Tidy implicit binds

We want to put implicit binds into fat interface files, so the easiest
thing to do seems to be to treat them uniformly with other binders.

Interface Files with Core Definitions

This commit adds three new flags

* -fwrite-if-simplified-core: Writes the whole core program into an interface
  file
* -fbyte-code-and-object-code: Generate both byte code and object code
  when compiling a file
* -fprefer-byte-code: Prefer to use byte-code if it's available when
  running TH splices.

The goal for including the core bindings in an interface file is to be able to restart the compiler pipeline
at the point just after simplification and before code generation. Once compilation is
restarted then code can be created for the byte code backend.
This can significantly speed up
start-times for projects in GHCi. HLS already implements its own version of these extended interface
files for this reason.

Preferring to use byte-code means that we can avoid some potentially
expensive code generation steps (see #21700)

* Producing object code is much slower than producing bytecode, and normally you
  need to compile with `-dynamic-too` to produce code in the static and dynamic way, the
  dynamic way just for Template Haskell execution when using a dynamically linked compiler.

* Linking many large object files, which happens once per splice, can be quite
  expensive compared to linking bytecode.

And you can get GHC to compile the necessary byte code so
`-fprefer-byte-code` has access to it by using
`-fbyte-code-and-object-code`.

Fixes #21067

Teach -fno-code about -fprefer-byte-code

This patch teachs the code generation logic of -fno-code about
-fprefer-byte-code, so that if we need to generate code for a module
which prefers byte code, then we generate byte code rather than object
code.

We keep track separately which modules need object code and which byte
code and then enable the relevant code generation for each. Typically
the option will be enabled globally so one of these sets should be empty
and we will just turn on byte code or object code generation.

We also fix the bug where we would generate code for a module which
enables Template Haskell despite the fact it was unecessary.

Fixes #22016

Don't keep exit join points so much

We were religiously keeping exit join points throughout, which
had some bad effects (#21148, #22084).

This MR does two things:

* Arranges that exit join points are inhibited from inlining
  only in /one/ Simplifier pass (right after Exitification).

  See Note [Be selective about not-inlining exit join points]
  in GHC.Core.Opt.Exitify

  It's not a big deal, but it shaves 0.1% off compile times.

* Inline used-once non-recursive join points very aggressively
  Given join j x = rhs in
        joinrec k y = ....j x....

  where this is the only occurrence of `j`, we want to inline `j`.
  (Unless sm_keep_exits is on.)

  See Note [Inline used-once non-recursive join points] in
  GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils

  This is just a tidy-up really.  It doesn't change allocation, but
  getting rid of a binding is always good.

Very effect on nofib -- some up and down.

Make SpecConstr bale out less often

When doing performance debugging on #22084 / !8901, I found that the
algorithm in SpecConstr.decreaseSpecCount was so aggressive that if
there were /more/ specialisations available for an outer function,
that could more or less kill off specialisation for an /inner/
function.  (An example was in nofib/spectral/fibheaps.)

This patch makes it a bit more aggressive, by dividing by 2, rather
than by the number of outer specialisations.

This makes the program bigger, temporarily:

   T19695(normal) ghc/alloc   +11.3% BAD

because we get more specialisation.  But lots of other programs
compile a bit faster and the geometric mean in perf/compiler
is 0.0%.

Metric Increase:
    T19695

CmmToC: emit explicit tail calls when the C compiler supports it

Clang 13+ supports annotating a return statement using the musttail
attribute, which guarantees that it lowers to a tail call if compilation
succeeds.

This patch takes advantage of that feature for the unregisterised code
generator. The configure script tests availability of the musttail
attribute, if it's available, the Cmm tail calls will become C tail
calls that avoids the mini interpreter trampoline overhead. Nothing is
affected if the musttail attribute is not supported.

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#musttail

Don't include BufPos in interface files

Ticket #22162 pointed out that the build directory was leaking into the
ABI hash of a module because the BufPos depended on the location of the
build tree.

BufPos is only used in GHC.Parser.PostProcess.Haddock, and the
information doesn't need to be propagated outside the context of a
module.

Fixes #22162

Refactor IPE initialization

Here we refactor the representation of info table provenance information
in object code to significantly reduce its size and link-time impact.
Specifically, we deduplicate strings and represent them as 32-bit
offsets into a common string table.

In addition, we rework the registration logic to eliminate allocation
from the registration path, which is run from a static initializer where
things like allocation are technically undefined behavior (although it
did previously seem to work). For similar reasons we eliminate lock
usage from registration path, instead relying on atomic CAS.

Closes #22077.

Make Cmm Lint messages use dump style

Lint errors indicate an internal error in GHC, so it makes sense to use
it instead of the user style. This is consistent with Core Lint and STG Lint:

rts: Don't hint inlining of appendToRunQueue

These hints have resulted in compile-time warnings due to failed
inlinings for quite some time. Moreover, it's quite unlikely that
inlining them is all that beneficial given that they are rather sizeable
functions.

Resolves #22280.

Add a perf test for the generics code pattern from #21839.

This code showed a strong shift between compile time (got worse) and
run time (got a lot better) recently which is perfectly acceptable.

However it wasn't clear why the compile time regression was happening
initially so I'm adding this test to make it easier to track such changes
in the future.

rts: Use pthread_setname_np correctly on Darwin

entrypoint.

ncg/aarch64: Fix sub-word sign extension yet again

In adc7f108141a973b6dcb02a7836eed65d61230e8 we fixed a number of issues
to do with sign extension in the AArch64 NCG found by ghc/test-primops>.
However, this patch made a critical error, assuming that getSomeReg
would allocate a fresh register for the result of its evaluation.
However, this is not the case as `getSomeReg (CmmReg r) == r`.
Consequently, any mutation of the register returned by `getSomeReg` may
have unwanted side-effects on other expressions also mentioning `r`. In
the fix listed above, this manifested as the registers containing the
operands of binary arithmetic operations being incorrectly
sign-extended. This resulted in #22282.

Sadly, the rather simple structure of the tests generated
by `test-primops` meant that this particular case was not exercised.
Even more surprisingly, none of our testsuite caught this case.

Here we fix this by ensuring that intermediate sign extension is
performed in a fresh register.

Fixes #22282.

rts: ensure we are below maxHeapSize after returning megablocks

When the heap is heavily block fragmented the live byte size might be
low while the memory usage is high. We want to ensure that heap overflow
triggers in these cases.

We do so by checking that we can return enough megablocks to
under maxHeapSize at the end of GC.

DmdAnal: Look through unfoldings of DataCon wrappers (#22241)

Previously, the demand signature we computed upfront for a DataCon wrapper

lacked boxity information and was much less precise than the demand transformer

for the DataCon worker.

In this patch we adopt the solution to look through unfoldings of DataCon

wrappers during Demand Analysis, but still attach a demand signature for other

passes such as the Simplifier.

See `Note [DmdAnal for DataCon wrappers]` for more details.

Fixes #22241.

Loopification in OccurAnal (#13966, #14068, #14287, #22227)

The join point work postulated the feasability of a Skip-less definition of an
unfoldr/destroy stream fusion framework at no performance cost, but we so far
lacked the necessary loopification transformation to make the prophecy come
true. This patch changes that.

Now, whenever occurrence analysis spots a tail-recursive letrec that is not
already a join point, e.g.,
```
letrec next x = if .. then 0 else next (x+1)
in \y -> if odd (next y) then "odd" else "even"
```
it will transform to
```
let next x =
      joinrec next x = if .. then 0 else next (x+1)
      in next x
in \y -> if odd (next y) then "odd" else "even"
```
And now `next` is likely to inline, enabling further simplification.

More details in Note [Join point loopification].

Fixes #13966, #14068, #14287, #22227 and adds according reproduction test cases.

Denest NonRecs in SpecConstr for more specialisation (#22277)

See Note [Denesting non-recursive let bindings].

Fixes #22277. It is also related to #14951 and #14844 in that it
fixes a very specific case of looking through a non-recursive let binding in
SpecConstr.

If applied to master pre-loopification changes (see !9141), there is virtually
no impact on NoFib or ghc/alloc perf, but it fixes a bad interaction between
Loopification and SpecConstr.
