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
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/LinearTypes/Implementation
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

Relax allocation threshold for T12150.

This test performs little work, so the most minor allocation
changes often cause the test to fail.

Increasing the threshold to 2% should help with this.

Fix uninitialized field read in Linker.c

Valgrind report of the bug when running the test `linker_unload`:

    ==29666== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
    ==29666==    at 0x369C5B4: setOcInitialStatus (Linker.c:1305)
    ==29666==    by 0x369C6C5: mkOc (Linker.c:1347)

    ==29666==    by 0x36C0600: loadArchive (LoadArchive.c:626)
    ==29666==    by 0x2C144CD: ??? (in /home/omer/haskell/ghc_2/testsuite/tests/rts/linker/linker_unload.run/linker_unload)
    ==29666==
    ==29666== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
    ==29666==    at 0x369C5B4: setOcInitialStatus (Linker.c:1305)
    ==29666==    by 0x369C6C5: mkOc (Linker.c:1347)
    ==29666==    by 0x369C9F6: preloadObjectFile (Linker.c:1507)
    ==29666==    by 0x369CA8D: loadObj_ (Linker.c:1536)
    ==29666==    by 0x369CB17: loadObj (Linker.c:1557)
    ==29666==    by 0x3866BC: main (linker_unload.c:33)

The problem is `mkOc` allocates a new `ObjectCode` and calls
`setOcInitialStatus` without initializing the `status` field.
`setOcInitialStatus` reads the field as first thing:

    static void setOcInitialStatus(ObjectCode* oc) {
        if (oc->status == OBJECT_DONT_RESOLVE)
          return;

        if (oc->archiveMemberName == NULL) {
            oc->status = OBJECT_NEEDED;
        } else {
            oc->status = OBJECT_LOADED;
        }
    }

`setOcInitialStatus` is unsed in two places for two different purposes:
in `mkOc` where we don't have the `status` field initialized yet (`mkOc`
is supposed to initialize it), and `loadOc` where we do have `status`
field initialized and we want to update it. Instead of splitting the
function into two functions which are both called just once I inline the
functions in the use sites and remove it.

Fixes #18342

tablesNextToCode is a platform setting and doesn't belong into DynFlags

settings.

Revamp the treatment of auxiliary bindings for derived instances

This started as a simple fix for #18321 that organically grew into a
much more sweeping refactor of how auxiliary bindings for derived
instances are handled. I have rewritten `Note [Auxiliary binders]`
in `GHC.Tc.Deriv.Generate` to explain all of the moving parts, but
the highlights are:

* Previously, the OccName of each auxiliary binding would be given
  a suffix containing a hash of its package name, module name, and
  parent data type to avoid name clashes. This was needlessly
  complicated, so we take the more direct approach of generating
  `Exact` `RdrName`s for each auxiliary binding with the same
  `OccName`, but using an underlying `System` `Name` with a fresh
  `Unique` for each binding. Unlike hashes, allocating new `Unique`s
  does not require any cleverness and avoid name clashes all the
  same...
* ...speaking of which, in order to convince the renamer that multiple
  auxiliary bindings with the same `OccName` (but different
  `Unique`s) are kosher, we now use `rnLocalValBindsLHS` instead of
  `rnTopBindsLHS` to rename auxiliary bindings. Again, see
  `Note [Auxiliary binders]` for the full story.
* I have removed the `DerivHsBind` constructor for
  `DerivStuff`—which was only used for `Data.Data`-related
  auxiliary bindings—and refactored `gen_Data_binds` to use
  `DerivAuxBind` instead. This brings the treatment of
  `Data.Data`-related auxiliary bindings in line with every other
  form of auxiliary binding.

Fixes #18321.
