Make typechecker equality consider visibility in ForAllTys

Previously, `can_eq_nc'` would equate `ForAllTy`s regardless of their
`ArgFlag`, including `forall i -> i -> Type` and `forall i. i -> Type`! To fix
this, `can_eq_nc'` now uses the `sameVis` function to first check if the
`ArgFlag`s are equal modulo specificity. I have also updated `tcEqType`'s
implementation to match this behavior. For more explanation on the "modulo
specificity" part, see the new `Note [ForAllTy and typechecker equality]`
in `GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical`.

While I was in town, I fixed some related documentation issues:

* I added `Note [Typechecker equality]` to `GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType` to describe
  what exactly distinguishes `can_eq_nc'` and `tcEqType` (which implement
  typechecker equality) from `eqType` (which implements definitional equality,
  which does not care about the `ArgFlags` of `ForAllTy`s at all).
* The User's Guide had some outdated prose on the specified/inferred
  distinction being different for types and kinds, a holdover from #15079. This
  is no longer the case on today's GHC, so I removed this prose, added some new
  prose to take its place, and added a regression test for the programs in
  #15079.
* The User's Guide had some _more_ outdated prose on inferred type variables
  not being allowed in `default` type signatures for class methods, which is no
  longer true as of the resolution of #18432.
* The related `Note [Deferred Unification]` was being referenced as
  `Note [Deferred unification]` elsewhere, which made it harder to `grep`
  for. I decided to change the name of the Note to `Deferred unification`
  for consistency with the capitalization style used for most other Notes.

Fixes #18863.

Refactor numeric constant folding rules

Avoid the use of global pattern synonyms.

1) I think it's going to be helpful to implement constant folding for
   other numeric types, especially Natural which doesn't have a wrapping
   behavior. We'll have to refactor these rules even more so we'd better
   make them less cryptic.

2) It should also be slightly faster because global pattern synonyms
   matched operations for every numeric types instead of the current one:
   e.g., ":**:" pattern was matching multiplication for both Int# and
   Word# types. As we will probably want to implement constant folding
   for other numeric types (Int8#, Int16#, etc.), it is more efficient
   to only match primops for a given type as we do now.

Simplify constant-folding (#18032)

See #18032 for the details.

* Use `Lit (LitNumber _ i)` instead of `isLitValue_maybe` which does
  more work but that is not needed for constant-folding
* Don't export `GHC.Types.Literal.isLitValue_maybe`
* Kill `GHC.Types.Literal.isLitValue` which isn't used

Document that ccall convention doesn't support varargs

We do not support foreign "C" imports of varargs functions. While this
works on amd64, in general the platform's calling convention may need
more type information that our Cmm representation can currently provide.
For instance, this is the case with Darwin's AArch64 calling convention.
Document this fact in the users guide and fix T5423 which makes use of a
disallowed foreign import.

Closes #18854.

Display results of GHC.Core.Lint.lint* functions consistently

Previously, the functions in `GHC.Core.Lint` used a patchwork of
different ways to display Core Lint errors:

* `lintPassResult` (which is the source of most Core Lint errors) renders
  Core Lint errors with a distinctive banner (e.g.,
  `*** Core Lint errors : in result of ... ***`) that sets them apart
  from ordinary GHC error messages.
* `lintAxioms`, in contrast, uses a completely different code path that
  displays Core Lint errors in a rather confusing manner. For example,
  the program in #18770 would give these results:

  ```
  Bug.hs:1:1: error:
      Bug.hs:12:1: warning:
          Non-*-like kind when *-like expected: RuntimeRep
          when checking the body of forall: 'TupleRep '[r]
          In the coercion axiom Bug.N:T :: []. Bug.T ~_R Any
          Substitution: [TCvSubst
                           In scope: InScope {r}
                           Type env: [axl :-> r]
                           Co env: []]
    |
  1 | {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
    | ^
  ```
* Further digging reveals that `GHC.IfaceToCore` displays Core Lint
  errors for iface unfoldings as though they were a GHC panic. See, for
  example, this excerpt from #17723:

  ```
  ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
    (GHC version 8.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
          Iface Lint failure
    In interface for Lib
    ...
  ```

This patch makes all of these code paths display Core Lint errors and
warnings consistently. I decided to adopt the conventions that
`lintPassResult` currently uses, as they appear to have been around the
longest (and look the best, in my subjective opinion). We now use the
`displayLintResult` function for all three scenarios mentioned above.
For example, here is what the Core Lint error for the program in #18770 looks
like after this patch:

```
[1 of 1] Compiling Bug              ( Bug.hs, Bug.o )
*** Core Lint errors : in result of TcGblEnv axioms ***
Bug.hs:12:1: warning:
    Non-*-like kind when *-like expected: RuntimeRep
    when checking the body of forall: 'TupleRep '[r_axn]
    In the coercion axiom N:T :: []. T ~_R Any
    Substitution: [TCvSubst
                     In scope: InScope {r_axn}
                     Type env: [axn :-> r_axn]
                     Co env: []]
*** Offending Program ***
axiom N:T :: T = Any -- Defined at Bug.hs:12:1
*** End of Offense ***

<no location info>: error:
Compilation had errors
```

Fixes #18770.

hadrian: Don't capture RunTest output

There are a few reasons why capturing the output of the RunTest builder
is undesirable:

 * there is a large amount of output which then gets unnecessarily
   duplicated by Hadrian if the builder fails

 * the output may contain codepoints which are unrepresentable in the
   current codepage on Windows, causing Hadrian to crash

 * capturing the output causes the testsuite driver to disable
   its colorisation logic, making the output less legible.

Constant-folding: don't pass through GHC's Int/Word (fix #11704)

Constant-folding rules for integerToWord/integerToInt were performing
the following coercions at compilation time:

    integerToWord: target's Integer -> ghc's Word -> target's Word
    integerToInt : target's Integer -> ghc's Int -> target's Int

1) It was wrong for cross-compilers when GHC's word size is smaller than
   the target one. This patch avoids passing through GHC's word-sized
   types:

    integerToWord: target's Integer -> ghc's Integer -> target's Word
    integerToInt : target's Integer -> ghc's Integer -> target's Int

2) Additionally we didn't wrap the target word/int literal to make it
   fit into the target's range! This broke the invariant of literals
   only containing values in range.

   The existing code is wrong only with a 64-bit cross-compiling GHC,
   targeting a 32-bit platform, and performing constant folding on a
   literal that doesn't fit in a 32-bit word. If GHC was built with
   DEBUG, the assertion in GHC.Types.Literal.mkLitWord would fail.
   Otherwise the bad transformation would go unnoticed.

NCG: Fix 64bit int comparisons on 32bit x86

We no compare these by doing 64bit subtraction and
checking the resulting flags.

We used to do this differently but the old approach was
broken when the high bits compared equal and the comparison
was one of >= or <=.

The new approach should be both correct and faster.

Naming, value types and tests for Addr# atomics

The atomic Exchange and CAS operations on integral types are updated to
take and return more natural `Word#` rather than `Int#` values.  These
are bit-block not arithmetic operations, and the sign bit plays no
special role.

Standardises the names to `atomic<OpType><ValType>Addr#`, where `OpType` is one
of `Cas` or `Exchange` and `ValType` is presently either `Word` or `Addr`.
Eventually, variants for `Word32` and `Word64` can and should be added,
once #11953 and related issues (e.g. #13825) are resolved.

Adds tests for `Addr#` CAS that mirror existing tests for
`MutableByteArray#`.

Replace HsImplicitBndrs with HsOuterTyVarBndrs

This refactors the GHC AST to remove `HsImplicitBndrs` and replace it with
`HsOuterTyVarBndrs`, a type which records whether the outermost quantification
in a type is explicit (i.e., with an outermost, invisible `forall`) or
implicit. As a result of this refactoring, it is now evident in the AST where
the `forall`-or-nothing rule applies: it's all the places that use
`HsOuterTyVarBndrs`. See the revamped `Note [forall-or-nothing rule]` in
`GHC.Hs.Type` (previously in `GHC.Rename.HsType`).

Moreover, the places where `ScopedTypeVariables` brings lexically scoped type
variables into scope are a subset of the places that adhere to the
`forall`-or-nothing rule, so this also makes places that interact with
`ScopedTypeVariables` easier to find. See the revamped
`Note [Lexically scoped type variables]` in `GHC.Hs.Type` (previously in
`GHC.Tc.Gen.Sig`).

`HsOuterTyVarBndrs` are used in type signatures (see `HsOuterSigTyVarBndrs`)
and type family equations (see `HsOuterFamEqnTyVarBndrs`). The main difference
between the former and the latter is that the former cares about specificity
but the latter does not.

There are a number of knock-on consequences:

* There is now a dedicated `HsSigType` type, which is the combination of
  `HsOuterSigTyVarBndrs` and `HsType`. `LHsSigType` is now an alias for an
  `XRec` of `HsSigType`.
* Working out the details led us to a substantial refactoring of
  the handling of explicit (user-written) and implicit type-variable
  bindings in `GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType`.

  Instead of a confusing family of higher order functions, we now
  have a local data type, `SkolemInfo`, that controls how these
  binders are kind-checked.

  It remains very fiddly, not fully satisfying. But it's better
  than it was.

Fixes #16762. Bumps the Haddock submodule.

Refactor -dynamic-too handling

1) Don't modify DynFlags (too much) for -dynamic-too: now when we
   generate dynamic outputs for "-dynamic-too", we only set "dynamicNow"
   boolean field in DynFlags instead of modifying several other fields.
   These fields now have accessors that take dynamicNow into account.

2) Use DynamicTooState ADT to represent -dynamic-too state. It's much
   clearer than the undocumented "DynamicTooConditional" that was used
   before.

As a result, we can finally remove the hscs_iface_dflags field in
HscRecomp. There was a comment on this field saying:

   "FIXME (osa): I don't understand why this is necessary, but I spent
   almost two days trying to figure this out and I couldn't .. perhaps
   someone who understands this code better will remove this later."

I don't fully understand the details, but it was needed because of the
changes made to the DynFlags for -dynamic-too.

There is still something very dubious in GHC.Iface.Recomp: we have to
disable the "dynamicNow" flag at some point for some Backpack's "heinous
hack" to continue to work. It may be because interfaces for indefinite
units are always non-dynamic, or because we mix and match dynamic and
non-dynamic interfaces (#9176), or something else, who knows?
