Disable DLL loading if without system linker

Some platforms (musl, aarch64) do not have a working dynamic linker
implemented in the libc, even though we might see dlopen.  It will
ultimately just return that this is not supported.  Hence we'll add
a flag to the compiler to flat our disable loading dlls.  This is
needed as we will otherwise try to load the shared library even
if this will subsequently fail.  At that point we have given up
looking for static options though.

Cmm: introduce SAVE_REGS/RESTORE_REGS

We don't want to save both Fn and Dn register sets on x86-64 as they are
aliased to the same arch register (XMMn).

Moreover, when SAVE_STGREGS was used in conjunction with `jump foo [*]`
which makes a set of Cmm registers alive so that they cover all arch
registers used to pass parameter, we could have Fn, Dn and XMMn alive at
the same time. It made the LLVM code generator choke (see #17920).

Now `SAVE_REGS/RESTORE_REGS` and `jump foo [*]` use the same set of
registers.

CmmToC: don't add extern decl to parsed Cmm data

Previously, if a .cmm file *not in the RTS* contained something like:

```cmm
section "rodata" { msg : bits8[] "Test\n"; }
```

It would get compiled by CmmToC into:

```c
ERW_(msg);
const char msg[] = "Test\012";
```

and fail with:

```
/tmp/ghc32129_0/ghc_4.hc:5:12: error:
     error: conflicting types for \u2018msg\u2019
     const char msg[] = "Test\012";
                ^~~

In file included from /tmp/ghc32129_0/ghc_4.hc:3:0: error:

/tmp/ghc32129_0/ghc_4.hc:4:6: error:
     note: previous declaration of \u2018msg\u2019 was here
     ERW_(msg);
          ^

/builds/hsyl20/ghc/_build/install/lib/ghc-8.11.0.20200605/lib/../lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.11.0.20200605/rts-1.0/include/Stg.h:253:46: error:
     note: in definition of macro \u2018ERW_\u2019
     #define ERW_(X)   extern       StgWordArray (X)
                                                  ^
```

See the rationale for this on https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/compiler/backends/ppr-c#prototypes

Now we don't generate these extern declarations (ERW_, etc.) for
top-level data. It shouldn't change anything for the RTS (the only place
we use .cmm files) as it is already special cased in
`GHC.Cmm.CLabel.needsCDecl`. And hand-written Cmm can use explicit
extern declarations when needed.

Note that it allows `cgrun069` test to pass with CmmToC (cf #15467).

Fix GhcThreaded setting

This adopts a patch from NetBSD's packaging fixing the `GhcThreaded`
option of the make build system. In addition we introduce a `ghcThreaded`
option in hadrian's `Flavour` type.

Also fix Hadrian's treatment of the `Use Threaded` entry in `settings`.
Previously it would incorrectly claim `Use Threaded = True` if we were
building the `threaded` runtime way. However, this is inconsistent with
the `make` build system, which defines it to be whether the `ghc`
executable is linked against the threaded runtime.

Fixes #17692.

Wrap an implication around class-sig kind errors

Ticket #17841 showed that we can get a kind error
in a class signature, but lack an enclosing implication
that binds its skolems.

This patch

* Adds the wrapping implication: the new call to
  checkTvConstraints in tcClassDecl1

* Simplifies the API to checkTvConstraints, which
  was not otherwise called at all.

* Simplifies TcErrors.report_unsolved by *not*
  initialising the TidyEnv from the typechecker lexical
  envt.  It's enough to do so from the free vars of the
  unsolved constraints; and we get silly renamings if
  we add variables twice: once from the lexical scope
  and once from the implication constraint.

Refactoring in TcSMonad

This patch is just refactoring: no change in
behaviour.

I removed the rather complicated
    checkConstraintsTcS
    checkTvConstraintsTcS

in favour of simpler functions
    emitImplicationTcS
    emitTvImplicationTcS
    pushLevelNoWorkList

The last of these is a little strange, but overall
it's much better I think.

Major improvements to the specialiser

This patch is joint work of Alexis King and Simon PJ.  It does some
significant refactoring of the type-class specialiser.  Main highlights:

* We can specialise functions with types like
     f :: Eq a => a -> Ord b => b => blah
  where the classes aren't all at the front (#16473).  Here we can
  correctly specialise 'f' based on a call like
     f @Int @Bool dEqInt x dOrdBool
  This change really happened in an earlier patch
     commit 2d0cf6252957b8980d89481ecd0b79891da4b14b
     Author: Sandy Maguire <sandy at sandymaguire.me>
     Date:   Thu May 16 12:12:10 2019 -0400
  work that this new patch builds directly on that work, and refactors
  it a bit.

* We can specialise functions with implicit parameters (#17930)
     g :: (?foo :: Bool, Show a) => a -> String
  Previously we could not, but now they behave just like a non-class
  argument as in 'f' above.

* We can specialise under-saturated calls, where some (but not all of
  the dictionary arguments are provided (#17966).  For example, we can
  specialise the above 'f' based on a call
     map (f @Int dEqInt) xs
  even though we don't (and can't) give Ord dictionary.

  This may sound exotic, but #17966 is a program from the wild, and
  showed significant perf loss for functions like f, if you need
  saturation of all dictionaries.

* We fix a buglet in which a floated dictionary had a bogus demand
  (#17810), by using zapIdDemandInfo in the NonRec case of specBind.

* A tiny side benefit: we can drop dead arguments to specialised
  functions; see Note [Drop dead args from specialisations]

* Fixed a bug in deciding what dictionaries are "interesting"; see
  Note [Keep the old dictionaries interesting]

This is all achieved by by building on Sandy Macguire's work in
defining SpecArg, which mkCallUDs uses to describe the arguments of
the call. Main changes:

* Main work is in specHeader, which marched down the [InBndr] from the
  function definition and the [SpecArg] from the call site, together.

* specCalls no longer has an arity check; the entire mechanism now
  handles unders-saturated calls fine.

* mkCallUDs decides on an argument-by-argument basis whether to
  specialise a particular dictionary argument; this is new.
  See mk_spec_arg in mkCallUDs.

It looks as if there are many more lines of code, but I think that
all the extra lines are comments!

[linker] Fix out of range relocations.

mmap may return address all over the place. mmap_next will ensure we get
the next free page after the requested address.

This is especially important for linking on aarch64, where the memory model with PIC
admits relocations in the +-4GB range, and as such we can't work with
arbitrary object locations in memory.

Of note: we map the rts into process space, so any mapped objects must
not be ouside of the 4GB from the processes address space.
