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`.

Add orderingTyCon to wiredInTyCons (#18185)

`Ordering` needs to be wired in for use in the built-in `CmpNat` and
`CmpSymbol` type families, but somehow it was never added to the list
of `wiredInTyCons`, leading to the various oddities observed
in #18185. Easily fixed by moving `orderingTyCon` from
`basicKnownKeyNames` to `wiredInTyCons`.

Fixes #18185.

Revert "Specify kind variables for inferred kinds in base."

As noted in !3132, this has rather severe knock-on consequences in
user-code. We'll need to revisit this before merging something along
these lines.

This reverts commit 9749fe1223d182b1f8e7e4f7378df661c509f396.

Coverage: Drop redundant ad-hoc boot module check

To determine whether the module is a boot module
Coverage.addTicksToBinds was checking for a `boot` suffix in the module
source filename. This is quite ad-hoc and shouldn't be necessary; the
callsite in `deSugar` already checks that the module isn't a boot
module.

Add info about typeclass evidence to .hie files

See `testsuite/tests/hiefile/should_run/HieQueries.hs` and
`testsuite/tests/hiefile/should_run/HieQueries.stdout` for an example of this

We add two new fields, `EvidenceVarBind` and `EvidenceVarUse` to the
`ContextInfo` associated with an Identifier. These are associated with the
appropriate identifiers for the evidence variables collected when we come across
`HsWrappers`, `TcEvBinds` and `IPBinds` while traversing the AST.

Instance dictionary and superclass selector dictionaries from `tcg_insts` and
classes defined in `tcg_tcs` are also recorded in the AST as originating from
their definition span

This allows us to save a complete picture of the evidence constructed by the
constraint solver, and will let us report this to the user, enabling features
like going to the instance definition from the invocation of a class method(or
any other method taking a constraint) and finding all usages of a particular
instance.

Additionally,

- Mark NodeInfo with an origin so we can differentiate between bindings
  origininating in the source vs those in ghc
- Along with typeclass evidence info, also include information on Implicit
  Parameters
- Add a few utility functions to HieUtils in order to query the new info

Make WorkWrap.Lib.isWorkerSmallEnough aware of the old arity

We should allow a wrapper with up to 82 parameters when the original
function had 82 parameters to begin with.

I verified that this made no difference on NoFib, but then again
it doesn't use huge records...

Fixes #18122.

eventlog: Fix racy flushing

Previously no attempt was made to avoid multiple threads writing their
capability-local eventlog buffers to the eventlog writer simultaneously.
This could result in multiple eventlog streams being interleaved. Fix
this by documenting that the EventLogWriter's write() and flush()
functions may be called reentrantly and fix the default writer to
protect its FILE* by a mutex.

Fixes #18210.

Optimisation in Unique.Supply

This patch switches on -fno-state-hack in GHC.Types.Unique.Supply.

It turned out that my fixes for #18078 (coercion floating) changed the
optimisation pathway for mkSplitUniqSupply in such a way that we had
an extra allocation inside the inner loop.  Adding -fno-state-hack
fixed that -- and indeed the loop in mkSplitUniqSupply is a classic
example of the way in which -fno-state-hack can be bad; see #18238.

Moreover, the new code is better than the old.  They allocate
the same, but the old code ends up with a partial application.
The net effect is that the test
    perf/should_run/UniqLoop
runs 20% faster!   From 2.5s down to 2.0s.  The allocation numbers
are the same -- but elapsed time falls. Good!

The bad thing about this is that it's terribly delicate.  But
at least it's a good example of such delicacy in action.

There is a long Note [Optimising the unique supply] which now
explains all this.

Implement cast worker/wrapper properly

The cast worker/wrapper transformation transforms
   x = e |> co
into
   y = e
   x = y |> co

This is done by the simplifier, but we were being
careless about transferring IdInfo from x to y,
and about what to do if x is a NOINLNE function.
This resulted in a series of bugs:
     #17673, #18093, #18078.

This patch fixes all that:

* Main change is in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify, and
  the new prepareBinding function, which does this
  cast worker/wrapper transform.
  See Note [Cast worker/wrappers].

* There is quite a bit of refactoring around
  prepareRhs, makeTrivial etc.  It's nicer now.

* Some wrappers from strictness and cast w/w, notably those for
  a function with a NOINLINE, should inline very late. There
  wasn't really a mechanism for that, which was an existing bug
  really; so I invented a new finalPhase = Phase (-1).  It's used
  for all simplifier runs after the user-visible phase 2,1,0 have
  run.  (No new runs of the simplifier are introduced thereby.)

  See new Note [Compiler phases] in GHC.Types.Basic;
  the main changes are in GHC.Core.Opt.Driver

* Doing this made me trip over two places where the AnonArgFlag on a
  FunTy was being lost so we could end up with (Num a -> ty)
  rather than (Num a => ty)
    - In coercionLKind/coercionRKind
    - In contHoleType in the Simplifier

  I fixed the former by defining mkFunctionType and using it in
  coercionLKind/RKind.

  I could have done the same for the latter, but the information
  is almost to hand.  So I fixed the latter by
    - adding sc_hole_ty to ApplyToVal (like ApplyToTy),
    - adding as_hole_ty to ValArg (like TyArg)
    - adding sc_fun_ty to StrictArg
  Turned out I could then remove ai_type from ArgInfo.  This is
  just moving the deck chairs around, but it worked out nicely.

  See the new Note [AnonArgFlag] in GHC.Types.Var

* When looking at the 'arity decrease' thing (#18093) I discovered
  that stable unfoldings had a much lower arity than the actual
  optimised function.  That's what led to the arity-decrease
  message.  Simple solution: eta-expand.

  It's described in Note [Eta-expand stable unfoldings]
  in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify

* I also discovered that unsafeCoerce wasn't being inlined if
  the context was boring.  So (\x. f (unsafeCoerce x)) would
  create a thunk -- yikes!  I fixed that by making inlineBoringOK
  a bit cleverer: see Note [Inline unsafeCoerce] in GHC.Core.Unfold.

  I also found that unsafeCoerceName was unused, so I removed it.

I made a test case for #18078, and a very similar one for #17673.

The net effect of all this on nofib is very modest, but positive:
