Fix fragile RULE setup in GHC.Float

In testing my type-vs-constraint patch I found that the handling
of Natural literals was very fragile -- and I somehow tripped that
fragility in my work.

So this patch fixes the fragility.
See Note [realToFrac natural-to-float]

This made a big (9%) difference in one existing test in
perf/should_run/T1-359

Type vs Constraint: finally nailed

This big patch addresses the rats-nest of issues that have plagued
us for years, about the relationship between Type and Constraint.
See #11715/#21623.

The main payload of the patch is:
* To introduce CONSTRAINT :: RuntimeRep -> Type
* To make TYPE and CONSTRAINT distinct throughout the compiler

Two overview Notes in GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim

* Note [TYPE and CONSTRAINT]

* Note [Type and Constraint are not apart]
  This is the main complication.

The specifics

* New primitive types (GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim)
  - CONSTRAINT
  - ctArrowTyCon (=>)
  - tcArrowTyCon (-=>)
  - ccArrowTyCon (==>)
  - funTyCon     FUN     -- Not new
  See Note [Function type constructors and FunTy]
  and Note [TYPE and CONSTRAINT]

* GHC.Builtin.Types:
  - New type Constraint = CONSTRAINT LiftedRep
  - I also stopped nonEmptyTyCon being built-in; it only needs to be wired-in

* Exploit the fact that Type and Constraint are distinct throughout GHC
  - Get rid of tcView in favour of coreView.
  - Many tcXX functions become XX functions.
    e.g. tcGetCastedTyVar --> getCastedTyVar

* Kill off Note [ForAllTy and typechecker equality], in (old)
  GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical.  It said that typechecker-equality should ignore
  the specified/inferred distinction when comparein two ForAllTys.  But
  that wsa only weakly supported and (worse) implies that we need a separate
  typechecker equality, different from core equality. No no no.

* GHC.Core.TyCon: kill off FunTyCon in data TyCon.  There was no need for it,
  and anyway now we have four of them!

* GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep: add two FunTyFlags to FunCo
  See Note [FunCo] in that module.

* GHC.Core.Type.  Lots and lots of changes driven by adding CONSTRAINT.
  The key new function is sORTKind_maybe; most other changes are built
  on top of that.

  See also `funTyConAppTy_maybe` and `tyConAppFun_maybe`.

* Fix a longstanding bug in GHC.Core.Type.typeKind, and Core Lint, in
  kinding ForAllTys.  See new tules (FORALL1) and (FORALL2) in GHC.Core.Type.
  (The bug was that before (forall (cv::t1 ~# t2). blah), where
  blah::TYPE IntRep, would get kind (TYPE IntRep), but it should be
  (TYPE LiftedRep).  See Note [Kinding rules for types] in GHC.Core.Type.

* GHC.Core.TyCo.Compare is a new module in which we do eqType and cmpType.
  Of course, no tcEqType any more.

* GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs. I moved some free-var-like function into this module:
  tyConsOfType, visVarsOfType, and occCheckExpand.  Refactoring only.

* GHC.Builtin.Types.  Compiletely re-engineer boxingDataCon_maybe to
  have one for each /RuntimeRep/, rather than one for each /Type/.
  This dramatically widens the range of types we can auto-box.
  See Note [Boxing constructors] in GHC.Builtin.Types
  The boxing types themselves are declared in library ghc-prim:GHC.Types.

  GHC.Core.Make.  Re-engineer the treatment of "big" tuples (mkBigCoreVarTup
  etc) GHC.Core.Make, so that it auto-boxes unboxed values and (crucially)
  types of kind Constraint. That allows the desugaring for arrows to work;
  it gathers up free variables (including dictionaries) into tuples.
  See  Note [Big tuples] in GHC.Core.Make.

  There is still work to do here: #22336. But things are better than
  before.

* GHC.Core.Make.  We need two absent-error Ids, aBSENT_ERROR_ID for types of
  kind Type, and aBSENT_CONSTRAINT_ERROR_ID for vaues of kind Constraint.
  Ditto noInlineId vs noInlieConstraintId in GHC.Types.Id.Make;
  see Note [inlineId magic].

* GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep. Completely refactor the NthCo coercion.  It is now called
  SelCo, and its fields are much more descriptive than the single Int we used to
  have.  A great improvement.  See Note [SelCo] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep.

* GHC.Core.RoughMap.roughMatchTyConName.  Collapse TYPE and CONSTRAINT to
  a single TyCon, so that the rough-map does not distinguish them.

* GHC.Core.DataCon
  - Mainly just improve documentation

* Some significant renamings:
  GHC.Core.Multiplicity: Many -->  ManyTy (easier to grep for)
                         One  -->  OneTy
  GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep TyCoBinder      -->   GHC.Core.Var.PiTyBinder
  GHC.Core.Var      TyCoVarBinder   -->   ForAllTyBinder
                    AnonArgFlag     -->   FunTyFlag
                    ArgFlag         -->   ForAllTyFlag
  GHC.Core.TyCon    TyConTyCoBinder --> TyConPiTyBinder
  Many functions are renamed in consequence
  e.g. isinvisibleArgFlag becomes isInvisibleForAllTyFlag, etc

* I refactored FunTyFlag (was AnonArgFlag) into a simple, flat data type
    data FunTyFlag
      = FTF_T_T           -- (->)  Type -> Type
      | FTF_T_C           -- (-=>) Type -> Constraint
      | FTF_C_T           -- (=>)  Constraint -> Type
      | FTF_C_C           -- (==>) Constraint -> Constraint

* GHC.Tc.Errors.Ppr.  Some significant refactoring in the TypeEqMisMatch case
  of pprMismatchMsg.

* I made the tyConUnique field of TyCon strict, because I
  saw code with lots of silly eval's.  That revealed that
  GHC.Settings.Constants.mAX_SUM_SIZE can only be 63, because
  we pack the sum tag into a 6-bit field.  (Lurking bug squashed.)

Fixes
* #21530

Updates haddock submodule slightly.

Performance changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was worried that compile times would get worse, but after
some careful profiling we are down to a geometric mean 0.1%
increase in allocation (in perf/compiler).  That seems fine.

There is a big runtime improvement in T10359

eventlog: Ensure that IPE output contains actual info table pointers

The refactoring in 866c736e introduced a rather subtle change in the
semantics of the IPE eventlog output, changing the eventlog field from
encoding info table pointers to "TNTC pointers" (which point to entry
code when tables-next-to-code is enabled). Fix this.

Fixes #22452.

Add Javascript backend

Add JS backend adapted from the GHCJS project by Luite Stegeman.

Some features haven't been ported or implemented yet. Tests for these
features have been disabled with an associated gitlab ticket.
