CorePrep: Eta expand arguments (#23083)

Previously, we'd only eta expand let bindings and lambdas,
now we'll also eta expand arguments such as in T23083:
```hs
g f h = f (h `seq` (h $))
```
Unless `-fpedantic-bottoms` is set, we'll now transform to
```hs
g f h = f (\eta -> h eta)
```
in CorePrep.

See the new `Note [Eta expansion of arguments in CorePrep]` for the details.

We only do this optimisation with -O2 because we saw 2-3% ghc/alloc regressions
in T4801 and T5321FD.

Fixes #23083.

+Note [Eta expansion of arguments in CorePrep]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+We eta expand arguments in here, in CorePrep, rather than in the Simplifier, and
+do so based on 'exprEtaExpandArity' rather than the cheaper 'exprArity' analysis
+we do on let RHSs and lambdas. The reason for the latter is that the Simplifier
+has already run the more costly analysis on lambdas and let RHSs and eta
+expanded accordingly, while it does not try to eta expand arguments at all.
+
+So why eta expand arguments in CorePrep rather than in the Simplifier?
+There are two reasons why eta expansion of arguments is useful
+
+  1. In expressions like @f (h `seq` (g $))@ (from T23083) eta expanding the
+     argument to @f (\x -> h `seq` (g $ x))@ allows us to save allocation of a
+     closure and have a faster call sequence; a code-gen matter.
+
+  2. The eta expansion to @f (\x -> h `seq` (g $ x))@ gives rise to another
+     opportunity: We could inline ($), saving call overhead and perhaps turning
+     an unknown call into a known call. In general, there could be further
+     simplification based on the structure of the concrete argument `x`.
+     Whether we should inline in the PAP `(g $)` (thus solving this problem
+     independently of (1)) is discussed in #22886.
+
+To profit from (1), it is enough to eta expand in CorePrep, while (2) shows
+that in some rare cases as above, eta expansion of arguments may enable
+further simplification. CorePrep would not allow to exploit (2), while eta
+expansion in the Simplifier would.
+
+Alas, trying to eta expand arguments in every round of the Simplifier is costly
+(!10088 measured a geom. mean of +2.0% regression in ghc/alloc perf, regressing
+as much as 27.2%), so we only exploit (1) for now.
