Enable -fkeep-cafs for both static and dynamic builds.
We used to use keepCAFsForGHCi.c to force -fkeep-cafs by using a
__attribute__((constructor)) function.
Besides being an odd choice this broke for static builds where
the constructor function was never called. Yuk.
So instead we now just tell cabal to compile the relevant files with
-fkeep-cafs.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When loading object files for TH or ghci we currently don't properly track
+references to CAFs. This means we need to enable -fkeep-cafs to avoid crashes
+resulting from reusing cafs that usually would have been gced already.
+For dynamic builds this was initially fixed in a roundabout way by enabling
+keep-cafs in a constructor function executed when loading the ghc library.
+However #22417 showed that this caused segfaults in static builds, where such
+constructors have no effect. So instead we now explicitly compile with -fkeep-cafs.
