configure: Use grep -q instead of --quiet

The latter is apparently not supported by busybox.

Linear types (#15981)

This is the first step towards implementation of the linear types proposal
(https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/111).

It features

* A language extension -XLinearTypes
* Syntax for linear functions in the surface language
* Linearity checking in Core Lint, enabled with -dlinear-core-lint
* Core-to-core passes are mostly compatible with linearity
* Fields in a data type can be linear or unrestricted; linear fields
  have multiplicity-polymorphic constructors.
  If -XLinearTypes is disabled, the GADT syntax defaults to linear fields

The following items are not yet supported:

* a # m -> b syntax (only prefix FUN is supported for now)
* Full multiplicity inference (multiplicities are really only checked)
* Decent linearity error messages
* Linear let, where, and case expressions in the surface language
  (each of these currently introduce the unrestricted variant)
* Multiplicity-parametric fields
* Syntax for annotating lambda-bound or let-bound with a multiplicity
* Syntax for non-linear/multiple-field-multiplicity records
* Linear projections for records with a single linear field
* Linear pattern synonyms
* Multiplicity coercions (test LinearPolyType)

A high-level description can be found at

Following the link above you will find a description of the changes made to Core.

Various performance improvements

This implements several general performance improvements to GHC,
to offset the effect of the linear types change.

General optimisations:
- Add a `coreFullView` function which iterates `coreView` on the
  head. This avoids making function recursive solely because the
  iterate `coreView` themselves. As a consequence, this functions can
  be inlined, and trigger case-of-known constructor (_e.g._
  `kindRep_maybe`, `isLiftedRuntimeRep`, `isMultiplicityTy`,
  `getTyVar_maybe`, `splitAppTy_maybe`, `splitFunType_maybe`,
  `tyConAppTyCon_maybe`). The common pattern about all these functions
  is that they are almost always used as views, and immediately
  consumed by a case expression. This commit also mark them asx `INLINE`.
- In `subst_ty` add a special case for nullary `TyConApp`, which avoid
  allocations altogether.
- Use `mkTyConApp` in `subst_ty` for the general `TyConApp`. This
  required quite a bit of module shuffling.
  case. `myTyConApp` enforces crucial sharing, which was lost during
  substitution. See also !2952 .
- Make `subst_ty` stricter.
- In `eqType` (specifically, in `nonDetCmpType`), add a special case,
  tested first, for the very common case of nullary `TyConApp`.
  `nonDetCmpType` has been made `INLINE` otherwise it is actually a
  regression. This is similar to the optimisations in !2952.

Linear-type specific optimisations:
- Use `tyConAppTyCon_maybe` instead of the more complex `eqType` in
  the definition of the pattern synonyms `One` and `Many`.
- Break the `hs-boot` cycles between `Multiplicity.hs` and `Type.hs`:
  `Multiplicity` now import `Type` normally, rather than from the
  `hs-boot`. This way `tyConAppTyCon_maybe` can inline properly in the
  `One` and `Many` pattern synonyms.
- Make `updateIdTypeAndMult` strict in its type and multiplicity
- The `scaleIdBy` gets a specialised definition rather than being an
  alias to `scaleVarBy`
- `splitFunTy_maybe` is given the type `Type -> Maybe (Mult, Type,
  Type)` instead of `Type -> Maybe (Scaled Type, Type)`
- Remove the `MultMul` pattern synonym in favour of a view `isMultMul`
  because pattern synonyms appear not to inline well.
- in `eqType`, in a `FunTy`, compare multiplicities last: they are
  almost always both `Many`, so it helps failing faster.
- Cache `manyDataConTy` in `mkTyConApp`, to make sure that all the
  instances of `TyConApp ManyDataConTy []` are physically the same.

Remove integer-simple

integer-simple uses lists of words (`[Word]`) to represent big numbers
instead of ByteArray#:

   * it is less efficient than the newer ghc-bignum native backend

   * it isn't compatible with the big number representation that is now
     shared by all the ghc-bignum backends (based on the one that was
     used only in integer-gmp before).

As a consequence, we simply drop integer-simple

ghc-bignum library

ghc-bignum is a newer package that aims to replace the legacy
integer-simple and integer-gmp packages.

* it supports several backends. In particular GMP is still supported and
  most of the code from integer-gmp has been merged in the "gmp"
  backend.

* the pure Haskell "native" backend is new and is much faster than the
  previous pure Haskell implementation provided by integer-simple

* new backends are easier to write because they only have to provide a
  few well defined functions. All the other code is common to all
  backends. In particular they all share the efficient small/big number
  distinction previously used only in integer-gmp.

* backends can all be tested against the "native" backend with a simple
  Cabal flag. Backends are only allowed to differ in performance, their
  results should be the same.

* Add `integer-gmp` compat package: provide some pattern synonyms and
  function aliases for those in `ghc-bignum`. It is intended to avoid
  breaking packages that depend on `integer-gmp` internals.

Update compiler

Thanks to ghc-bignum, the compiler can be simplified:

* Types and constructors of Integer and Natural can be wired-in. It
  means that we don't have to query them from interfaces. It also means
  that numeric literals don't have to carry their type with them.

* The same code is used whatever ghc-bignum backend is enabled. In
  particular, conversion of bignum literals into final Core expressions
  is now much more straightforward. Bignum closure inspection too.

* GHC itself doesn't depend on any integer-* package anymore

* The `integerLibrary` setting is gone.

Update `base` package

* GHC.Natural isn't implemented in `base` anymore. It is provided by
  ghc-bignum in GHC.Num.Natural. It means that we can safely use Natural
  primitives in `base` without fearing issues with built-in rewrite
  rules (cf #15286)

* `base` doesn't conditionally depend on an integer-* package anymore,
  it depends on ghc-bignum

* Some duplicated code in integer-* can now be factored in GHC.Float

* ghc-bignum tries to use a uniform naming convention so most of the
  other changes are renaming

Update testsuite

* support detection of slow ghc-bignum backend (to replace the detection
  of integer-simple use). There are still some test cases that the
  native backend doesn't handle efficiently enough.

* remove tests for GMP only functions that have been removed from
  ghc-bignum

* fix test results showing dependent packages (e.g. integer-gmp) or
  showing suggested instances

* fix test using Integer/Natural API or showing internal names

Update Hadrian

* support ghc-bignum backend selection in flavours and command-line

* support ghc-bignum "--check" flag (compare results of selected backend
  against results of the native one) in flavours and command-line (e.g.
  pass --bignum=check-gmp" to check the "gmp" backend)

* remove the hack to workaround #15286

* build GMP only when the gmp backend is used

* remove hacks to workaround `text` package flags about integer-*. We
  fix `text` to use ghc-bignum unconditionally in another patch

Two small teaks to Coercion.simplifyArgsWorker

These tweaks affect the inner loop of simplifyArgsWorker, which
in turn is called from the flattener in Flatten.hs.  This is
a key perf bottleneck to T9872{a,b,c,d}.

These two small changes have a modest but useful benefit.
No change in functionality whatsoever.

Relates to #18354
