ANFise string literal arguments (#23270)

This instates the invariant that a trivial CoreExpr translates to an atomic
StgExpr. Nice.

Annoyingly, in -O0 we sometimes generate
```
foo = case "blah"# of sat { __DEFAULT -> unpackCString# sat }
```
which makes it a bit harder to spot that we can emit a standard
`stg_unpack_cstring` thunk.

Fixes #23270.

CorePrep: Eliminate EmptyCase and unsafeEqualityProof in CoreToStg instead

We eliminate EmptyCase by way of `coreToStg (Case e _ _ []) = coreToStg e` now.
The main reason is that it plays far better in conjunction with eta expansion
(as we aim to do for arguments in CorePrep, #23083), because we can discard
any arguments, `(case e of {}) eta == case e of {}`, whereas in `(e |> co) eta`
it's impossible to discard the argument.

We do also give the same treatment to unsafeCoerce proofs and treat them as
trivial iff their RHS is trivial.

It is also both much simpler to describe than the previous mechanism of emitting
an unsafe coercion and simpler to implement, removing quite a bit of commentary
and `CorePrepProv`.

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.
