Force safeInferred to avoid retaining extra copy of DynFlags

This will only have a (very) modest impact on memory but we don't want
to retain old copies of DynFlags hanging around so best to force this

Fix leaks in --make mode when there are module loops

This patch fixes quite a tricky leak where we would end up retaining
stale ModDetails due to rehydrating modules against non-finalised
interfaces.

== Loops with multiple boot files

It is possible for a module graph to have a loop (SCC, when ignoring boot files)
which requires multiple boot files to break. In this case we must perform the
necessary hydration steps before and after compiling modules which have boot files
which are described above for corectness but also perform an additional hydration step
at the end of the SCC to remove space leaks.

Consider the following example:

┌───────┐   ┌───────┐
│       │   │       │
│   A   │   │   B   │
│       │   │       │
└─────┬─┘   └───┬───┘
      │         │
 ┌────▼─────────▼──┐
 │                 │
 │        C        │
 └────┬─────────┬──┘
      │         │
 ┌────▼──┐  ┌───▼───┐
 │       │  │       │
 │ A-boot│  │ B-boot│
 │       │  │       │
 └───────┘  └───────┘

 A, B and C live together in a SCC. Say we compile the modules in order
 A-boot, B-boot, C, A, B then when we compile A we will perform the hydration steps
 (because A has a boot file). Therefore C will be hydrated relative to A, and the
 ModDetails for A will reference C/A. Then when B is compiled C will be rehydrated again,
 and so B will reference C/A,B, its interface will be hydrated relative to both A and B.
 Now there is a space leak because say C is a very big module, there are now two different copies of
 ModDetails kept alive by modules A and B.

The way to avoid this space leak is to rehydrate an entire SCC together at the
end of compilation so that all the ModDetails point to interfaces for .hs files.
In this example, when we hydrate A, B and C together then both A and B will refer to
C/A,B.

See #21900 for some more discussion.

-------------------------------------------------------

In addition to this simple case, there is also the potential for a leak
during parallel upsweep which is also fixed by this patch. Transcibed is
Note [ModuleNameSet, efficiency and space leaks]

Note [ModuleNameSet, efficiency and space leaks]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During unsweep the results of compiling modules are placed into a MVar, to find
the environment the module needs to compile itself in the MVar is consulted and
the HomeUnitGraph is set accordingly. The reason we do this is that precisely tracking
module dependencies and recreating the HUG from scratch each time is very expensive.

In serial mode (-j1), this all works out fine because a module can only be compiled after
its dependencies have finished compiling and not interleaved with compiling module loops.
Therefore when we create the finalised or no loop interfaces, the HUG only contains
finalised interfaces.

In parallel mode, we have to be more careful because the HUG variable can contain
non-finalised interfaces which have been started by another thread. In order to avoid
a space leak where a finalised interface is compiled against a HPT which contains a
non-finalised interface we have to restrict the HUG to only the visible modules.

The visible modules is recording in the ModuleNameSet, this is propagated upwards
whilst compiling and explains which transitive modules are visible from a certain point.
This set is then used to restrict the HUG before the module is compiled to only
the visible modules and thus avoiding this tricky space leak.

Efficiency of the ModuleNameSet is of utmost importance because a union occurs for
each edge in the module graph. Therefore the set is represented directly as an IntSet
which provides suitable performance, even using a UniqSet (which is backed by an IntMap) is
too slow. The crucial test of performance here is the time taken to a do a no-op build in --make mode.

See test "jspace" for an example which used to trigger this problem.

Fixes #21900

Store interfaces in ModIfaceCache more directly

I realised hydration was completely irrelavant for this cache because
the ModDetails are pruned from the result. So now it simplifies things a
lot to just store the ModIface and Linkable, which we can put into the
cache straight away rather than wait for the final version of a
HomeModInfo to appear.

codeGen/X86: Don't clobber switch variable in switch generation

Previously ce8745952f99174ad9d3bdc7697fd086b47cdfb5 assumed that it was
safe to clobber the switch variable when generating code for a jump
table since we were at the end of a block. However, this assumption is
wrong; the register could be live in the jump target.

StgToCmm: Fix isSimpleScrut when profiling is enabled.

When profiling is enabled we must enter functions that might represent
thunks in order for their sccs to show up in the profile.

We might allocate even if the function is already evaluated in this
case. So we can't consider any potential function thunk to be a simple
scrut when profiling.

Not doing so caused profiled binaries to segfault.

Change `-fprof-late` to insert cost centres after unfolding creation.

The former behaviour of adding cost centres after optimization but
before unfoldings are created is not available via the flag
`prof-late-inline` instead.

I also reduced the overhead of -fprof-late* by pushing the cost centres
into lambdas. This means the cost centres will only account for
execution of functions and not their partial application.

Further I made LATE_CC cost centres it's own CC flavour so they now
won't clash with user defined ones if a user uses the same string for
a custom scc.

LateCC: Don't put cost centres inside constructor workers.

With -fprof-late they are rarely useful as the worker is usually
inlined. Even if the worker is not inlined or we use -fprof-late-linline
they are generally not helpful but bloat compile and run time
significantly. So we just don't add sccs inside constructor workers.

gitlab-ci: Fix hadrian bootstrapping of release pipelines

Previously we would attempt to test hadrian bootstrapping in the
`validate` build flavour. However, `ci.sh` refuses to run validation
builds during release pipelines, resulting in job failures. Fix this by
testing bootstrapping in the `release` flavour during release pipelines.

We also attempted to record perf notes for these builds, which is
redundant work and undesirable now since we no longer build in a
consistent flavour.

Add support for external static plugins (#20964)

This patch adds a new command-line flag:

  -fplugin-library=<file-path>;<unit-id>;<module>;<args>

used like this:

  -fplugin-library=path/to/plugin.so;package-123;Plugin.Module;["Argument","List"]

It allows a plugin to be loaded directly from a shared library. With
this approach, GHC doesn't compile anything for the plugin and doesn't
load any .hi file for the plugin and its dependencies. As such GHC
doesn't need to support two environments (one for plugins, one for
target code), which was the more ambitious approach tracked in #14335.

CmmToLlvm: Don't aliasify builtin LLVM variables

Our aliasification logic would previously turn builtin LLVM variables
into aliases, which apparently confuses LLVM. This manifested in
initializers failing to be emitted, resulting in many profiling failures
with the LLVM backend.

Fixes #22019.

run_ci: remove monoidal-containers

Fixes #21492

MonoidalMap is inlined and used to implement Variables, as before.

The top-level value "jobs" is reimplemented as a regular Map, since it
doesn't use the monoidal union anyway.

Fix #21979 - compact-share failing with -O

I don't have good reason to believe the optimization level should affect
if sharing works or not here. So limit the test to the normal way.

Implement Response File support for HPC

This is an improvement to HPC authored by Richard Wallace
(https://github.com/purefn) and myself. I have received permission from
him to attempt to upstream it. This improvement was originally
implemented as a patch to HPC via input-output-hk/haskell.nix:
https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix/pull/1464

Paraphrasing Richard, HPC currently requires all inputs as command line arguments.
With large projects this can result in an argument list too long error.
I have only seen this error in Nix, but I assume it can occur is a plain Unix environment.

This MR adds the standard response file syntax support to HPC. For
example you can now pass a file to the command line which contains the
arguments.

```
hpc @response_file_1 @response_file_2 ...

The contents of a Response File must have this format:
COMMAND ...

example:
report my_library.tix --include=ModuleA --include=ModuleB
```

Updates hpc submodule

driver: Honour -x option

The -x option is used to manually specify which phase a file should be
started to be compiled from (even if it lacks the correct extension). I
just failed to implement this when refactoring the driver.

In particular Cabal calls GHC with `-E -cpp -x hs Foo.cpphs` to
preprocess source files using GHC.

I added a test to exercise this case.

Fixes #22044

Fix arityType: -fpedantic-bottoms, join points, etc

This MR fixes #21694 and #21755

* For #21694 the underlying problem was that we were calling arityType
  on an expression that had free join points.  This is a Bad Bad Idea.
  See Note [No free join points in arityType].

* I also made andArityType work correctly with -fpedantic-bottoms;
  see Note [Combining case branches: andWithTail].

* I realised that, now we have ae_sigs giving the ArityType for
  let-bound Ids, we don't need the (pre-dating) special code in
  arityType for join points. But instead we need to extend the env for
  Rec bindings, which weren't doing before.  More uniform now.  See
  Note [arityType for let-bindings].

  This meant we could get rid of ae_joins, and in fact get rid of
  EtaExpandArity altogether.  Simpler.

  And finally, it was the strange treatment of join-point Ids (involving
  a fake ABot type) that led to a serious bug: #21755.  Fixed by this
  refactoring

* Rewrote Note [Combining case branches: optimistic one-shot-ness]

Compile time improves slightly on average:

Metrics: compile_time/bytes allocated
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CoOpt_Read(normal) ghc/alloc    803,788,056    747,832,680  -7.1% GOOD
    T18223(normal) ghc/alloc    928,207,320    959,424,016  +3.1%  BAD
         geo. mean                                          -0.3%
         minimum                                            -7.1%
         maximum                                            +3.1%

On Windows it's a bit better: geo mean is -0.6%, and three more
benchmarks trip their compile-time bytes-allocated threshold (they
were all close on the other build):

   T18698b(normal) ghc/alloc    235,619,776    233,219,008  -1.0% GOOD
     T6048(optasm) ghc/alloc    112,208,192    109,704,936  -2.2% GOOD
    T18140(normal) ghc/alloc     85,064,192     83,168,360  -2.2% GOOD

I had a quick look at T18223 but it is knee deep in coercions and
the size of everything looks similar before and after.  I decided
to accept that 3.4% increase in exchange for goodness elsewhere.

Metric Decrease:
    CoOpt_Read
    T18140
    T18698b
    T6048

Metric Increase:
    T18223
