation for the test case I was looking at by about 1.2%.
Mostly from avoiding allocation of some folding functions which turn
into let-no-escape bindings which just reuse their environment instead.

We also force inlining in a few key places in CmmSink which helps a bit
more.

Cmm.Sink: Optimize retaining of assignments, live sets.

Sinking requires us to track live local regs after each
cmm statement. We used to do this via "Set LocalReg".

However we can replace this with a solution based on IntSet
which is overall more efficient without losing much. The thing
we lose is width of the variables, which isn't used by the sinking
pass anyway.

I also reworked how we keep assignments to regs mentioned in
skipped assignments. I put the details into
Note [Keeping assignemnts mentioned in skipped RHSs].

The gist of it is instead of keeping track of it via the use count
which is a `IntMap Int` we now use the live regs set (IntSet) which
is quite a bit faster.

I think it also matches the semantics a lot better. The skipped
(not discarded) assignment does in fact keep the regs on it's rhs
alive so keeping track of this in the live set seems like the clearer
solution as well.

GHC.Cmm.Opt: Be stricter in results.

Optimization either returns Nothing if nothing is to be done or
`Just <cmmExpr>` otherwise. There is no point in being lazy in
`cmmExpr`. We usually inspect this element so the thunk gets forced
not long after.

We might eliminate it as dead code once in a blue moon but that's
not a case worth optimizing for.

Overall the impact of this is rather low. As Cmm.Opt doesn't allocate
much (compared to the rest of GHC) to begin with.

This Note has severely bitrotted, as it has no references anywhere in the

`checkFamPatBinders` of a similar caliber.

Arrows: correctly query arrow methods (#17423)

Consider the following code:

    proc (C x y) -> ...

Before this patch, the evidence binding for the Arrow dictionary was
attached to the C pattern:

    proc (C x y) { $dArrow = ... } -> ...

But then when we desugar this, we use arrow operations ("arr", ">>>"...)
specialised for this arrow:

    let
        arr_xy = arr $dArrow -- <-- Not in scope!
        ...
    in
        arr_xy (\(C x y) { $dArrow = ... } -> ...)

This patch allows arrow operations to be type-checked before the proc
itself, avoiding this issue.

Fix #17423

DmdAnal: Annotate top-level function bindings with demands (#18894)

It's useful to annotate a non-exported top-level function like `g` in

```hs
module Lib (h) where

g :: Int -> Int -> (Int,Int)
g m 1 = (m, 0)
g m n = (2 * m, 2 `div` n)
{-# NOINLINE g #-}

h :: Int -> Int
h 1 = 0
h m
  | odd m     = snd (g m 2)
  | otherwise = uncurry (+) (g 2 m)
```

with its demand `UCU(CS(P(1P(U),SP(U))`, which tells us that whenever `g` was
called, the second component of the returned pair was evaluated strictly.

Since #18903 we do so for local functions, where we can see all calls.
For top-level functions, we can assume that all *exported* functions are
demanded according to `topDmd` and thus get sound demands for
non-exported top-level functions.

The demand on `g` is crucial information for Nested CPR, which may the
go on and unbox `g` for the second pair component. That is true even if
that pair component may diverge, as is the case for the call site `g 13
0`, which throws a div-by-zero exception.

In `T18894b`, you can even see the new demand annotation enabling us to
eta-expand a function that we wouldn't be able to eta-expand without
Call Arity.

We only track bindings of function type in order not to risk huge compile-time
regressions, see `isInterestingTopLevelFn`.

There was a CoreLint check that rejected strict demand annotations on
recursive or top-level bindings, which seems completely unjustified.
All the cases I investigated were fine, so I removed it.

Fixes #18894.

Demand: Simplify `CU(U)` to `U` (#19005)

Both sub-demands encode the same information.
This is a trivial change and already affects a few regression tests
(e.g. `T5075`), so no separate regression test is necessary.

Quick Look: zonk result type

Provoked by #18987, this patch adds a missing zonkQuickLook of
app_res_rho in tcApp.

Most of the time this zonk is unnecesary. In fact, I can't think of a
concrete case where it is needed -- hence no test.  But even if it
isn't necessary, the reasoning that allows it to be omitted is very
subtle. So I've put it in.

However, adding this zonk does /not/ affect the emitted constraints,
so the reported symptoms for #18987 remain, but harmlessly so, and now
documented in a new Note [Instantiation variables are short lived]
in GHC.Tc.Gen.App.

No change in behaviour, no tests.
