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

This MR fixes #21694, #21755.  It also makes sure that #21948 and
fix to #21694.

* 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].

* To make "no free join points in arityType" work out I had to avoid
  trying to use eta-expansion for runRW#. This entailed a few changes
  in the Simplifier's treatment of runRW#.  See
  GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration Note [No eta-expansion in runRW#]

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

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

* arityType previously treated join points differently to other
  let-bindings. This patch makes them unform; arityType analyses
  the RHS of all bindings to get its ArityType, and extends am_sigs.

  I realised that, now we have am_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 in
  arityType (involving a fake ABot type) that led to a serious bug:
  #21755.  Fixed by this refactoring, which treats them uniformly;
  but without breaking #18328.

  In fact, the arity for recursive join bindings is pretty tricky;
  see the long Note [Arity for recursive join bindings]
  in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils.  That led to more refactoring,
  including deciding that an Id could have an Arity that is bigger
  than its JoinArity; see Note [Invariants on join points], item
  2(b) in GHC.Core

* Make sure that the "demand threshold" for join points in DmdAnal
  is no bigger than the join-arity.  In GHC.Core.Opt.DmdAnal see
  Note [Demand signatures are computed for a threshold arity based on idArity]

* I moved GHC.Core.Utils.exprIsDeadEnd into GHC.Core.Opt.Arity,
  where it more properly belongs.

* Remove an old, redundant hack in FloatOut.  The old Note was
  Note [Bottoming floats: eta expansion] in GHC.Core.Opt.SetLevels.

Compile time improves very slightly on average:

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% increase in exchange for goodness elsewhere.

Drop make build system

Here we at long last remove the `make`-based build system, it having
been replaced with the Shake-based Hadrian build system. Users are
encouraged to refer to the documentation in `hadrian/doc` and this [1]
blog post for details on using Hadrian.

Closes #17527.

Revert "Revert "Refactor SpecConstr to use treat bindings uniformly""

This reverts commit 851d8dd89a7955864b66a3da8b25f1dd88a503f8.

This commit was originally reverted due to an increase in space usage.
This was diagnosed as because the SCE increased in size and that was
being retained by another leak. See #22102

Avoid retaining bindings via ModGuts held on the stack

It's better to overwrite the bindings fields of the ModGuts before
starting an iteration as then all the old bindings can be collected as
soon as the simplifier has processed them. Otherwise we end up with the
old bindings being alive until right at the end of the simplifier pass
as the mg_binds field is only modified right at the end.

Force imposs_deflt_cons in filterAlts

This fixes a pretty serious space leak as the forced thunk would retain
`Alt b` values which would then contain reference to a lot of old
bindings and other simplifier gunk.

The OtherCon unfolding was not forced on subsequent simplifier runs so
more and more old stuff would be retained until the end of
simplification.

Fixing this has a drastic effect on maximum residency for the mmark
package which goes from

```
  45,005,401,056 bytes allocated in the heap
  17,227,721,856 bytes copied during GC
     818,281,720 bytes maximum residency (33 sample(s))
       9,659,144 bytes maximum slop
            2245 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)
```

to

```
  45,039,453,304 bytes allocated in the heap
  13,128,181,400 bytes copied during GC
     331,546,608 bytes maximum residency (40 sample(s))
       7,471,120 bytes maximum slop
             916 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)
```

See #21993 for some more discussion.

Use Solo to avoid retaining the SCE but to avoid performing the substitution

The use of Solo here allows us to force the selection into the SCE to obtain
the Subst but without forcing the substitution to be applied. The resulting thunk
is placed into a lazy field which is rarely forced, so forcing it regresses
peformance.
