Remove duplicate Note [When to print foralls] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Ppr

There are two different Notes named `[When to print foralls]`. The
most up-to-date one is in `GHC.Iface.Type`, but there is a second
one in `GHC.Core.TyCo.Ppr`. The latter is less up-to-date, as it was
written before GHC switched over to using ifaces to pretty-print
types. I decided to just remove the latter and replace it with a
reference to the former.

Explicit Specificity

Implementation for Ticket #16393.
Explicit specificity allows users to manually create inferred type variables,
by marking them with braces.
This way, the user determines which variables can be instantiated through
visible type application.

The additional syntax is included in the parser, allowing users to write
braces in type variable binders (type signatures, data constructors etc).
This information is passed along through the renamer and verified in the
type checker.
The AST for type variable binders, data constructors, pattern synonyms,
partial signatures and Template Haskell has been updated to include the
specificity of type variables.

Minor notes:
- Bumps haddock submodule
- Disables pattern match checking in GHC.Iface.Type with GHC 8.8

Lint should say when it is checking a rule

It is rather confusing that when lint finds an error in a rule attached
to a binder, it reports the error as in the RHS, not the rule:
  ...
  In the RHS of foo

We add a clarifying line:
  ...
  In the RHS of foo
  In a rule attached to foo

The implication that the rule lives inside the RHS is a bit odd, but
this niggle is already present for unfoldings, whose pattern we are
following.

Refactor linear reg alloc to remember past assignments.

When assigning registers we now first try registers we
assigned to in the past, instead of picking the "first"
one.

This is in extremely helpful when dealing with loops for
which variables are dead for part of the loop.

This is important for patterns like this:

        foo = arg1
    loop:
        use(foo)
        ...
        foo = getVal()
        goto loop;

There we:
* assign foo to the register of arg1.
* use foo, it's dead after this use as it's overwritten after.
* do other things.
* look for a register to put foo in.

If we pick an arbitrary one it might differ from the register the
start of the loop expect's foo to be in.
To fix this we simply look for past register assignments for
the given variable. If we find one and the register is free we
use that register.

This reduces the need for fixup blocks which match the register
assignment between blocks. In the example above between the end
and the head of the loop.

This patch also moves branch weight estimation ahead of register
allocation and adds a flag to control it (cmm-static-pred).
* It means the linear allocator is more likely to assign the hotter
  code paths first.
* If it assign these first we are:
  + Less likely to spill on the hot path.
  + Less likely to introduce fixup blocks on the hot path.

These two measure combined are surprisingly effective. Based on nofib
we get in the mean:

* -0.9% instructions executed
* -0.1% reads/writes
* -0.2% code size.
* -0.1% compiler allocations.
* -0.9% compile time.
* -0.8% runtime.

Most of the benefits are simply a result of removing redundant moves
and spills.

Reduced compiler allocations likely are the result of less code being
generated. (The added lookup is mostly non-allocating).

NCG: Codelayout: Distinguish conditional and other branches.

In #18053 we ended up with a suboptimal code layout because
the code layout algorithm didn't distinguish between conditional
and unconditional control flow.

We can completely eliminate unconditional control flow instructions
by placing blocks next to each other, not so much for conditionals.

In terms of implementation we simply give conditional branches less
weight before computing the layout.

Fixes #18053

Allow spaces in GHCi :script file names

This patch updates the user interface of GHCi so that file names passed
to the ':script' command may contain spaces escaped with a backslash.

For example:

  :script foo\ bar.script

The implementation uses a modified version of 'words' that does not
break on escaped spaces.

Fixes #18027.

Add extra tests for GHCi :script syntax checks

The syntax for GHCi's ":script" command allows for only a single file
name to be passed as an argument. This patch adds a test for the cases
in which a file name is missing or multiple file names are passed.

Related to #T18027.

Allow GHCi :script file names in double quotes

This patch updates the user interface of GHCi so that file names passed
to the ':script' command can be wrapped in double quotes.

For example:

  :script "foo bar.script"

The implementation uses a modified version of 'words' that treats
character sequences enclosed in double quotes as single words.

Fixes #18027.

such file names can be passed.

the interface file so we can do list fusion at usage sites.

Make `Int`'s `mod` and `rem` strict in their first arguments

They used to be strict until 4d2ac2d (9 years ago).

It's obviously better to be strict for performance reasons.
It also blocks #18067.

NoFib results:

```
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Program         Allocs    Instrs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        integer          -1.1%     +0.4%
   wheel-sieve2         +21.2%    +20.7%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Min          -1.1%     -0.0%
            Max         +21.2%    +20.7%
 Geometric Mean          +0.2%     +0.2%
```

The regression in `wheel-sieve2` is due to reboxing that likely will go
away with the resolution of #18067. See !3282 for details.

Fixes #18187.

Fix wording in primops documentation to reflect the correct reasoning:

* Besides resizing functions, shrinking ones also mutate the
  size of a mutable array and because of those two `sizeofMutabeByteArray`
  and `sizeofSmallMutableArray` are now deprecated
* Change reference in documentation to the newer functions `getSizeof*`
  instead of `sizeof*` for shrinking functions
* Fix incorrect mention of "byte" instead of "small"

Don't variable-length encode magic iface constant.

We changed to use variable length encodings for many types by default,
including Word32. This makes sense for numbers but not when Word32 is
meant to represent four bytes.

I added a FixedLengthEncoding newtype to Binary who's instances
interpret their argument as a collection of bytes instead of a number.

We then use this when writing/reading magic numbers to the iface file.

I also took the libery to remove the dummy iface field.

This fixes #18180.

Implement cstringLength# and FinalPtr

This function and its accompanying rule resolve issue #5218.
A future PR to the bytestring library will make the internal
Data.ByteString.Internal.unsafePackAddress compute string length
with cstringLength#. This will improve the status quo because it is
eligible for constant folding.

Additionally, introduce a new data constructor to ForeignPtrContents
named FinalPtr. This additional data constructor, when used in the
IsString instance for ByteString, leads to more Core-to-Core
optimization opportunities, fewer runtime allocations, and smaller
binaries.

Also, this commit re-exports all the functions from GHC.CString
(including cstringLength#) in GHC.Exts. It also adds a new test
driver. This test driver is used to perform substring matches on Core
that is dumped after all the simplifier passes. In this commit, it is
used to check that constant folding of cstringLength# works.

simplCore: Ignore ticks in rule templates

This fixes #17619, where a tick snuck in to the template of a rule,
resulting in a panic during rule matching. The tick in question was
introduced via post-inlining, as discussed in `Note [Simplifying
rules]`. The solution we decided upon was to simply ignore ticks in the
rule template, as discussed in `Note [Tick annotations in RULE
matching]`.

Fixes #18162.

Fix #18145 and also avoid needless work with implicit vars

 - `forAllOrNothing` now is monadic, so we can trace whether we bind
   an explicit `forall` or not.

 - #18145 arose because the free vars calculation was needlessly
   complex. It is now greatly simplified.

 - Replaced some other implicit var code with `filterFreeVarsToBind`.
