Refactor hole constraints.

Previously, holes (both expression holes / out of scope variables and
partial-type-signature wildcards) were emitted as *constraints* via
the CHoleCan constructor. While this worked fine for error reporting,
there was a fair amount of faff in keeping these constraints in line.
In particular, and unlike other constraints, we could never change
a CHoleCan to become CNonCanonical. In addition:
 * the "predicate" of a CHoleCan constraint was really the type
   of the hole, which is not a predicate at all
 * type-level holes (partial type signature wildcards) carried
   evidence, which was never used
 * tcNormalise (used in the pattern-match checker) had to create
   a hole constraint just to extract it again; it was quite messy

The new approach is to record holes directly in WantedConstraints.
It flows much more nicely now.

Along the way, I did some cleaning up of commentary in
GHC.Tc.Errors.Hole, which I had a hard time understanding.

This was instigated by a future patch that will refactor
the way predicates are handled. The fact that CHoleCan's
"predicate" wasn't really a predicate is incompatible with
that future patch.

No test case, because this is meant to be purely internal.

It turns out that this change improves the performance of
the pattern-match checker, likely because fewer constraints
are sloshing about in tcNormalise. I have not investigated
deeply, but an improvement is not a surprise here:

rts: Zero block flags with -DZ

Block flags are very useful for determining the state of a block.
However, some block allocator users don't touch them, leading to
misleading values. Ensure that we zero then when zero-on-gc is set. This
is safe and makes the flags more useful during debugging.

nonmoving: Fix incorrect failed_to_evac value during deadlock gc

Previously we would incorrectly set the failed_to_evac flag if we
evacuated a value due to a deadlock GC. This would cause us to mark more
things as dirty than strictly necessary. It also turned up a nasty but
which I will fix next.

nonmoving: Fix handling of dirty objects

Previously we (incorrectly) relied on failed_to_evac to be "precise".
That is, we expected it to only be true if *all* of an object's fields
lived outside of the non-moving heap. However, does not match the
behavior of failed_to_evac, which is true if *any* of the object's
fields weren't promoted (meaning that some others *may* live in the
non-moving heap).

This is problematic as we skip the non-moving write barrier for dirty
objects (which we can only safely do if *all* fields point outside of
the non-moving heap).

Clearly this arises due to a fundamental difference in the behavior
expected of failed_to_evac in the moving and non-moving collector.
e.g., in the moving collector it is always safe to conservatively say
failed_to_evac=true whereas in the non-moving collector the safe value
is false.

This issue went unnoticed as I never wrote down the dirtiness
invariant enforced by the non-moving collector. We now define this
invariant as

    An object being marked as dirty implies that all of its fields are
    on the mark queue (or, equivalently, update remembered set).

To maintain this invariant we teach nonmovingScavengeOne to push the
fields of objects which we fail to evacuate to the update remembered
set. This is a simple and reasonably cheap solution and avoids the
complexity and fragility that other, more strict alternative invariants
would require.

All of this is described in a new Note, Note [Dirty flags in the
non-moving collector] in NonMoving.c.

Allow atomic update of NameCache in readHieFile

The situation arises in ghcide where multiple different threads may need to
update the name cache, therefore with the older interface it could happen
that you start reading a hie file with name cache A and produce name cache
A + B, but another thread in the meantime updated the namecache to A +
C. Therefore if you write the new namecache you will lose the A' updates
from the second thread.

Make isTauTy detect higher-rank contexts

Previously, `isTauTy` would only detect higher-rank `forall`s, not
higher-rank contexts, which led to some minor bugs observed
in #18127. Easily fixed by adding a case for
`(FunTy InvisArg _ _)`.

Fixes #18127.

ELF linker: increment curSymbol after filling in fields of current entry

The bug was introduced in a8b7cef4d45 which added a field to the
`symbols` array elements and then updated this code incorrectly:

    - oc->symbols[curSymbol++] = nm;
    + oc->symbols[curSymbol++].name = nm;

Refactoring: Use bindSigTyVarsFV in rnMethodBinds

`rnMethodBinds` was explicitly using `xoptM` to determine if
`ScopedTypeVariables` is enabled before bringing type variables
bound by the class/instance header into scope. However, this `xoptM`
logic is already performed by the `bindSigTyVarsFV` function. This
patch uses `bindSigTyVarsFV` in `rnMethodBinds` to reduce the number
of places where we need to consult if `ScopedTypeVariables` is on.

This is purely refactoring, and there should be no user-visible
change in behavior.

Bump exceptions submodule so that dist-boot is .gitignore'd

`exceptions` is a stage-0 boot library as of commit
30272412fa437ab8e7a8035db94a278e10513413, which means that building
`exceptions` in a GHC tree will generate a `dist-boot` directory.
However, this directory was not specified in `exceptions`'
`.gitignore` file, which causes it to dirty up the current `git`
working directory.

Accordingly, this bumps the `exceptions` submodule to commit
ghc/packages/exceptions at 23c0b8a50d7592af37ca09beeec16b93080df98f,
which adds `dist-boot` to the `.gitignore` file.

Pack some of IdInfo fields into a bit field

This reduces residency of compiler quite a bit on some programs.
Example stats when building T10370:

Before:

   2,871,242,832 bytes allocated in the heap
   4,693,328,008 bytes copied during GC
      33,941,448 bytes maximum residency (276 sample(s))
         375,976 bytes maximum slop
              83 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)

After:

   2,858,897,344 bytes allocated in the heap
   4,629,255,440 bytes copied during GC
      32,616,624 bytes maximum residency (278 sample(s))
         314,400 bytes maximum slop
              80 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)

So -3.9% residency, -1.3% bytes copied and -0.4% allocations.

Fixes #17497

CprAnal: Don't attach CPR sigs to expandable bindings (#18154)

Instead, look through expandable unfoldings in `cprTransform`.
See the new Note [CPR for expandable unfoldings]:

```
Long static data structures (whether top-level or not) like

  xs = x1 : xs1
  xs1 = x2 : xs2
  xs2 = x3 : xs3

should not get CPR signatures, because they

  * Never get WW'd, so their CPR signature should be irrelevant after analysis
    (in fact the signature might even be harmful for that reason)
  * Would need to be inlined/expanded to see their constructed product
  * Recording CPR on them blows up interface file sizes and is redundant with
    their unfolding. In case of Nested CPR, this blow-up can be quadratic!

But we can't just stop giving DataCon application bindings the CPR property,
for example

  fac 0 = 1
  fac n = n * fac (n-1)

fac certainly has the CPR property and should be WW'd! But FloatOut will
transform the first clause to

  lvl = 1
  fac 0 = lvl

If lvl doesn't have the CPR property, fac won't either. But lvl doesn't have a
CPR signature to extrapolate into a CPR transformer ('cprTransform'). So
instead we keep on cprAnal'ing through *expandable* unfoldings for these arity
0 bindings via 'cprExpandUnfolding_maybe'.

In practice, GHC generates a lot of (nested) TyCon and KindRep bindings, one
for each data declaration. It's wasteful to attach CPR signatures to each of
them (and intractable in case of Nested CPR).
```

Fixes #18154.

DmdAnal: Improve handling of precise exceptions

This patch does two things: Fix possible unsoundness in what was called
the "IO hack" and implement part 2.1 of the "fixing precise exceptions"
plan in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/fixing-precise-exceptions,
which, in combination with !2956, supersedes !3014 and !2525.

**IO hack**

The "IO hack" (which is a fallback to preserve precise exceptions
semantics and thus soundness, rather than some smart thing that
increases precision) is called `exprMayThrowPreciseException` now.
I came up with two testcases exemplifying possible unsoundness (if
twisted enough) in the old approach:

- `T13380d`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when resorting
             to manual state token threading and direct use of primops.
             More details below.
- `T13380e`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when we have
             Nested CPR. Not currently relevant, as we don't have Nested
             CPR yet.
- `T13380f`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" for safe FFI
             calls.

Basically, the IO hack assumed that precise exceptions can only be
thrown from a case scrutinee of type `(# State# RealWorld, _ #)`. I
couldn't come up with a program using the `IO` abstraction that violates
this assumption. But it's easy to do so via manual state token threading
and direct use of primops, see `T13380d`. Also similar code might be
generated by Nested CPR in the (hopefully not too) distant future, see
`T13380e`. Hence, we now have a more careful test in `forcesRealWorld`
that passes `T13380{d,e}` (and will hopefully be robust to Nested CPR).

**Precise exceptions**

In #13380 and #17676 we saw that we didn't preserve precise exception
semantics in demand analysis. We fixed that with minimal changes in
!2956, but that was terribly unprincipled.

That unprincipledness resulted in a loss of precision, which is tracked
by these new test cases:

- `T13380b`: Regression in dead code elimination, because !2956 was too
             syntactic about `raiseIO#`
- `T13380c`: No need to apply the "IO hack" when the IO action may not
             throw a precise exception (and the existing IO hack doesn't
             detect that)

Fixing both issues in !3014 turned out to be too complicated and had
the potential to regress in the future. Hence we decided to only fix
`T13380b` and augment the `Divergence` lattice with a new middle-layer
element, `ExnOrDiv`, which means either `Diverges` (, throws an
imprecise exception) or throws a *precise* exception.

See the wiki page on Step 2.1 for more implementational details:
