Allow configuration of error message printing

This MR implements the idea of #21731 that the printing of a diagnostic
method should be configurable at the printing time.

The interface of the `Diagnostic` class is modified from:

```
class Diagnostic a where
  diagnosticMessage :: a -> DecoratedSDoc
  diagnosticReason  :: a -> DiagnosticReason
  diagnosticHints   :: a -> [GhcHint]
```

to

```
class Diagnostic a where
  type DiagnosticOpts a
  defaultDiagnosticOpts :: DiagnosticOpts a
  diagnosticMessage :: DiagnosticOpts a -> a -> DecoratedSDoc
  diagnosticReason  :: a -> DiagnosticReason
  diagnosticHints   :: a -> [GhcHint]
```

and so each `Diagnostic` can implement their own configuration record
which can then be supplied by a client in order to dictate how to print
out the error message.

At the moment this only allows us to implement #21722 nicely but in
future it is more natural to separate the configuration of how much
information we put into an error message and how much we decide to print
out of it.

Add -fsuppress-error-contexts to disable printing error contexts in errors

In many development environments, the source span is the primary means
of seeing what an error message relates to, and the In the expression:
and In an equation for: clauses are not particularly relevant. However,
they can grow to be quite long, which can make the message itself both
feel overwhelming and interact badly with limited-space areas.

It's simple to implement this flag so we might as well do it and give
the user control about how they see their messages.

Fixes #21722

Add VecSlot for unboxed sums of SIMD vectors

This patch adds the missing `VecRep` case to `primRepSlot` function and
all the necessary machinery to carry this new `VecSlot` through code
generation. This allows programs involving unboxed sums of SIMD vectors
to be written and compiled.

Fixes #22187

Remove SIMD conversions

This patch makes it so that packing/unpacking SIMD
vectors always uses the right sized types, e.g.
unpacking a Word16X4# will give a tuple of Word16#s.

As a result, we can get rid of the conversion instructions
that were previously required.

Fixes #22296

Cmm Lint: relax SIMD register assignment check

As noted in #22297, SIMD vector registers can be used
to store different kinds of values, e.g. xmm1 can be used
both to store integer and floating point values.
The Cmm type system doesn't properly account for this, so
we weaken the Cmm register assignment lint check to only
compare widths when comparing a vector type with its
allocated vector register.

More precise types for fields of OverlappingInstances and UnsafeOverlap in TcSolverReportMsg

It's clear from asserts in `GHC.Tc.Errors` that `overlappingInstances_matches`
and `unsafeOverlapped` are supposed to be non-empty, and `unsafeOverlap_matches`
contains a single instance, but these invariants are immediately lost afterwards
and not encoded in types. This patch enforces the invariants by pattern matching
and makes types more precise, avoiding asserts and partial functions such as `head`.

TyEq:N assertion: only for saturated applications

The assertion that checked TyEq:N in canEqCanLHSFinish incorrectly
triggered in the case of an unsaturated newtype TyCon heading the RHS,
even though we can't unwrap such an application. Now, we only trigger
an assertion failure in case of a saturated application of a newtype
TyCon.

remove a no-warn directive from GHC.Cmm.ContFlowOpt

This patch is motivated by the desire to remove the {-# OPTIONS_GHC
-fno-warn-incomplete-patterns #-} directive at the top of
GHC.Cmm.ContFlowOpt. (Based on the text in this coding standards doc, I
understand it's a goal of the project to remove such directives.) I
chose this task because I'm a new contributor to GHC, and it seemed like
a good way to get acquainted with the patching process.

In order to address the warning that arose when I removed the no-warn
directive, I added a case to removeUnreachableBlocksProc to handle the
CmmData constructor. Clearly, since this partial function has not been
erroring out in the wild, its inputs are always in practice wrapped by
the CmmProc constructor. Therefore the CmmData case is handled by a
precise panic (which is an improvement over the partial pattern match
from before).

build: get rid of `HAVE_TIME_H`

As advertized by `autoreconf`:

> All current systems provide time.h; it need not be checked for.

Hence, remove the check for it in `configure.ac` and remove conditional
inclusion of the header in `HAVE_TIME_H` blocks where applicable.

The `time.h` header was being included in various source files without a
`HAVE_TIME_H` guard already anyway.

rts: remove use of `TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME`

`autoreconf` will insert an `m4_warning` when the obsolescent
`AC_HEADER_TIME` macro is used:

> Update your code to rely only on HAVE_SYS_TIME_H,
> then remove this warning and the obsolete code below it.
> All current systems provide time.h; it need not be checked for.
> Not all systems provide sys/time.h, but those that do, all allow
> you to include it and time.h simultaneously.

Presence of `sys/time.h` was already checked in an earlier
`AC_CHECK_HEADERS` invocation, so `AC_HEADER_TIME` can be dropped and
guards relying on `TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME` can be reworked to
(unconditionally) include `time.h` and include `sys/time.h` based on
`HAVE_SYS_TIME_H`.

Note the documentation of `AC_HEADER_TIME` in (at least) Autoconf 2.67
says

> This macro is obsolescent, as current systems can include both files
> when they exist. New programs need not use this macro.

`gcc`'s lacking Unicode support. This is now no longer necessary (and in
fact actively unhelpful) since we rather use Clang.

Introduce a standard thunk for allocating strings

Currently for a top-level closure in the form

    hey = unpackCString# x

we generate code like this:

    Main.hey_entry() //  [R1]
             { info_tbls: [(c2T4,
                            label: Main.hey_info
                            rep: HeapRep static { Thunk }
                            srt: Nothing)]
               stack_info: arg_space: 8 updfr_space: Just 8
             }
         {offset
           c2T4: // global
               _rqm::P64 = R1;
               if ((Sp + 8) - 24 < SpLim) (likely: False) goto c2T5; else goto c2T6;
           c2T5: // global
               R1 = _rqm::P64;
               call (stg_gc_enter_1)(R1) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8;
           c2T6: // global
               (_c2T1::I64) = call "ccall" arg hints:  [PtrHint,
                                                        PtrHint]  result hints:  [PtrHint] newCAF(BaseReg, _rqm::P64);
               if (_c2T1::I64 == 0) goto c2T3; else goto c2T2;
           c2T3: // global
               call (I64[_rqm::P64])() args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8;
           c2T2: // global
               I64[Sp - 16] = stg_bh_upd_frame_info;
               I64[Sp - 8] = _c2T1::I64;
               R2 = hey1_r2Gg_bytes;
               Sp = Sp - 16;
               call GHC.CString.unpackCString#_info(R2) args: 24, res: 0, upd: 24;
         }
     }

This code is generated for every string literal. Only difference between
top-level closures like this is the argument for the bytes of the string
(hey1_r2Gg_bytes in the code above).

With this patch we introduce a standard thunk in the RTS, called
stg_MK_STRING_info, that does what `unpackCString# x` does, except it
gets the bytes address from the payload. Using this, for the closure
above, we generate this:

    Main.hey_closure" {
        Main.hey_closure:
            const stg_MK_STRING_info;
            const 0; // padding for indirectee
            const 0; // static link
            const 0; // saved info
            const hey1_r1Gg_bytes; // the payload
    }

This is much smaller in code.

Metric Decrease:

    T11195

    T12425

Fix binder-swap bug

This patch fixes #21229 properly, by avoiding doing a
binder-swap on dictionary Ids.  This is pretty subtle, and explained
in Note [Care with binder-swap on dictionaries].

Test is already in simplCore/should_run/T21229

This allows us to restore a feature to the specialiser that we had
to revert: see Note [Specialising polymorphic dictionaries].
(This is done in a separate patch.)

I also modularised things, using a new function scrutBinderSwap_maybe
in all the places where we are (effectively) doing a binder-swap,
notably

* Simplify.Iteration.addAltUnfoldings
* SpecConstr.extendCaseBndrs

In Simplify.Iteration.addAltUnfoldings I also eliminated a guard
    Many <- idMult case_bndr
because we concluded, in #22123, that it was doing no good.

Make the specialiser handle polymorphic specialisation

Ticket #13873 unexpectedly showed that a SPECIALISE pragma made a
program run (a lot) slower, because less specialisation took place
overall. It turned out that the specialiser was missing opportunities
because of quantified type variables.

It was quite easy to fix. The story is given in
    Note [Specialising polymorphic dictionaries]

Two other minor fixes in the specialiser

* There is no benefit in specialising data constructor /wrappers/.
  (They can appear overloaded because they are given a dictionary
  to store in the constructor.)  Small guard in canSpecImport.

* There was a buglet in the UnspecArg case of specHeader, in the
  case where there is a dead binder. We need a LitRubbish filler
  for the specUnfolding stuff.  I expanded
  Note [Drop dead args from specialisations] to explain.

There is a 4% increase in compile time for T15164, because we generate
more specialised code.  This seems OK.

Metric Increase:

Numeric exceptions: replace FFI calls with primops

ghc-bignum needs a way to raise numerical exceptions defined in base
package. At the time we used FFI calls into primops defined in the RTS.
These FFI calls had to be wrapped into hacky bottoming functions because
"foreign import prim" syntax doesn't support giving a bottoming demand
to the foreign call (cf #16929).

These hacky wrapper functions trip up the JavaScript backend (#21078)
because they are polymorphic in their return type. This commit
replaces them with primops very similar to raise# but raising predefined
exceptions.

Broaden the in-scope sets for liftEnvSubst and composeTCvSubst

This patch fixes two distinct (but closely related) buglets that were uncovered
in #22235:

* `liftEnvSubst` used an empty in-scope set, which was not wide enough to cover
  the variables in the range of the substitution. This patch fixes this by
  populating the in-scope set from the free variables in the range of the
  substitution.
* `composeTCvSubst` applied the first substitution argument to the range of the
  second substitution argument, but the first substitution's in-scope set was
  not wide enough to cover the range of the second substutition. We similarly
  fix this issue in this patch by widening the first substitution's in-scope set
  before applying it.

Fixes #22235.

Introduce TcRnWithHsDocContext (#22346)

Before this patch, GHC used withHsDocContext to attach an HsDocContext
to an error message:

	addErr $ mkTcRnUnknownMessage $ mkPlainError noHints (withHsDocContext ctxt msg)

The problem with this approach is that it only works with
TcRnUnknownMessage. But could we attach an HsDocContext to a
structured error message in a generic way? This patch solves
the problem by introducing a new constructor to TcRnMessage:

	data TcRnMessage where
	  ...
	  TcRnWithHsDocContext :: !HsDocContext -> !TcRnMessage -> TcRnMessage
	  ...

Use TcRnVDQInTermType in noNestedForallsContextsErr (#20115)

When faced with VDQ in the type of a term, GHC generates the following
error message:

	Illegal visible, dependent quantification in the type of a term
	(GHC does not yet support this)

Prior to this patch, there were two ways this message could have been
generated and represented:

	1. with the dedicated constructor TcRnVDQInTermType
	    (see check_type in GHC.Tc.Validity)
	2. with the transitional constructor TcRnUnknownMessage
	    (see noNestedForallsContextsErr in GHC.Rename.Utils)

Not only this led to duplication of code generating the final SDoc,
it also made it tricky to track the origin of the error message.

This patch fixes the problem by using TcRnVDQInTermType exclusively.

Remove source location information from interface files

This change aims to minimize source location information leaking
into interface files, which makes ABI hashes dependent on the
build location.

The `Binary (Located a)` instance has been removed completely.

It seems that the HIE interface still needs the ability to
serialize SrcSpans, but by wrapping the instances, it should
be a lot more difficult to inadvertently add source location
information.

rts: fix lifetime of `start_thread`s `name` value

Since, unlike the code in ee0deb8054da2^, usage of the `name` value
passed to `createOSThread` now outlives said function's lifetime, and
could hence be released by the caller by the time the new thread runs
`start_thread`, it needs to be copied.

rts: fix OS thread naming in ticker

Since ee0deb805, the use of `pthread_setname_np` on Darwin was fixed
when invoking `createOSThread`. However, the 'ticker' has some
thread-creation code which doesn't rely on `createOSThread`, yet also
uses `pthread_setname_np`.

This patch enforces all thread creation to go through a single
function, which uses the (correct) thread-naming code introduced in
ee0deb805.

ThToHs: fix overzealous parenthesization

Before this patch, when converting from TH.Exp to LHsExpr GhcPs,
the compiler inserted more parentheses than required:

	((f a) (b + c)) d

This was happening because the LHS of the function application was
parenthesized as if it was the RHS.

Now we use funPrec and appPrec appropriately and produce sensibly
parenthesized expressions:

	f a (b + c) d

I also took the opportunity to remove the special case for LamE,
which was not special at all and simply duplicated code.

Add accurate skolem info when quantifying

Ticket #22379 revealed that skolemiseQuantifiedTyVar was
dropping the passed-in skol_info on the floor when it encountered
a SkolemTv.  Bad!  Several TyCons thereby share a single SkolemInfo
on their binders, which lead to bogus error reports.

Instead of sprinkling the codebase with

rts: specify deallocator of allocating functions

This patch adds a new `STG_MALLOC1` macro (and its counterpart
`STG_MALLOC2` for completeness) which allows to specify the deallocation
function to be used with allocations of allocating functions, and
applies it to `stg*allocBytes`.

It also fixes a case where `free` was used to free up an
`stgMallocBytes` allocation, found by the above change.

gen-dll: Drop it

Currently it is only used by the make build system, which is soon to be
retired, and it has not built since 41cf758b. We may need to reintroduce
it when dynamic-linking support is introduced on Windows, but we will
cross that bridge once we get there.

Port foundation numeric tests to GHC testsuite

This commit ports the numeric tests which found a regression in GHC-9.4.

https://github.com/haskell-foundation/foundation/issues/571

Included in the commit is a simple random number generator and
simplified QuickCheck implementation. In future these could be factored
out of this standalone file and reused as a general purpose library
which could be used for other QuickCheck style tests in the testsuite.

See #22282

Fire RULES in the Specialiser

The Specialiser has, for some time, fires class-op RULES in the
specialiser itself: see
   Note [Specialisation modulo dictionary selectors]

This MR beefs it up a bit, so that it fires /all/ RULES in the
specialiser, not just class-op rules.  See
   Note [Fire rules in the specialiser]
The result is a bit more specialisation; see test
   simplCore/should_compile/T21851_2

This pushed me into a bit of refactoring.  I made a new data types
GHC.Core.Rules.RuleEnv, which combines
  - the several source of rules (local, home-package, external)
  - the orphan-module dependencies

in a single record for `getRules` to consult.  That drove a bunch of
follow-on refactoring, including allowing me to remove
cr_visible_orphan_mods from the CoreReader data type.

I moved some of the RuleBase/RuleEnv stuff into GHC.Core.Rule.

Make indexError work better

The problem here is described at some length in
Note [Boxity for bottoming functions] and
Note [Reboxed crud for bottoming calls] in GHC.Core.Opt.DmdAnal.

This patch adds a SPECIALISE pragma for indexError, which
makes it much less vulnerable to the problem described in
these Notes.

(This came up in another line of work, where a small change made
indexError do reboxing (in nofib/spectral/simple/table_sort)
that didn't happen before my change.  I've opened #22404
to document the fagility.
